Senior Product Owner

I build mobile and platform products that solve real problems. 

Over 12 years I've shipped across iOS, Android, and web in complex, regulated environments, from enterprise mobile to multi-market platform migrations and B2B SaaS integrations. 

What I am good at: finding the risks and real pain points before they become expensive, then building something that works and keeping it simple. A few examples, an enterprise Android app I owned for years, a platform migration across two countries, and a booking funnel I reworked under a legal deadline without breaking what already worked. 

I am looking for a full-time role where I can own a product end-to-end and shape how it feels to use.
