Hey there! I'm Alin, a Senior Product Manager with over 14 years of experience diving into the worlds of fintech, media, and online communities. I'm all about crafting products that not only hit business goals but also put smiles on users' faces. There's nothing I love more than solving real problems with data-driven solutions and a dash of creativity.

My Professional Journey

My career's been a wild and rewarding ride. At JPMorgan Chase, I led the redesign of Chase.ca, boosting conversion rates by 5% and growing traffic by 11%—pretty cool to see those numbers climb! Over at PayBright, I focused on UI/UX tweaks that drove an 8% increase in conversions in just four months. Before that, I worked with PayPal, VerticalScope, and Bell Media, where I tackled everything from launching new platforms to boosting engagement by 35% on massive online forums. With a background in front-end development, I bring a tech-savvy edge to the table, making it easier to bridge the gap between ideas and execution.

Continuous Learning and Expertise

I'm a bit of a learning enthusiast—okay, maybe a lot! I've earned certifications in Product-Led Growth, Product Strategy, Product Analytics, and even AI in Product Management. These keep me sharp and ready to tackle the latest challenges in this fast-moving field. My expertise spans web strategy, Agile methodologies, and stakeholder collaboration, all fueled by a passion for making products that truly resonate with users.

Entrepreneurial Ventures

When I'm not knee-deep in product roadmaps, I'm tinkering with my own projects. I founded financefy.ca, a crypto news site powered by AI, and co-founded compusemble.com, a YouTube channel where we geek out over computer hardware (it's racked up 849K views!). These ventures let me flex my entrepreneurial muscles and explore my love for tech and innovation—plus, they're just plain fun.

Core Values

At the heart of everything I do are a few things I hold dear: putting customers first, always chasing new ideas, delivering results that matter, and doing it all with integrity and accountability. I believe in listening to users, sparking innovation, and building trust with every team I work with. It's how great products—and great teams—come to life.
