Profile

Senior Product Manager and AI Builder. Nearly 5 years at Kahoot's Language Drops owning the full product development lifecycle across onboarding, communication, growth, monetisation, and core learning domains. I design and build complex agentic systems, products, and the workflows that put them to work. A decade as a working developer before product gives me the technical depth to architect what I ship. 15+ years total across B2B and consumer subscription products reaching millions of users. Built the internal AI agent the team uses to query every product-strategy data source, sparked the team's adoption of AI through demos that led to the CTO's Claude Code rollout, and solo-shipped StillMind, a production iOS/Android meditation app, end-to-end. Drawn to products that help people become who they want to be: learning, behaviour change, creative agency.

Experience: Permanent Roles

Language Drops (Kahoot! Group)Aug 2021 – Present

Senior Product Manager · Nov 2022 – Present

Product Manager · Nov 2021 – Nov 2022 (promoted after 3 months)

Product Owner · Aug 2021 – Nov 2021 (joining role)

Own the full product development lifecycle (discovery, strategy, roadmap, delivery, and post-launch iteration) for a global language-learning app reaching millions of users, alongside the Head of Product, CTO, and a squad of 3 front-end engineers, 1 back-end engineer, 2 QAs, and a designer. Have led onboarding, communication, growth, monetisation, and core learning domains over my tenure. Promoted twice within the first 15 months.

• Built an internal AI agent that connects every product-strategy data source: custom skills and MCP integrations across Jira, Confluence, GrowthBook, RevenueCat, and Amplitude. The team uses it to analyse experiments, query feedback corpora, converse with personas, and pressure-test roadmaps. Automated Slack jobs layered on top: daily review-volume monitoring with anomaly alerts, weekly user-feedback themes, weekly competitor briefings.
• Sparked the team's adoption of AI through demos that led to the CTO's Claude Code rollout across engineering and product. Shipped the first production code by a non-engineer on the team, and helped establish AI-assisted prototyping as part of the product workflow.
• Conceptualised and led Drops' first major user-facing AI feature: personalised learning content packs generated from user prompts, combining OpenAI text generation with ElevenLabs narration. Proved feasibility at an internal hackathon, then drove the project as a growth initiative.
• Reversed declining revenue in a single quarter by bringing monetisation strategy in-house, then sustained 3+ years of double-digit ARPU growth through segmented pricing by platform and geography, and continuous optimisation.
• Owned the onboarding funnel for nearly 5 years: the product's primary activation lever, iterated continuously through experiments and step-level optimisation.
• Established the experimentation culture that ran 35 A/B tests over 12 months at a 65% win rate.
• Launched a new linear learning mode replacing the underperforming "Netflix wall" navigation, a high-risk pivot that lifted activation, revenue, and engagement across every key metric, including +16.3% purchase conversion rate.
• Redesigned the core spaced-repetition review algorithm by redefining the underlying logic. Drove +15.6% engagement and +10% D30 retention with zero UI changes.
• Ran a controlled, staged experiment to test a fundamentally different monetisation model. Built validation gates and revenue-risk mitigations so the business could explore the upside without exposing existing revenue.
• Owned the user-communications domain (push, email, in-app), including the platform migration: vendor selection, integration, and cutover end-to-end without disrupting active campaigns or transactional flows.
• Mentored PMs and helped grow the team: contributed to hiring decisions across PMs, product designers, and copywriters. Built lasting product discipline through prioritisation frameworks, decision playbooks, and documentation that continued driving results after my direct involvement.

Contract Product Developer · Self-EmployedApr 2019 – Aug 2021

Partnered with founders of early-stage startups and digital businesses on product and engineering. Rapid diagnosis and high-stakes optimisation work.

• Rescued the failed redesign of allcarleasing.co.uk after a previous agency destroyed conversion rates: diagnosed root causes, restored performance within a week without reverting the design, then systematically optimised signup and enquiry funnels to exceed the original baseline.
• Launched MVPs for multiple founders, taking early-stage vision to scalable production web apps end-to-end (architecture, build, deploy).

Technical Director · The Constant MediaNov 2017 – Apr 2019

Set technical strategy and delivery for a product studio's client portfolio. Senior leadership team member alongside the founders, bridging client vision and execution and leading the development team end-to-end.

• Launched Whisky Me's V1 from concept to market, defining the architecture and delivery roadmap that enabled their growing subscription business.
• Turned around an underperforming development team as their direct manager. Established a delivery culture rooted in accountability, pace, and trust, and rebuilt confidence across the leadership group and client base.
• Shaped client strategy at leadership level, balancing commercial objectives with technical feasibility across multiple concurrent product builds.

Early Career · Web Developer → Technical Lead2009 – 2016

Click Consult · CTI Digital · The Constant Media · Edge Hill University. Led delivery for international e-commerce brands and civic-tech startups (incl. election tools for UK startups). First leadership experience here: ran a small team of junior developers, owned their client and internal relationships so they could focus on shipping, and mentored across Magento, Laravel, and modern frontend frameworks.

Experience: Independent Ventures

StillMind · AI-guided meditation app · iOS + Google Play2025 – Present

Designed, built, and launched solo using AI-assisted development. Native mobile app, marketing website, content architecture, and growth systems.

• Agentic ASO toolkit built to drive my own ASO strategy across the App Store and Google Play. Proposes keyword and listing changes against performance signals, with me in the loop on every decision. 3× ranked keywords and 2× more high-traffic keywords ranking in the top 50 on a young app still building reputation.
• Apple Search Ads automation: a separate agentic system that automates negative-keyword management across the store and paid ads, running autonomously within constraints I set and flagging anything ambiguous for input. Closes the feedback loop between organic ASO and paid acquisition.
• Programmatic SEO strategy for the marketing site targeting long-tail meditation and journaling queries. Took domain rating from 0 to 20 in 8 weeks, now sustaining +25% MoM growth on clicks and impressions for 6 months and still climbing.
• Live: getstillmind.com · App Store · Google Play

Co-Founder & Head of Product · Polkadot Tiger · SEO Experimentation PlatformFeb 2019 – Dec 2021

Co-founded and shipped one of the first production SEO A/B testing platforms, enabling enterprises to run controlled experiments on organic traffic at scale.

• Designed and built the full experimentation framework (statistical testing engine, traffic-splitting infrastructure, and analytics pipeline), translating a hard measurement problem into a usable enterprise product.
• Owned product strategy, technical architecture, and go-to-market end-to-end in a bootstrapped environment, leading a fully remote engineering team. Secured enterprise clients including Greenpeace and leading UK SEO agencies.

OTP SimplePay Payment Gateway2018 – 2022

Built and maintained the market-leading payment gateway plugins for Hungary's largest bank (WordPress, Magento, others), serving hundreds of merchants. Held #1 Google rankings on key commercial terms for years until sunset after Stripe's market entry.

Habit Cycles · habitcycles.com2026

Structured habit system built on habit groups and 30-day cycles as an alternative to streak-based tracking. Early-stage passion project.

Claude Colony · Multi-agent orchestration experiment2025

Inspired by an internal Anthropic multi-agent feature I'd heard about. Composes agents with distinct roles into orchestrated pipelines. Dated now that subagent patterns are mainstream, but I built it early. github.com/MakingJamie/claude-colony
