At Opex Consulting, I served as a member of the Product Team, leading the development of a part of the EdTech platform called OpexA, designed to empower individuals transitioning into tech or growing within their tech careers. The core mission of the platform is to identify users’ skill gaps and offer tailored learning solutions through courses, mentorship, and job-matching opportunities.

I collaborated with stakeholders to define the Minimum Viable Product (MVP), structured the product roadmap, and set clear milestones to ensure value delivery at every stage.

3. Cross-functional Collaboration:

I worked closely with developers, designers, and marketers in agile sprints to deliver core features like:

• Skill Level Assessment (SLA) engine – an intelligent system that identifies users’ current capabilities and learning needs.

• Job onboarding modules tailored to users’ progress and job-readiness.

• Personalized course recommendations and learning dashboards.

*Job-matching features connect users with relevant entry-level and upskilling opportunities.

3. Agile Product Management:

I facilitated daily stand-ups, sprint planning, backlog grooming, and retrospectives, ensuring a high level of transparency and accountability across the team.
