Snapshot
Role: Product Owner (own product)
Timeline: Aug 2026 – ongoing
Team: me as Product Owner and designer, plus one developer
I treated my personal website as a product, not a page. I shipped a simple first version fast, then used a product vision, a PRD and a Figma prototype to build the version that shows my work to recruiters.

Context & Problem
LinkedIn and a CV show job titles and dates. They do not show how I think, work and make decisions. The first version of the site said "Product Owner" but gave no proof: there were no cases, and every menu led to "Coming soon". A recruiter read one sentence and had nowhere to go.
My Role
- Wrote the product vision: origin, problem, audience, value proposition and goals
- Wrote the PRD for v1, with scope, acceptance criteria and priorities
- Defined the brand: personality, tone of voice, colors, typography and logo
- Designed the prototype in Figma, for desktop and mobile
- Worked with the developer and reviewed the build against the design
Process
- v0 (Aug 2026). I wanted something live quickly. I generated a first model with AI from my specifications and published one page with my contact options and a link to my course.
- Baseline. I documented v0 after launch, to have something to compare the next versions with.
