About

Product Manager building enterprise-scale platforms that automate workflows, manage files securely, and connect complex systems through APIs — currently at HashedIn by Deloitte, operating across a global professional services organization. Over 4+ years in product, led 5+ cross-functional Agile teams (40+ contributors across Engineering, QA, UX, and DevOps) through 6 enterprise releases that improved operational efficiency by ~25%. Scaled a file management platform with access control and governance, improving document retrieval by ~30%. Led development of a GenAI-powered DevOps automation plugin — shipping 5 AI-enabled capabilities (CI/CD pipeline migration, Terraform automation) that accelerated deployment workflows by ~20%. Before product, spent 3 years as a software developer at TCS — building enterprise applications for US BFSI clients and designing ATM accessibility features for visually impaired users. That engineering foundation shapes the approach to platform architecture, API design, and technical trade-offs. MBA from IIM Visakhapatnam ('22). B.Tech in Electronics & Communication Engineering. Certified A-CSM, CSM, and PSPO I. Currently interested in how product-led growth and experimentation intersect with platform thinking — how the systems built to serve enterprises can be designed to acquire, activate, and retain users on their own.
