ABOUT ME: FROM FIELD ENGINEERING TO PRODUCT MANAGEMENT

Field-engineering rigor, product empathy, and practical execution.

I began my professional career as a Wireline Field Engineer at Schlumberger (SLB), working in offshore and onshore field operations where safety, precision, and clear decisions mattered every day.

That experience shaped how I approach product work: understand the system, reduce ambiguity, manage risk, and design user journeys that make complex workflows easier.

“I bring field-engineering rigor into product work: clear problem framing, careful risk thinking, and practical user journeys that reduce friction.”

I spent 5+ years at Hijra Group putting that philosophy to work inside a regulated bank — the record is below. Since July 2026 I've been upskilling hands-on with automation and AI-assisted development, starting with Iqro Land above.

HOW I WORK, END TO END

3 Operating Principles

I turn messy customer, business, and operational signals into focused product bets: clarifying the real problem, shaping practical scope with design and engineering, shipping fast, then learning from user behavior after launch.

PRINCIPLE 01

I start before the backlog does

I run discovery myself: customer conversations, market research, and the P&L projection. If I can't explain who pays and why it's worth building, it doesn't reach the backlog.

Discovery • Customer Interviews • P&L Projection
PRINCIPLE 02

I build alongside the team, not above it

Through delivery I give design feedback, write specs, and contribute directly — I design in Figma and I ship code. I'm fluent with AI agents such as Claude Code/Codex/Cursor and other automation tools.

Design Feedback • Figma • AI-Assisted Build
PRINCIPLE 03

Launch is the middle, not the end

I validate with real users before release, prepare go-to-market with the teams who will run it, then measure what actually happened after launch and act on it.

User Validation • Go-to-Market • Post-Launch Review
