Justin Bondoc · Product Manager · Ontario, California
10+ years in B2B SaaS. I run discovery, design solutions, and work with engineers to launch products.
Product Manager. Designer. Leader.
I'm Justin, a full-stack product manager based in Ontario, California (not Canada). I started as a Sales Engineer, fell in love with improving UX, and moved into product. I've worn multiple hats: design, product, marketing, and sales.
I plan and prioritize work, design interfaces, record product videos, and write code to ship. That range lets me move fast and speak the language of every team in the room. AI has fundamentally changed how I work.
I'm restless to learn, whether it's using AI to prototype, picking up a new framework, or finding a new way to solve an old problem. Outside of work I enjoy running 🏃, reading 📘, and rock climbing.
Product and design work from discovery to launch.

Discovery, design, and shipping
I use these for product discovery, design, analytics, and building. From Figma and PostHog to Cursor and Nuxt, they keep me close to the work and able to ship quickly.
I use it for research, code, and prototyping.
I style frontend UIs with utility classes.
I code here daily and use it to prep for stakeholder meetings.
I track issues and ship in cycles here with the help-docs team.
I run sprints and backlogs where all software projects live.
I keep specs, runbooks, and decisions in one place.
I use it to manage feature requests and prioritize product-level work.
I measure product usage and analyze user behavior.
I use it to build this site and axure.com.
I record product demos and how-tos with smooth cursors.
I make short motion graphics and Loom-style intros.
I manage shared inboxes and keep customer comms in one place.
Used for all design related work: design systems, UI, icons, and graphics.
I use it for high-fidelity mockups and icon sets on Mac.
I build UIs and features with Vue and the ecosystem (Nuxt, Pinia).
I use it for writing, research, and reasoning on complex tasks.Research and AI
I keep a steady stream of product signals coming in and run a clear research loop.
Ongoing sources I watch
Review existing feedback
Pull together existing feedback, tickets and notes, then write down the main questions to answer.
Summarize patterns
Use Claude to summarize support tickets and CSM notes, group similar themes and draft a short problem statement in minutes instead of hours.
Talk with internal teammates
Meet with CSMs and other teammates to check assumptions and fill in gaps.
Prepare for conversations
Use Claude to help draft discussion guides, list likely questions and role-play answers so conversations stay focused.
Find customers to talk to
Work with CSMs and PostHog usage data to pick customers who match the problem area.
Write outreach messages
Use Claude to write short, clear outreach emails based on each customer’s actual product usage instead of a generic template.
Customer interviews
Run interviews to understand how customers see the problem and whether my framing makes sense.
Summarize interviews
Paste interview notes or transcripts into Claude to get a simple summary with key quotes, surprises and how the findings change the original idea.
First design ideas
Always come up with three different ways to approach the problem first, then turn the best direction into early concepts and rough flows.
Set up prototypes
Use Figma for quick wireframes, then use Cursor and the MCP server to spin up simple prototypes from those designs or short written descriptions so I can try ideas in code quickly.
Internal review
Share designs with CSMs and subject matter experts to check if they fit what we are hearing.
Stress-test the work
Ask Claude to list likely concerns and tough questions from a skeptical stakeholder so I can catch issues before a wider review.
Customer review
Show designs to customers and confirm the solution fits the problem we heard.
Fast changes between sessions
Use Claude to summarize feedback from each session and Cursor to make small product changes between calls so later customers see an improved version.
Not every project gets this full loop. For smaller initiatives, experiments, or tight timelines I might run a lighter version or skip steps. This is the playbook for when the stakes justify it.
