About Me

Where AI meets product thinking

Final-year B.Sc. CS with AI student at MAHER, Chennai — building toward AI Product Management, where technical depth meets product strategy.

I've built AI, taught people, handled real rooms, and asked the kind of questions that go beyond code. I think in PRDs, care deeply about why a product exists — not just how it's built.

Currently interning in AI/ML and Data Science, and learning everything there is to know about building great products.

PRD Writing

Thinking in product, before building the product

Mosaic — PRD V1.0

Collaborative Team Experience Platform

  • Defined the problem space across 4 user types — PM, BA, Designer, and Developer — each facing a different version of the same gap: real cross-functional project experience before graduating
  • Built a complete persona set including Sanjay (Aspiring BA), Naveen (Entry-Level Developer), and Priya (Career Switcher to Cloud Architecture), each grounded in real frustrations and motivations
  • Structured the entire V1 around one success metric: one successful cross-functional project (ReBloom), proving the model before scaling the platform
