About Me

I’m a Product Manager working at the intersection of technology, user needs and business strategy.
Over the past several years, I’ve worked across digital products, fintech, cybersecurity, emerging technologies and learning.
What connects these experiences is a simple question:
How do we turn complex technology into something people can actually use, value and trust?

Today, my product work is focused on cybersecurity, including EDR products, where I work across product priorities, user needs and cross-functional technical teams.
Previously, I worked on digital banking products, including Mellat NeoBank, and spent several years leading education and development initiatives around emerging technologies through the ITU and IoT Academy ecosystem.
These experiences have given me a perspective that goes beyond product delivery. I’m interested in the full chain from problem discovery and product strategy to execution, adoption and continuous learning.
I’ve also designed and coordinated 100+ technology-focused training programs in international and domestic contexts, working with professionals and organizations around topics such as IoT, Industry 4.0, digital transformation and emerging technologies.

My approach to product management is grounded in four principles:

• Start with the problem, not the feature.
• Connect product decisions to measurable outcomes.
• Bring business, technology and user perspectives into the same conversation.
• Treat learning and iteration as part of the product process—not something that happens afterward.

I’m particularly interested in Product Strategy, AI-enabled products, fintech, digital transformation and the evolving relationship between technology and human learning.
