Outsourcing user data as product strategy: A case study

I’m Asher, a Senior Product Manager who loves turning mess into clarity, whether that’s a broken search experience, a leaky growth funnel, or a clunky city system. I’ve worked across live music, fintech, and subscription platforms, focused on the parts of product that help users find value, not just stick around. I write about product thinking in real life: the kind shaped by constraints, tradeoffs, and people. Sometimes that spills into parenting, street design, or whatever system I’m currently trying to fix. 

Curious what I’ve built? Here’s a snapshot: 👉 https://rebrand.ly/asheratlas
