About

I explore tech, AI, and how they shape our behaviour: online and IRL. I blend my product management background with my love for sociology to explore how we can build tools that are human-centred, but still pragmatic enough to ship in the real world. And I help founders and PMs stay sane, launch faster, and generate revenue, without burning out. I’ve been in your shoes: leading 0-to-1 products, juggling tiny budgets, and playing every role from data analyst to interim dev lead. Because in early-stage startups, you do what it takes. I'd love to connect with you!

Common problem amongst technical founders

I ve been talking to more founders lately, and I keep seeing the same problem with some of them.

They want to launch their product, acquire users, and go to market, but they don t actually want to talk to customers. When they do, any criticism (e.g., Your pricing is too high ) leads to them shutting down or doubling down on building more products.

Learnings from launching on PH without stressing about it!

48 hours ago I launched on Product Hunt.

Here is what happened:

  1. I launched with zero stress.

  2. I didn't send a single DM for getting upvotes.

  3. I found a random Hunter with no followers.

  4. I wanted the whole process to be fully organic, to see how PH works.

  5. I got 85 signups to my app from the whole launch.

  6. I did not get featured on the main page.
