Back to School season is Brainly’s peak revenue window in the US, critical for annual subscription targets and user growth milestones.

End-to-End SaaS Product Management for B2B and Government Clients
The Cloud Group — Product Manager
The Cloud Group delivered SaaS solutions to medium and large private companies and public sector organizations. Products often required tailored development, strict compliance, and high client-facing coordination to meet complex operational needs.

- Acted as direct point of contact for high-profile clients, including Royal Emirates Group, TVE (Spanish Public Television), and Fundación Botín.
- Built and led the internal technical and operational team (hiring, training, upskilling) to ensure delivery excellence.
- Developed modular SaaS solutions tailored to specific client workflows, balancing scalability with customization.
- Established standardized processes for client onboarding, feedback cycles, and agile iteration.

Redesign of the User Ban Experience for Fairness and Trust
Brainly — Product Manager
Brainly’s automated moderation and ban systems were functionally effective but often perceived by users as opaque, arbitrary, or unfair — undermining platform trust and increasing support ticket volume.
Users who were banned (often for violating content or behavior policies) received minimal context or guidance, resulting in confusion, frustration, and unnecessary churn.
The opportunity was to redesign the entire ban experience — from messaging to appeals — to increase clarity, reduce repeat violations, and preserve user trust even during enforcement.
- Audited the existing ban triggers, messaging flow, and user-facing touchpoints across platforms.
- Proposed and implemented a tiered penalty system with escalating consequences tied to user behavior history.
- Designed new UX patterns including clear messaging on cause, ban duration, and user recourse options.
- Integrated the system with Zendesk to generate automatic tickets for review, reducing response latency and support overhead.
- Added educational content and community guideline links to all ban-related communications.
- Aligned enforcement flows with user sentiment data and legal/privacy guidelines.
- Reduced repeat ban rates through clearer warnings and educational interventions.
- Improved user perception of fairness in platform enforcement — confirmed via support feedback and user interviews.
- Lowered support team workload by automating ban-related ticketing and triage.
- Strengthened Brainly’s moderation framework without alienating borderline users.
