About

I build things and I figure out what's worth building. For the past 2.5 years at Tata Elxsi, I've been a frontend engineer on paper. In practice, I've been doing a lot more than writing code. My most significant work was owning the ASD Care Platform end-to-end, a healthcare product for autism post-diagnosis care. There was no PM on this. I ran market research, defined three distinct user personas (caregivers, doctors, therapists), mapped user journeys, prioritised features, wrote user stories, and drove the product from concept to a 40+ screen pilot-ready prototype while also building it in React and GraphQL. The features weren't arbitrary. They came from understanding real user problems: families with no coordinated system after diagnosis, therapists with no visibility into home progress, doctors making decisions without structured data. Every feature , the gamified therapy engine, the AI nudging system, the social story generator, the unified dashboard was tied to a specific user need. I've also worked directly with US-based clients, handled Android version risk assessment, led data migration, and created documentation from scratch when what existed was inadequate. I'm not looking to stop thinking about users and go back to just shipping code. I want to be where product decisions are made and I want to make them well. Open to APM, PM, and Business Analyst roles across healthtech, SaaS, and product-first companies. Let's connect if you're building something worth figuring out.
