From Idea to Launched Product — Without the Chaos You have an idea, a roadmap, or a team that's spinning its wheels. I'm the person who comes in, makes sense of it all, and ensures it ships. With 15+ years as a Product Manager and Operations Integrator, I lead distributed B2B and B2C teams through the full product lifecycle—from messy discovery to post-launch growth. I specialize in Agile, Scrum, and Roadmapping, ensuring alignment between engineering and stakeholders. I've seen what makes products succeed and what makes them stall. It almost always comes down to one thing: someone who takes real ownership and keeps everyone moving in the same direction. That's what I do. Technical & Operational Edge: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + Developer Background: Started as a software developer (Java, PHP, HTML, MySQL), so I speak the language of your engineers, not just your stakeholders. + Quality Assurance: I don't just sign off when QA is done. I personally review every deliverable to ensure nothing drifted from the PRD before it reaches you. + Global Reach: Fluent in English, Armenian, and Russian, making me a natural fit for international teams and companies building for European or CIS markets. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're ready to stop firefighting and start shipping, invite me to your job post or send a message to discuss your roadmap.

Most Product Managers just write requirements. I build the vision. Are you sitting on a great product idea or even a half-built solution but struggling to turn it into something real, structured, and ready for users? Do you feel overwhelmed trying to manage developers, define requirements, or figure out what to build next… and every “expert” gives you vague advice like “just launch faster” or “add more features”? You’re not alone and building a product shouldn’t feel like chaos. The good news? You can move fast, build smart, and bring your idea to market without burning time, money, or your sanity. How do I know? Because I’m a hands-on Technical Product Manager with a software engineering background, and for the past 7 years, I’ve helped founders, startups, and growing businesses turn raw ideas into products that customers actually want efficiently, strategically, and with clarity. What Happens When We Work Together Products start moving. Teams start aligning. Things that were “stuck” get unstuck. Here’s what clients usually experience: - Their messy ideas become clear roadmaps and prioritized backlogs. - Developers stop guessing, because every feature has specs, flows, and acceptance criteria. - MVPs get shipped faster, cleaner, and with fewer revisions. - They finally feel confident they’re building the right thing not just building something. And in many cases, growth follows naturally. Real Impact I’ve Delivered Just a few examples from my recent work: - Pricelisto: Helped grow traffic by 300%+ using structured Semantic SEO and product optimization. - Startup Founder: Built & launched a real estate marketplace MVP that secured $100K+ in incubator & accelerator funding. - MSME SaaS: Launched multiple white-label products used by hundreds of small businesses. - HR & AI Products: Transformed complex workflows into scalable, user-friendly software adopted across industries. Whether it’s SaaS, marketplaces, analytics platforms, e-commerce, HR systems, or AI-powered tools I’ve led products through concept → design → development → launch → iteration. What Makes Working With Me Different Most product managers stay high-level. Most engineers stay technical. I do both. I’m proactive, fast, technical, and deeply involved. I also build prototypes and MVPs using Replit, Lovable, Thunkable, and Rork helping ideas come to life quickly without waiting on full engineering cycles. How I Can Help You Right Now Depending on where you are in your product journey, I can: - Transform your idea into a clear product roadmap - Prioritize your backlog so developers know exactly what to build - Conduct market research and align features with real user needs - Build wireframes, flows, and MVPs - Define KPIs, analytics, and SEO foundations for growth - Oversee development and ensure every release is structured, tested, and aligned with your goals My goal is simple: Turn your idea into a real product that ships fast, scales well, and solves real problems. If you want a partner who’s technical, strategic, and gets things done… let’s talk. I’d love to understand your vision and show you how we can turn it into something real.

I bring a unique perspective to UX/UI design with a background in SaaS sales and technical recruiting, where I learned how people engage with technology and what drives decision-making. Now, as a UX/UI designer, I focus on creating intuitive, high-converting experiences that balance user needs with business goals. Whether it's refining user flows, improving onboarding, or designing sleek interfaces, my goal is to make digital products seamless and effective. I made the shift from SaaS sales and technical recruiting to UX/UI design after realizing that understanding people’s challenges and solving real problems was the most rewarding part of my work. That same user-first mindset now drives my approach to design. How I Can Help You: - UX/UI Design & Prototyping – I craft clean, user-friendly interfaces that enhance engagement and usability. - Heuristic Evaluations & UX Audits – I identify pain points in digital products and provide actionable recommendations. - Conversion-Focused Design – My background in sales and customer retention helps me create designs that don’t just look good but drive results. - Collaborative & Detail-Oriented – I work closely with developers, founders, and product teams to translate ideas into polished, functional experiences. I’ve worked on SaaS, fintech, health tech, and consumer apps, helping businesses create efficient, conversion-driven, and visually engaging products.

🎯 Focused on Outcomes (Not Just Ideas) I help AI & B2B SaaS teams go from “we have an idea” to shipped product with clear business impact. Instead of endless brainstorming, we’ll define the problem, pick the right bets, and ship iteratively while watching the numbers (activation, adoption, ARR, and costs). 🏆 How I Help (Expertise) 1. Strategic Planning & Execution Turn business goals into a focused product strategy and roadmap, with clear priorities and milestones. 2. Product Management & Agile Manage backlogs, write clear requirements/user stories, and run practical Agile so engineering always knows what “good” looks like. 3. Data-Driven Decision Making Use analytics, funnels, and experiments (A/B tests, cohorts, etc.) to decide what to build next and how to improve what’s live. 4. Problem-Solving & Ownership Take ambiguous problems, break them down, unblock teams, and own outcomes end-to-end instead of just “delivering tickets”. 5. Effective Requirement Gathering Bridge business, design, and engineering by translating messy stakeholder input into simple, buildable requirements and UX flows. 📈 Product Outcomes in Numbers • 78% increase in onboarding completion by reviewing analytics and running A/B tests on the onboarding flow. • 21% increase in ARR by introducing smart linkages between different products within a B2B organization. • $35.5B+ total addressable market identified by repositioning a solution to achieve product–market fit. • 7 product managers trained and mentored from diverse backgrounds (freshers, BAs, developers). • 57% improvement in project acceptance rate and 45% reduction in deliverable delays by clarifying expectations and mitigating unknowns. 💼 Types of Products I’ve Worked On My experience ranges from B2C mobile apps to complex enterprise systems, including: • Social systems (e.g., dating / matching apps) • Construction & field management (e.g., pipeline tracking, inventory, mobile field tools) • Legal tech and AI products (e.g., extracting/structuring data from documents) Across all of these, the common thread is: data-heavy workflows, multiple stakeholders, and a need for clear product thinking. 🔧 Tools & Ways of Working Proficient in Agile & Kanban, using tools like: • Asana, Jira, Confluence, Productboard for product planning & delivery • Wireframing and prototyping tools for fast alignment on UX and workflows • Analytics and experimentation to make sure decisions are based on real user behaviour If you have an AI or B2B SaaS product and a specific metric you want to move (activation, MAU, ARR, or costs), send me a short note. I’ll reply with 1–2 concrete ways I can help.
