Senior Product Manager

About

I’m Nien—full-stack developer with 10 years of experience and 8 years in cloud ops. I founded Hearty Journal from 0 to 1: 300K users, 96% renewal rate, 4.9 ☆ App Store, Apple Editors’ Choice 2022. My experience spans the full product lifecycle—requirements, team collaboration, monetization, and international expansion.

I also bring hands-on cybersecurity experience: Web/API vulnerability governance and enterprise security tooling (EDR, DLP, ISO 27001 / 42001), balancing product growth with security.

Looking to bring this blend of product thinking and security to your team.
