About

Sharon Praise-Akpunne

Senior product manager with a CS degree and a habit of building things myself. 5+ years shipping products across fintech, developer platforms, and enterprise tech.

I've launched financial products that smashed targets, built transaction infrastructure from scratch, and grown communities from 0 to 80K+ users. I write code when I need to, design systems when there aren't any, and care about outcomes more than process.

Currently pursuing PMPĀ® certification. I build what's missing, ship what matters, and move on to the next problem.

5+ Years in Product
6 Products Shipped
80K+ Users Grown
40+ Partners Acquired
3X Adoption Increase
4M+ Content Impressions
