Product Manager | Behavioral Systems, Growth, and Gamification Design

Most products struggling with growth have a systems problem. That happens when the business, market, and user experience layers operate disconnected from each other. I build systems that fix that by aligning: 🎯 How you acquire users 🎯 What they experience inside the product 🎯 How that value turns into revenue and retention So growth stops being random and starts becoming engineered and repeatable. 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐬: 🎯 Defined commercial viability across 25+ early-stage startups through GTM execution 🎯 Increased course completion by 60% with behavioral loops to move users through the value ladder 🎯 Reduced churn by 45% by restructuring retention systems to improve subscription revenue 🎯 Made $6k in sales from 3 tests before bulding my product across 6 countries with $150 in ad spend 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐃𝐨: I’ve worked across the full product lifecycle: from discovering demand, to scaling engagement, to fixing growth leakage, to strengthening business systems. That means: ⚙️ Aligning market positioning, product experience, and business model to reinforce each other ⚙️ Coordinating teams and stakeholders towards one concrete product outcome ⚙️ Diagnosing where growth is breaking down ⚙️ Designing revenue and retention systems ⚙️ Improving positioning and acquisition ⚙️ Building engagement loops and behavioral systems ⚙️ Leverage agentic AI to enhance workflows 𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬 & 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬: 🛠 Tools I Use: Figma • Miro • Notion • ClickUp • Replit • Lovable • Claude Code • WordPress • Airtable • Make 📚 Frameworks I Apply: Octalysis Framework • Gamification Design • Hooked Model • Design Thinking • Hero’s Journey • Inbound Marketing 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐇𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐌𝐞: ✔️ I diagnose structural problems, not just surface symptoms ✔️ I connect market positioning, product experience, and business model into one system ✔️ I combine systems thinking with hands-on execution ✔️ Gamification and behavioral design specialist with documented results ✔️ Battle-tested across 25+ real products under real constraints 𝐋𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐓𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫: If your product isn't converting, retaining, or growing the way it should, the problem is almost always structural. I identify where the system is breaking and redesign it so growth becomes predictable. Let's talk.
