I'm a Product Manager in Melb, AUS. I specialise in growth and product strategy.
• Worth It. I built a web app powered by UP Bank's API that aims to spark spending behavioural change by displaying the impacts of an upcoming purchase on your savings goal before it occurs, and in more engaging ways.
• Joey, a virtual healthcare provider with my sister, Dr Lucy Nijam. We're exploring redesigning the GP consult and delivering 75% of it with software to improve patient outcomes whilst reducing costs by up to 60%.
• Growth and Retention. I've started the Reforge Growth Series in Oct 2021.
• Software Engineering. I've completed the Le Wagon full stack bootcamp and now further developing projects from the course whilst learning React and spending time in Webflow.
• Learning Ludovico Einaudi's 'Nuvole Bianche'.
• Playing 'Rocket League' on PS4 against Reggie, my 6yr old nephew in Ballarat.
• Listening to Kiasmos, Nils Frahm, and DJ Shaista playlists.
• Reading 'Lives of the Stoics: The Art of Living from Zeno to Marcus Aurelius' by Ryan Holiday.
• Playing a solo piano recital of 7-8 tracks for friends &family in December 2021, maybe some tracks from this Nils Frahm album.
• Clocking a 1km run in < 3mins.
• Clocking a 2km run in < 6mins.
Areas I'm currently digging into
I've been looking into healthcare for 2+ years now and it's some of the most fulfilling work I've done. There's so much opportunity here, I'm surrounded by great people with verifiable knowledge, and there's something special about having a clear line between the work you're doing and in a way, potentially saving lives.
Being able to understand code to rapidly build, launch, test and communicate products yourself is a necessity as a modern product manager, I believe.
I've completed a full-stack software engineer bootcamp in a bid to be better at both product management and going from zero to one faster.
If you're doing the same thing, HMU.
If you know me, you know I'm glass half-full. This goes for how I think about tech's role in the future, too. There's so much good to be done when it's in the right hands and I think my hands (and the hands of those around me) could be some of those.

Probably the biggest crowd-pleaser. It's long, it's fun, regularly updated, and made for the best kind of partying. Apparently great to work out to, too.
Day party rules? Less heaving bangers, more disco, and lyrics where possible.
What I work to most often.
Rule #1 for focus? No vocals, just a wall of instruments between you and everything else.
You're turn to play office DJ? Say no more.
For obvious occasions. Not too sleepy, not too up & about, but enough on it to turn dinner into drinks.
What should you order for the table first? I think this.
This is my favourite music, the best I've been able to find that I listen to over and over and over. Too much in fact.
I love a good banger, but it's definitely an acquired taste.
And here's a list of the rest.
I always work to music.
1. Here's 'Day Party', probably the biggest crowd-pleaser. It's long, it's fun, regularly updated, and made for the best kind of partying. Apparently great to work out to, too.
Day party rules? Less heaving bangers, more disco, and lyrics where possible.
2. Here's a playlist, 'Focus Uno', that's mostly classical. Here's 'Focus Dos' that's got more minimal techno. Rule #1 for focus? No vocals, just a wall of instruments between you and everything else.
3. Here's 'Dinner Party' for obvious occasions- not too sleepy, not to up and about. What should you order for the table first? This.
4. Here's 'The Radar'. It's mostly bangers but, like, cultured bangers... Tbh, I listen to it a lot. Too much in fact. I love a good banger, but it's definitely an acquired taste.
5. Here's a list of the rest.
It's Lazerpig. They regularly received recs on Cream and I've never had an average slice there. I'd link you to their profile but we turned the app off.
You judge a pub on its Parma, a hotel on its Club Sandwich, and a pizza joint on its Margherita. LP's is muy bueno. Outside of that, carnivores should definitely get the 'Italian Stallion' or 'Ronnie J'.
PS. They've the best gluten-free pizza base in Melb.
Probably a Product Manager at a consumer-facing company in healthcare, space exploration, or search.
'Nothing motivates like a deadline.'
And asking myself, "How do you know you're not wrong."
