Engineer-turned-PM. 13+ years in product, 7 of them at Meta. Indie product builder.
The combination I bring is rare: deep technical background, long PM career across multiple companies, hyperscaler experience at Meta, and now building open source apps. I've also navigated grad school in the US as an immigrant, raised kids through the most demanding years of my career, and worked hard at the unglamorous parts - managing burnout, protecting mental health, holding family and ambition in the same hand.
What I can help with:
• Engineering → PM transitions
• Studying in the US and choosing the right degree path
• Getting into FAANG, surviving FAANG, growing inside FAANG
• Reorgs, scope battles, job changes, promo cycles
• Mental health, burnout, and pace-setting in high-intensity orgs
• Working parenthood — the real version, not the LinkedIn version
• Leaving big tech to build something of your own
Honest, specific, lived advice.
