Bio
My name is Eason Yang, and I am an experienced product and project management expert with a decade of experience in various industries, including Blockchain, FinTech, RegTech, and Industrial PC. From an early age, I have been fascinated by technology and its impact on our daily lives. This fascination drove me to pursue a career in technology, and I have never looked back since.
During my college years, I studied ways to promote human well-being and welfare by predicting risks and planning actions to improve the quality of life. When the AIoT (AI+IoT) and surveillance applications emerged, I seized the opportunity to join the industrial PC industry and focus on surveillance box PC and board systems in server, rolling stock, and in-vehicle applications.
To enhance my skills and make a greater impact, I proactively self-learned software project management skills (Scrum Master Accredited Certification) and programming languages (Python/Kotlin/Android), making me an HW/SW hybrid professional PM. I have a proven PM skillset in cross-functional communication, risk control, new project RFP/RFQ, and NPI, with solid achievements in crypto compliance Travel Rule solution Sygna. (holding a 70% market share in Japan)
One of my key strengths is my keen eye for detail and strategic thinking, always looking for ways to optimize processes and identify areas of improvement. This approach has helped me achieve great success in my career. Additionally, my excellent communication skills have enabled me to lead teams effectively and achieve roadmap and revenue goals.
To manage risks and troubleshoot issues, I adopt an OKR mindset, which involves setting clear objectives and key results that are measurable, actionable, and time-bound. This approach has helped me stay focused on achieving my goals and navigate complex projects successfully.
In addition to my extensive experience, I hold several relevant certifications, including Scrum Master Accredited Certification, CAA Drone Professional Operator Certificate, and Google Analytics Individual Qualification. These certifications have helped me stay up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies and remain competitive in the ever-evolving tech industry.
I am enthusiastic about applying my skills and experience to create products and projects that positively impact people's lives. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss my qualifications and experience with you further, and how I can contribute to your team. Thank you for considering my application.
