Technical AI Program Lead & Product Manager (Expert-Vetted, Top 1%) who turns founder vision into shipped, production AI — not slideware. Ex-Tesla and Experian, with $400K+ earned and 100% Job Success across 45+ Upwork engagements. What I actually do: - Orchestrate multi-model AI — design and build agentic workflows across Claude, GPT, and Gemini, including MCP-based tool/context setups. Hands-on where it counts, and I direct engineering for the rest. - Wire AI into your real stack — connect models to live business data and systems (CRM/Salesforce, cloud, internal APIs) so outputs are grounded, not generic. - Build with governance in mind — SOC 2 / RBAC-aware deployments, sensible data boundaries, and controls to keep shadow AI in check. - Own delivery end-to-end — scope, sequence, and ship with real PM rigor (Agile/Scrum) so AI initiatives reach production and stay maintainable. Tools & stack: Claude, GPT, Gemini, MCP, Jira, Linear, HubSpot, AWS, and modern web stacks (React, Node.js, Python). Track record: - $400K+ earned on Upwork across 45+ engagements, 100% Job Success - $10M+ in client ARR influenced; 200+ complex projects shipped across e-commerce, healthcare, and logistics - Long-term, repeat client partnerships If you need someone who speaks both founder and engineer and can take an AI initiative from idea to production, let's talk. Also available for full-stack delivery — web & mobile app development, Amazon Seller Central, Shopify, WooCommerce, and WordPress — plus data & BI (Power BI dashboards & reporting) and digital transformation consulting, solo or with my NinjaDev team. Whether you need a senior AI/product lead or an end-to-end build, reach out and let's talk.

With a strong academic and industrial foundation in food science, I bring over a decade of experience in developing innovative, commercially viable food and beverage products. I hold an MPhil in Food Science and Technology and a Bachelor's in Animal Science, and I’ve worked with companies around the world formulating snacks, beverages, baked goods, dairy, meat, keto foods, premixes, children's products, functional supplements and nutraceutocles. ProFoodFormulations is the next evolution of this journey, an independent food innovation lab that brings cutting-edge science, clean label strategies, and practical manufacturing solutions under one roof.

This six step development process ensures scientific integrity, commercial scalability, and consumer appeal: Step 1: Product Brief & Vision : free of charge consultation I begin by understanding your product idea in detail: • Expected product to be developed. • What is your target market? • What is the expected shelf life of the final product? • Do you have any special ingredients you want to include OR exclude in the product? • If there are any nutritional requirements to meet per serving/portion and serving/portion size. • What are the dietary restrictions and ingredient restrictions to consider when developing the product? • An explanation of the expected sensory properties (flavors, texture, mouthfeel, odor, appearance, etc.). Step 2: Concept & Technology Brief: free of charge Based on your goals, I research the best ingredient systems and processing technologies. You’ll receive a free of charge technology brief that outlines a customised development approach, fixed price based budget breakdown, timeline. Then you can review it and ask me to make changes if required to make it perfect for aligning vision before lab work begins. Step 3: Prototype Formulation & Testing This includes theoretical formulation, perform ingredient trials, prototype development, shelf life testing, testing and sensory analysis tests to craft a formulation with excellent flavor, texture, and stability. Step 4: Complete Documentation Package You’ll receive: • Small-scale recipe that you can test at your place. • Commercial production-ready large-scale recipe. • Detailed step-by-step instructions. • Quality control parameters and SOPs. • Shelf life extension strategies. • Packaging and storage recommendations. • Complete nutritional Information table. • The scale conversion table facilitates you to scale the formulation to any batch size. Step 5: Delivery You get everything in an easy to follow format and ready to test formula including small scale recipe, measurements, step by step instructions to test the product. We are open to send physical samples through international courier under certain conditions. Step 6: Feedback & Optimization ProFoodFormulations offer a complimentary revision cycle after your internal testing, working closely with your feedback to ensure the final product aligns perfectly with your vision.

You’re probably here because something isn’t working the way you expected. Maybe your product feels confusing, users are dropping off during onboarding, or important features are being overlooked. Maybe your website looks good but isn’t generating enquiries or explaining your value clearly. These aren’t just design problems. They’re user experience problems. That’s where I can help. ----- I’m a UI/UX Designer, Product Designer, and Framer Website Designer with experience designing SaaS products, data heavy dashboards, web applications, mobile apps, responsive websites, and landing pages that are simple to use and built around real business goals. I’ve had the opportunity to work with startups and global brands including Pizza Hut Japan, Novo Nordisk, Toggl, Cloud Query, 11X, Nested, Paved, Snoozer, Setvi, and DataToBiz, helping teams simplify complex products, improve user journeys, and create websites that communicate clearly and convert better. One thing clients often tell me is that I don’t start with Figma. I start by understanding the business, the users, and the problem we’re trying to solve. ⭐️ “Esha quickly understood our product, challenged assumptions we hadn’t questioned, and redesigned workflows that immediately made the platform easier to use. She felt like an extension of our product team from day one.” ⭐️ Michael Carter | Product Manager My personalised process. ----- Whether I’m designing a SaaS platform or a marketing website, my process stays the same. Understand first. Design second. Every decision should have a reason behind it. Every screen should help users move forward with confidence. Good design isn’t about making things look beautiful. It’s about making them feel effortless. If you’re building or improving a product, I can help with UI/UX Design, Product Design, User Flows, Wireframes, Interactive Prototypes, Dashboard Design, Mobile App Design, UX Audits, Design Systems, and developer-ready Figma files. If you’re launching or redesigning a website, I can help with Website Design, Framer Website Design and Development, Landing Pages, Website Redesigns, Responsive Design, Figma to Framer, and conversion-focused user experiences that guide visitors toward the right action. ⭐️ “Our previous website looked modern but didn’t explain our product. Esha completely restructured the experience, improved the messaging, and gave us a website that finally reflected who we are. The entire process was thoughtful, organised, and enjoyable.” ⭐️ Sarah Mitchell | Founder Communication and collaboration are important. ----- I believe the best projects come from collaboration. You’ll always know what I’m working on, why I’m making a recommendation, and what happens next. I ask questions before making assumptions, communicate clearly throughout the project, and work closely with founders, product managers, developers, and marketing teams to make sure every design decision supports both the user and the business. If you’re looking for someone who combines UI/UX Design, Product Design, and Framer Website Design with strategic thinking, clear communication, and a genuine focus on solving problems rather than decorating screens, I’d love to learn more about your project. 👉 Send me a message or click Invite to Job, and let’s create an experience your users will enjoy and your business will benefit from.

How to Hire Top Product Developers

How to hire product developers

Whether you’re creating a physical or digital product, you need someone who can track and manage your product’s journey from conception to delivery. 

So how do you hire product developers? Here are some tips for finding top product developers on Upwork.

How to shortlist product development professionals

As you’re browsing available product development consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles using criteria such as:

  • Industry fit. You want a product developer who understands the nuances and technical challenges of developing a product for your industry. 
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., Lean Six Sigma certification for manufacturing a product).
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular product developer.

How to write an effective product development job post

With a clear picture of your ideal product developer in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project. 

An effective product development job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From requirements gathering to project management, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or project management tools, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

PRODUCT DEVELOPER FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is product development?

Product development is the process of moving a product from ideation to market release. 

Here’s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in product development professionals:

  • Product development 
  • Project management
  • Software development lifecycle for digital products
  • CAD (computer-aided design) for physical products
  • Industry-specific expertise (e.g., SolidWorks for developing an aerospace product)

Why hire product developers?

The trick to finding top product developers is to identify your needs. Is your goal to set up an Agile software development workflow at your business? Or do you need help with product data management for the design and development of a physical product? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life. 

How much does it cost to hire a product developer?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced product developer may command higher fees but also work faster, have more specialized areas of expertise, and deliver a higher-quality product.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their product development more competitively. 

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
