Product Manager & Builder

I build products that solve real problems

Product manager who ships software—from bioinformatics SaaS platforms managing petabytes of data to personal health tracking apps. I don't just define products; I build them. When there's a problem worth solving, I write the code myself.

Side Projects & Solutions

These projects showcase how I approach problems—from personal tools that fill real needs to enterprise solutions that drove millions in value.

Personal Health Event Logger

Progressive web app for logging health symptoms as they happen. Voice-enabled via Siri shortcuts, custom categories, and timeline visualization. Built to solve a real problem: capturing the context doctors need but we always forget.

Why I Built This

Dealing with health issues in my family, I realized critical context gets lost between symptoms and doctor visits. Qupi captures those moments when they happen, creating a health journal that's actually useful when you need it.
