Product Manager

I spot what others miss—and take agency to solve it.

I'm Alex, a product manager who gets hyperfocused on non-obvious details—observing where systems create friction, mentally simulating how choices cascade through products, and understanding which micro-decisions compound into adoption, satisfaction, or revenue.

How I work

I think in equations: if we build it this way → users behave like this → these metrics change.

I identify bottlenecks wherever they appear—whether it's lender configuration flows slowing implementation times, checkout UX details blocking conversion, freemium activation friction limiting user growth, or payment KYC complexity creating merchant drop-off. Once spotted, I take agency to solve it—building prototypes, securing funding, coordinating across teams, or learning what I need to move it forward. I don't wait when I can act.

I have technical depth (work in Python/JavaScript, understand React/mobile architecture, read JSON, reason about APIs and SDK design, understand cloud platforms) because understanding how things are built helps me know when I can solve something myself vs. when I need specialized help—but my focus is always on what drives outcomes.

Problem

Client implementations took months due to custom-build processes for each lender.

Spotted

Patterns across lender implementations - they all needed similar core capabilities but wanted different configurations.

What I did

Shaped configurable UI and rules engine allowing lenders to self-service customization. Led engineering teams building these internal apps. Defined workflows for users, permissions, and configurations.

Impact

Implementation time reduced from months to under 8 weeks. Platform expanded to support credit cards and collateralized lending.

Problem

Global checkout experience had friction points blocking conversion for millions of daily visitors.

Spotted

Small UX choices in checkout flow (inventory display, delivery option presentation) were creating drop-off.

What I did

Optimized checkout to show real-time inventory reservation and launched multi-tier delivery options across Americas markets.

Impact

$800K+ incremental annual revenue. Maintained 90% on-time delivery adherence across regions.

Problem

Delivery operations struggled with "On Time in Full" performance across regions.

Spotted

Bottlenecks in picking, dispatch, and delivery weren't visible - teams couldn't see where delays cascaded.

What I did

Designed operations dashboards showing real-time performance. Fixed multi-region time zone handling.

Impact

Improved delivery rates by making bottlenecks visible and actionable.

Problem

Small merchants in cash-dominated market needed digital payment solution without bureaucracy or complexity.

Spotted

KYC onboarding created too much friction - merchants dropped off before activation.

What I did

Designed mobile-first KYC flows balancing low friction with compliance. Shifted from contractors to in-house engineering for faster iteration.

Impact

Launched new payment business representing 10% of company revenue. Reduced launch cycles from years to sprints.

Where I Can Help You Win

I've built across fintech, e-commerce, and lending—from 0→1 payment platforms to global checkout systems serving millions. What drives me: identifying the leverage points that others overlook and executing on details that actually compound.

I thrive on products where small choices create competitive advantage—developer tools where integration experience drives adoption, PLG products where onboarding friction determines conversion, or platforms where UX details impact both sides of the marketplace.

I'm looking to serve companies building world-class products—especially where craft creates competitive advantage and details compound into outcomes.

Currently building tools and staying curious about what makes products win.
