# About Me ![[shayon-pal.jpeg]] Hi, I'm Shayon, a Senior Product Leader passionate about creating meaningful solutions and adapting to new challenges. My journey began in India, where growing up in different cities shaped my understanding of diverse perspectives and helped me develop adaptability and resilience. These experiences, along with studying in ten schools and learning five languages, have greatly influenced both my personal and professional outlook. Since [[My Experience Moving to Toronto|moving to Toronto]], Canada, in 2020, I've been immersed in the city's thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem. I enjoy contributing my skills to innovative projects and collaborating with others to drive growth and deliver impactful solutions. Professionally, I've had the privilege of working across industries like e-commerce, digital publishing, SaaS, sports, and food delivery. My roles have ranged from technology journalist and digital marketer to product strategist and manager. Each step in my career has equipped me with problem-solving, strategic thinking, and communication skills that help me adapt to various challenges. In 2023, I founded [AgileCode Studio](https://agilecode.studio/), a digital solutions company based in Toronto. We offer services in product consultation, web and mobile app development, UX design, marketing automation, and brand management. AgileCode Studio allows me to channel my expertise into solving real-world problems through thoughtful digital solutions. Alongside my main work, I also provide **[[Buy Automation Service|personal automation services]]** for individuals and small businesses. If you're looking to automate repetitive tasks, streamline your Apple devices, or connect tools like Obsidian, Hazel, Todoist, or smart home systems, I can build custom solutions tailored for you.   Outside work, I'm a tech enthusiast and productivity nerd. You can check out my [[Uses|complete setup and tools]] to see what keeps me productive. I'm a lifelong learner and avid reader of non-fiction. Travel has been another passion, exposing me to diverse cultures and ideas that inspire my approach to work and life. In my free time, I love experimenting in the kitchen, creating unique dishes, and exploring the intersection of creativity and flavor. I aim to live with intention, focusing on experiences that foster growth and sustainability. Whether it's making a perfect cup of coffee, cooking a hearty meal, or getting lost in a story-driven video game, I find joy in the small moments that make life meaningful. # My Latest Writings ## Automations 1.
