Technical product management for teams that can't afford to get it wrong.

I help companies ship digital products — from AI and Web3 to SaaS and beyond — from first prototype to production, without the usual chaos of scattered requirements and missed handoffs.

// about

Process, not luck.

I'm Sylvia, a Technical Product & Project Manager with a track record of taking products from idea to shipped feature across AI, Web3, HealthTech, FinTech, and SaaS.

Over 6 years leading product and project delivery — running product at Medbook Kenya, leading projects at Ngeni Labs (East Africa's largest Web3 studio), and delivering Agile projects at BLES Software and PPP Industry.

Most product failures aren't technical, they're process failures. Unclear requirements, missed handoffs, features nobody asked for. My job is to make sure that doesn't happen on your project.

// services

Six ways I plug in.

/03

User Journey Mapping

End-to-end mapping of how real users move through your product, grounded in behavior.

/04

01

Mediwrite

Technical Product & Project ManagerFinTech / InsurTech

Oversaw development of a cloud-based underwriting engine built for insurers, automating risk profiling, policy management, and quote generation end to end. The platform replaced manual, spreadsheet-driven underwriting with a structured digital process, cutting turnaround time on policy quotes and reducing manual error. Delivered the full product documentation set and supported rollout and onboarding across client partners post-launch.

02

AphiaOne (Medbook Kenya)

Product Manager, QA & TestingHealthTech

Managed improvements to a Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) spanning patient workflows, billing, inventory, and lab modules across multiple facilities in Kenya. Owned the QA process for each release, running structured test cycles before rollout, and led user training with both the engineering team and hospital staff to drive adoption. Worked directly with clinical teams to translate real hospital workflows into system requirements.

03

ResearchCollab

Product Manager (AI)SaaS / AI

Built an AI-powered research platform designed to take a researcher from a raw topic to a finished, cited draft in one connected workflow. Owned the roadmap and defined the AI integrations layer: multi-model AI chat (GPT, Claude, Gemini from one interface), AI cross-validation for fact-checking model outputs, a discovery engine for surfacing research topics, and a citation-backed writing workflow drawing on a 250-million-paper academic database. Defined the UI/UX architecture end to end and ran the roadmap through launch, including go-to-market and lifecycle messaging.

04

EdgeCards

Technical Product ManagerFinTech

Delivered a fintech app linked directly with KCB Bank and M-Pesa, managing wallet top-ups, card issuance, peer-to-peer transfers, and secure transactions. Owned the API integration requirements connecting the app to banking rails, and planned the roadmap for upcoming budgeting and goal-based saving modules.

05

SoccerNet

Technical Product ManagerSaaS / Sports Tech

Led product delivery on a youth soccer team management platform covering the full operational lifecycle for clubs: parent and player registration, team and roster management, tryout scheduling and payments, secure online payment processing for fees and donations, player performance tracking, and volunteer coordination. Defined requirements across five distinct user roles, each with different permissions and workflows, and drove the shift from a standalone club tool toward multi-tenant SaaS with per-club environments and subscription tiers.

06

Breach Monitoring & Alerting Platform

Technical Project ManagerCybersecurity / SaaS

Delivered a real-time dark-web breach alerting platform serving both SMEs and law enforcement agencies. Owned the requirements for platform architecture, UI dashboards, and the alerting/notification logic that flags a breach the moment it's detected. Coordinated directly with threat intelligence data sources to keep detection accurate and current, balancing real-time responsiveness against false-positive rates.

07

iMe Work — AI for Corporate Well Being

AI Product ManagerAI / HealthTech / HR-Tech

Authored the complete product requirements for an AI-powered corporate wellness platform from the ground up. The platform pairs an AI coach (five distinct motivational personas, from "Tough Love Motivator" to "Holistic Healer") with personalized health recommendations generated from calendar availability, connected health-app data (Apple Health, Google Fit, Samsung Health), and a 25-question onboarding questionnaire. Designed the full gamification layer — points, streaks, weekly AI-generated challenges, levels — alongside an HR dashboard with burnout risk detection, anonymized employee feedback, and GDPR/CSRD-compliant reporting. 78 user stories end to end, plus system requirements (SSO, calendar API integration, AI audit logging) and non-functional requirements.

08

AfCEN — Africa Climate & Energy Nexus

AI Product Manager, QA & TestingAI / Climate-Tech / FinTech (Impact Investment)

Africa's AI-powered intelligence layer connecting climate and energy infrastructure projects, data, and capital, for Bayes Consulting. The platform runs a multi-agent system spanning project prioritization, developer support, and investor matching, including two flagship agentic modules: an Interconnector Agent that proposes technically viable power-grid routing optimized for co-location with existing rail/highway corridors (cutting capex 15–30%) and sizes capacity around anchor loads like mines, ports, and SEZs; and a Corridor Development Agent that quantifies GDP/jobs/economic impact for proposed corridors, identifies bankable project nodes, and re-runs its analysis as financing or milestones change. The Project Developer module turns a plain-language project idea into a full investment-ready dataroom (concept note, pre-feasibility pack, financial model, ESIA draft, grant/investor matching), while the Investor module delivers curated, mandate-aligned pipelines with standardized due-diligence packs. Owned platform QA testing and authored the commercial rollout proposal for the Project Developer module.

Why clients keep coming back.

  • One accountable point of contact. You're not managing a committee.
  • Technical fluency without bottleneck. I speak engineering and design fluently.
  • Process that scales with you. What I set up in week one still works in month six.

▚ in their words
"Sylvia took a messy backlog, three time zones of engineers, and a client who kept changing their mind — and shipped on the original date. I've hired her on two projects since."
Daniel R. / Founder, FinTech startup
"The first PM we've worked with who actually understood our smart-contract constraints. Requirements were tight, handoffs were clean, and we shipped without the usual Web3 rework cycle."
Amara O. / CTO, Web3 studio
"She sat between our clinical team and the engineers and translated in both directions. Post-release defects dropped noticeably in the first quarter she was on it."
Priya M. / Head of Product, HealthTech
"Turned a vague pitch deck into a prototype we could put in front of investors in under three weeks. Zero drama, real product thinking."
Marcus L. / Solo founder, AI SaaS

Let's ship something worth shipping.
