Hey, I'm Shireen.
I build products that help people — from SimCity for real streets to AI-powered tools that solve everyday problems.
About Me
Product leader with a passion for building things that matter.
Who I Am
I'm a product leader and builder with 24 years in the tech industry. I started my career as a software engineer before shifting to product management, where I've spent the past 17 years crafting products that genuinely help people.
Teaching
Early in my career, I taught computer science at Harvard Summer School, Cambridge College, and Putian University in China — an experience that deepened my commitment to making technology accessible and empowering.
Experience
I've built tools for B2B SaaS companies across mission-driven spaces: Climate Tech at Remix (I built SimCity for real — urban street design software) and Aurora Solar (solar design software), Education Tech at Learning Objects (competency-based learning grounded in learning science research), Health & Wellness Tech, and most recently leading Reporting at Square with the purpose of economic empowerment.
