Hey, I’m Detan 👋🏾

— someone who’s deeply curious about how things work and even more curious about how they can work better for people, for communities, and for the systems around us. I’m driven by the idea that thoughtful technological design and intentional human decisions can unlock meaningful change in the world.

I care about growth—not just in business, but in people. Whether it’s helping a child understand money through Kudi Cafe, guiding someone to their next product breakthrough, or learning something new myself, I find joy in the process of progress more than the destination.

I believe in showing up with intention, asking the hard questions, finding clarity in the chaos and having the courage to start, even before everything feels ready.

You’ll often find me objectively opining on things, building things that don’t exist yet, or pushing my body and mind on a squash court, at the gym, or in the quiet of my own kitchen. My faith anchors me, my curiosity moves me, and my passion for creating spaces where others can thrive keeps me going.

What I do

I bring your idea to life - without wasting your time or money

Do you have a business idea you’re excited about, but aren't sure if it’ll succeed? I can help you build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to test it with real users, fast. Together, we’ll validate the demand, get honest feedback, and refine your idea before you spend big. I’ll walk with you through every step so you can make smart, confident, data-driven decisions and be pitch-ready when it’s time to raise funds.

I turn your growth challenges into conversion wins

If you’re looking to boost conversions, attract more users, or increase engagement, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I work directly with product and business leaders like you to brainstorm bold ideas and turn them into real results. We’ll test, tweak, and grow without the guesswork.

I help you get unstuck in your product management career

Whether you’re aiming to break into Product Management or you’re already in the role but not sure what’s next, I’ve got you. I offer tailored coaching to help you build your roadmap, sharpen your skills, and confidently move forward. We’ll work on everything from resumes and interviews to real-world product thinking, so you’re not just hoping for that next move.
