💡Honey's passion for tech and her interest in exploring innovative features within the industry has been a driving force in her career. She discovered her love for product management when she realized her desire to contribute beyond coding behind a screen. She enjoys creating and managing high-quality products that satisfy users, which motivated her to become a self-taught Mobile Application Developer and eventually transitioned to Product Management.
