Staff Product Manager @ Walmart Global Tech | AI/ML & GenAI Product | Built 3 live AI apps | Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) Specialist | FinTech, Payments & Growth

About

I'm an AI Product Manager who builds at two levels: enterprise AI/ML platforms that serve millions, and 0-to-1 GenAI products I design and ship myself. At Walmart Global Tech, I'm a Staff Product Manager owning the AI/ML, data and personalization platform behind Cashi — Walmart Mexico's digital bank serving 4M+ monthly active users and USD 1B+ in annual transaction volume. I partner daily with data science and ML engineering to run 10+ production models, built a first-party customer data platform with 500+ attributes per user, and shipped a GenAI RAG support assistant that deflects 35% of billing queries. Along the way I doubled Month-1 retention (21% → 47%) and launched an in-app bill payments product that scaled to USD 70M+ TPV. Before Walmart, I scaled one of India's largest consumer lending products at Bajaj Finance — growing monthly disbursals from Rs. 400 Cr to Rs. 1,000+ Cr and cutting credit-decision time from ~48 hours to under 1 hour with ML-based underwriting. Outside my day job, I build live AI products end-to-end: → BeNoticed.AI — an Answer Engine Optimization (AEO/GEO) platform that tracks how often brands get cited across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity, with share-of-voice and real-time AI-search analytics. → HireX — an LLM-powered interview platform with custom evaluation sets, scoring rubrics and calibration. → MapMyPlate — an AI nutrition app turning meal inputs into structured insights. This is also why I think and write about AEO. Search is shifting from Google to LLMs, and the brands that learn to get cited, recommended and ranked inside AI answers will own the next decade of organic growth. I don't just study it — I built a product to measure it. I share the playbook publicly because it's still being written. Core expertise: → AI/ML product: GenAI apps, LLM integration (GPT-4, Claude, Gemini), RAG, model evaluation & eval-set design, ML-driven personalisation → AEO / AI search: LLM visibility, citation engineering, share-of-model metrics, AEO frameworks → Growth & engagement: lifecycle optimisation, behavioral personalization, data-driven retention → Payments & credit: bill payments, lending platforms, 0-to-1 scale → Platforms & data: customer data platforms, experimentation, model governance AI-native toolkit: Lovable, Claude, Figma, Miro, Zapier, AI agents, Python. If you're a founder or PM navigating the shift from SEO to AI search — or building AI-native products — let's connect. I write about it regularly.
