Beamdelta

2026 – Present

Independent Product Builder

- Turned an expert-dependent crypto project evaluation process into BeamDelta, an investment research and risk platform, evolving a BitBNS listing framework and its earlier platformization at Chaos Ground into an independent product with 31 metrics across 7 pillars for more consistent, explainable decisions. - Expanded BeamDelta from internal decision support into a public investment-research experience, adding market intelligence, comparison and discovery workflows to make project analysis more useful beyond the analyst workflow. - Applied AI-assisted product development to build and iterate the product, directing multiple AI tools through structured product specifications, phased planning, review loops and production validation rather than treating AI as a standalone feature.

ChaosGround

2024 – 2026

Lead Product Manager

- Led the turnaround of an acquired esports platform with limited documentation, lost historical data and no original internal engineering team; created structure around product scope, technical dependencies and delivery to help bring the platform to beta in 6 months. - Led a 17-person external engineering organization through major delivery blockers, shifting an hourly engagement to milestone-based delivery with clear acceptance criteria and dependencies; reduced cost burn 40%. - Cut esports-platform infrastructure spend by 93% ($3,500/month → $250/month) by aligning platform complexity with actual product scale and moving toward a simpler monolithic architecture while removing non-core functionality.

Onramp

2022 – 2024

Product Manager - API & Platform (Spinout company of Bitbns)

- Reduced B2B integration time by 81% (21 days → 4 days) by treating developer experience as part of the API product—improving documentation, standardized errors, SDKs, examples and integration feedback loops instead of rebuilding working infrastructure. - Identified integration friction as the binding product constraint through 100+ client conversations, funnel evidence and transaction failures, then aligned CEO, CTO, engineering and BD/sales over 2–3 months, around a new B2B product direction. - Turned recurring demand for white-label reconciliation into a scalable product capability, using customer value, revenue at stake, strategic relevance and generalizability to distinguish reusable platform investment from one-off client customizations.

2019 – 2024

Developer Relations / Business Development / Quant Development → Product-focused responsibilities

- Increased KYC onboarding conversion by 6× (5% → 30%) by redesigning verification around risk-tiered controls and workflow automation while retaining manual review for defined higher-risk cases. - Reduced manual KYC review workload 80% by automating routine verification and routing defined outliers to manual review, reducing operational friction without removing required controls. - Productized expert project evaluation into a repeatable risk-decision platform covering 7 categories and 31 signals, evaluating 80 projects and reducing analysis effort 80% (40 hours → 8 hours); enabled more consistent, explainable listing decisions and contributed to ~$2M in listing/business revenue.
