I have experience in product analytics, sales strategy, project coordination, and early-stage product development. Throughout my internship and project work, I contributed to sales performance tracking, cross-sell strategies, customer-focused product positioning, and project documentation. Through startup and product initiatives, especially Hobio, I focus on understanding user needs, defining problems clearly, and contributing to better product experiences. I am familiar with core product metrics, A/B testing logic, Trello, and Agile/Scrum ways of working.
