Experience
Soran AI
https://soran.aiAs the creator of Soran, I shaped the product vision and built the platform from the ground up. Brands connect their eCommerce store and ad accounts in a few clicks. Soran then tracks the full customer journey, shows true ROAS and new customer revenue, and sends better conversion data back to ad platforms so their campaigns optimize more effectively. A built-in AI assistant lets marketers ask questions about their business in plain language and get instant answers and charts.
I designed the product experience, the data pipeline, and the infrastructure behind it. The result is a fast, reliable platform that turns complex marketing data into clear decisions for growing eCommerce brands.
Fibank
