Contracting as an AI/Data Product Manager, translating GenAI capability into workflows that survive pharma-grade compliance review — where "move fast" has to coexist with "prove it's safe."
$ cat about.md
The short version
I'm a product person who builds. Not in the "I can read a Figma file" sense — I ship. My side project, jobfinder-v3, is a FastAPI + Claude API app with a Playwright scraper that hunts down roles matching my own criteria, running live on Render. I built it because the tool I wanted didn't exist, which is also how most of my product decisions get made.
Professionally, that same instinct has played out at very different scales: co-founding an IoT analytics startup in India, running multi-tenant data platforms inside a Fortune 20 healthcare company, and now shipping GenAI product inside one of the most regulated industries there is — pharma. The common thread is stakeholder trust: getting compliance, engineering, and leadership to agree on what "done" means.

Things I've shipped myself
jobfinder-v3
FastAPI · Claude API · Playwright · Render
A personal AI job-matching app: it scrapes listings, scores them against my own criteria using the Claude API, and surfaces the ones worth my time. Built solo, deployed, and still running.
Thermelgy
IoT · Edge Devices · BI Dashboards
Energy-as-a-service platform for HVAC operators — edge devices feed a BI layer that lets facilities teams monitor and remotely control equipment, driving direct and indirect energy savings.
CloudPulze
GCP · Kubernetes Engine
A cloud cost-optimization tool for GCP that automatically starts and stops instances and Kubernetes workloads to cut spend without manual babysitting.

The part that doesn't fit on a résumé
Beatboxer, 9 years
I've performed for corporate events and kids' shows in front of crowds north of 3,000. It's taught me more about reading a room and holding attention than any stakeholder workshop — turns out both jobs are about rhythm, timing, and knowing when to drop out and let someone else carry the beat.
South Indian home cook
I cook the real stuff — the kind with a spice sequence that matters. Cooking and product management share a discipline: both punish shortcuts and reward getting the fundamentals right before you improvise.
I'm also a sustainable-living advocate — small habits, compounding effects. Same philosophy I bring to product: the unglamorous, consistent work is usually what actually moves the metric.

Open to Product & Program Manager roles
Series B–D health-tech, insurtech, and enterprise AI — if you're building something that needs a PM who can both align a room full of stakeholders and read your codebase, let's talk.
