Senior Product Manager | Platform Governance & AI Systems | RAG, Multi-Agent, LLM Guardrails | B2B SaaS

About

Senior PM with 10 years across engineering and product, including 6+ years building the governance and operational infrastructure that B2B SaaS platforms scale on. At Builder.ai, I owned the Expert Journey platform across its full lifecycle: expert allocation, vendor onboarding, financial controls, and delivery governance. That work delivered $6M in annual vendor cost reduction, 47% fewer allocation errors, and re-engineered a $36M invoice reconciliation workflow across 3 global entities. I managed 1 direct report and mentored 3-4 PMs, and defined OKRs with the VP of Product with 90%+ quarterly attainment. Most recently, I led 0-to-1 MVP delivery for a conversational AI platform at Eshal.ai, shipping RAG-based knowledge infrastructure and a configurable AI guardrails layer across 4 industry presets (GDPR, HIPAA, MENA, FSI) that contributed to ISO 27001 certification and UAE PDPL and GDPR compliance. Earlier at Walmart, I launched a reconciliation MVP processing 15M+ invoices across the US, Japan, and India. My engineering background at Infosys gives me the technical foundation to work credibly with engineering teams on complex platform and AI infrastructure problems. I target Senior PM and AI PM roles where platform governance, operational scale, and AI systems are central.
