THE PRODUCT PROCESS

User Research

I start by gathering insights from stakeholders, internal teams, and users to understand pain points, define the problem clearly, and align on what needs to be solved.

I use tools like Claude Code to build production-aligned prototypes that speed up validation and can save developers significant implementation time.
