I bring a wealth of experience as a proficient and highly skilled manager with an entrepreneurial mindset. I have successfully launched my own startup from scratch, despite lacking prior product experience. Throughout the journey, I demonstrated resilience and adaptability, undergoing several pivots to align with market dynamics.

One of my key accomplishments was assembling and leading a talented team, which involved conducting over 100 interviews to attract individuals who shared our vision. Together, we developed and iterated on a minimal viable product (MVP) while rigorously testing product hypotheses. This hands-on experience allowed me to gain deep insights into the challenges and intricacies of the product development lifecycle.

During the final pivot, our focus shifted towards the cryptocurrency and blockchain market. As part of this strategic shift, we prepared for our own initial coin offering (ICO) and successfully developed a comprehensive product that addressed key market demands. However, despite our best efforts, the project was impacted by the collapse of the cryptocurrency market, leading to the difficult decision to wind down operations.

This immersive experience not only enhanced my ability to make informed decisions in the face of uncertainty but also fostered a relentless pursuit of self-improvement and resilience in overcoming challenges throughout the process of building my own startup.

During this journey, I honed my skills in self-directed learning, continuously seeking new knowledge and acquiring relevant expertise to address emerging issues. The dynamic nature of the startup environment demanded quick thinking, adaptability, and the ability to proactively identify and solve problems. These experiences strengthened my problem-solving skills and equipped me with a strategic mindset to navigate complex situations.
I am looking for a position in a product company or a growth-stage startup where I can contribute to an interesting product. My expectations include opportunities for professional growth, engaging and challenging tasks, and a supportive and friendly team environment.
