Technical Product Manager (Transitioning) | AI Product Management | 10+ Years BFSI Data Engineering | Bengaluru

About

I spent 10+ years turning raw data into decisions. Now I'm focused on deciding what gets built next. Most product managers come from design or business backgrounds. I come from the data layer and that fundamentally changes how I approach AI products. Over a decade in BFSI, I built data warehouses on Teradata and Redshift, designed ETL pipelines, and translated enterprise data into Tableau and Power BI dashboards that executives used to set budgets and priorities. I didn't just write SQL. I sat in the rooms where those numbers drove strategy. That's where I first understood what product thinking really is: start with the decision someone needs to make, then build backward. I'm now making a deliberate move into AI Product Management. Not because data wasn't enough but because I kept asking a question data alone couldn't answer: What should we build, and why? Today at Utilitarian Labs, I'm leading product discovery and roadmap definition for a plug-and-play analytics suite running user research, writing PRDs, prioritising using RICE, and designing reusable templates to cut client time-to-value from months to weeks. I've also shipped three independent product case studies: a reinvestment nudge PRD for a fintech platform (Stable Money), a personalised course recommendation spec for an EdTech product, and Worry Time an AI mental wellness Android app built on the Gemini API, scoped using CBT research. What I bring to Technical PM and AI PM roles: 10+ years of cross-functional collaboration across data, engineering, and business teams Deep understanding of data pipelines, model evaluation, and scale-related product constraints Hands-on with SQL, ETL, Redshift, Tableau, LLM applications, RAG, and prompt engineering Systems thinking that connects backend data decisions to user-facing product outcomes I document this transition publicly at @anguvasan on Instagram and YouTube, sharing what I'm learning and how a data engineer thinks about product differently. If you're building AI-native products in fintech or BFSI and need a Technical PM who can read a model eval as easily as a PRD, let's connect.
