I'm Derrick, a Senior Product Manager working across finance, technology, design, and AI. I spend my time building products and learning how to make them clearer, simpler, and more useful over time.
Alongside that, I built a consumer health brand focused on better breathing and sleep. It was a side project that started from personal curiosity and became a way to apply product thinking end to end, from positioning and design to growth.
I'm also documenting what I've learned from product into educational content for aspiring PMs, with a focus on what the role actually looks like today and how it's evolving alongside AI.
TLDR: I like to build.
