0-to-1 Product Strategy for an AI Workflow Tool

Joined a founder pre-product with no users, no data, and no clear scope. Ran 20+ user discovery sessions over 3 weeks, identified the core jobs-to-be-done, and translated ambiguous founder vision into a prioritized 3-sprint roadmap. Set up Mixpanel from scratch to give the team its first data feedback loop.

WHAT IT TAUGHT ME

The most dangerous phase of any 0→1 product is when the founder is too close to the problem to see what users actually need. The discovery sprint isn't just research — it's alignment therapy.

WHAT IT TAUGHT ME

Compliance work is secretly product work. Every regulation is a constraint that shapes user behaviour. Understanding the rules deeply is what lets you design around them, not just comply with them.

WHAT IT TAUGHT ME

Research is only valuable when it changes a decision. I learned to structure every report around "so what?" — forcing a recommendation, not just a summary, out of every data set.

SaaS Merchant Onboarding — 30 Partners, Zero Playbook

Led implementation across 30+ restaurant partners with no existing onboarding playbook — wrote it as I went. Owned configuration, testing, and go-live end-to-end. Trained 20+ merchant teams and fed on-ground friction directly back to the product team to improve early adoption.

WHAT IT TAUGHT ME

The gap between what a product does and what users think it does is always bigger than the team expects. Onboarding isn't a support function — it's the last mile of product design.

Philosophy

How I work.

A few things that stay consistent regardless of the team, the stack, or the problem.

01

Problems before solutions

I spend the first 40% of any sprint understanding what's actually wrong before writing a single spec. The fastest way to build the wrong thing is a well-executed solution to the wrong problem.

02

Research as a foundation, not a phase

My background in market intelligence and user discovery isn't a checkbox — it's how I start every product conversation. I build around what users actually do, not what they say they want.

03

Data pipelines before dashboards

I've implemented Mixpanel and GA from zero. Clean instrumentation is the product — without it you're flying blind and calling it agile.

04

Small bets, fast reads

Every feature should have a falsifiable hypothesis and a metric that proves or kills it in 2–3 weeks. I don't believe in 6-month roadmaps that commit before learning anything real.

05

Engineering is a partner, not a vendor

The best feature ideas come from sprint reviews, not strategy decks. I share context generously, make trade-offs explicit, and never say "just make it work."

06

Bias toward shipping

Perfect is the enemy of learning. I'd rather ship a scoped v1 that teaches us something real than spend another sprint polishing a hypothesis that hasn't touched a real user yet.

I ask the uncomfortable question in discovery, write the PRD nobody argues with, and stay in the thread until it ships.

The gap between a great idea and a shipped feature is almost always a communication problem.
