Bash Qatan

Business Development Intern at eufyMake

I'm a product and growth specialist who genuinely loves the craft of building, from the first user interview to the moment something ships. I'm currently finishing my MS in Business Analytics at USC Marshall while leading Pulse AI as PM, an AI-powered event and dining concierge built with Lovable, Bolt.New, and live API integrations. It's my current proving ground for what modern, fast product development actually looks like. Before this, I spent years doing the work. I've led 20+ product launches, driven a 70% revenue uplift through GTM execution, and grown a DTC brand to a 20% year-over-year sales increase through discovery, testing, and iteration. I've run cross-functional sprints, improved customer conversion by 25%, and designed product concepts like an integrated booking flow for Google Maps, applying UX psychology and survey insights to eliminate friction and create new monetization opportunities. What drives me right now is the overlap between product thinking and modern tooling. I'm actively upskilling in automation (Make.com, API integrations), data analysis (SQL, Python), and AI-powered development, because it makes me a more useful collaborator and a faster builder. I want to understand the systems I'm designing around. I'm genuinely excited by what's possible right now, the tools, the speed, the problems worth solving. I want to keep building, keep learning, and work on things that actually matter to people.

I've helped build out product functions from scratch, transformed team ways of working, and grown revenue in complex, technical environments. I'm at my best when cutting through the noise and chaos to identify the right problem to solve, and then working hands-on with engineering and design to turn it into a real product. I use data, deep customer understanding, and rapid AI-assisted prototyping to get to the right product, faster. I care about building collaborative, high-performing teams as much as building great products, and I think you need one for the other! In every role I've held, improving how the team works has been almost as important to me as what we ship.
