Current
Product Owner
Areeb Technology
- Directed product planning and commercial requirements for a regulated FinTech SaaS platform, unifying 2 legal and financial investment systems into one product across 6 delivery squads.
- Authored the BRDs and PRDs for approval chains, transaction flows, and pricing & operational dashboards, written to be handed to engineering without a meeting attached and to hold up under regulatory review.
- Cut rework by 30% by running Scrum and Nexus across the squads and carrying features through UAT and rollout rather than stopping at "dev complete".
