Bio
I’m a product leader with 14+ years of experience designing and scaling digital products across Asia and Europe—spanning education, entertainment, marketplaces, and civic tech. I began my career as a UX designer, and that lens still shapes how I lead. For me, design was never about making things pretty—it was about solving the right problem, clearly and scalably. That instinct still guides my product thinking today. Over the years, I’ve evolved into a business-focused product strategist—one who understands how to align user needs with monetization models, growth targets, and sustainable system design. I’ve worked across early-stage experiments and mature marketplaces, building products that don’t just ship—but stick. Some things I’m proud of: 📚 Helping grow the world’s largest education marketplace at Keystone, where I led discovery, monetization, and ad infrastructure. 🎣 Launching “My Area” at Fishbrain—an interest-based feed that introduced monetization without hurting subscriptions, while also building the platform’s first recommendation engine. 📺 Bringing streaming to Bangladesh with Bioscope, which won national awards and was nominated at MWC for digital innovation. 🧬 Designing Bluebox, a biometric SIM verification tool used by over 450,000 retailers—powering mobile onboarding at scale. 📣 Creating the country’s first microblogging platform during the 2013 Shahbagh Movement—amplifying civic participation online. 💡 Winning a global innovation challenge with an AR-based learning tool for low-literacy retailers—built from scratch with one developer. Outside of work, I’m a Top 50 Product Mentor on ADPList, with 3,000+ minutes of mentoring logged, and I teach product management to over 4,500 students at Ostad.app. And when I’m not working on product strategy, you’ll find me playing the tabla or dreaming up side projects that blend tech, storytelling, and systems thinking. Let’s talk about building products that make business sense—and human sense!
