About

4 years across early-stage teams, working at the intersection of product, engineering and growth to build and scale 0→1 products. I started in engineering and moved into product, so I’m comfortable translating between users, business goals and technical teams. Key highlights in my journey: - First product hire at Vidrush AI: scaled weekly access 8× and supported 43% ARR growth in 4 months - Took an AI DevOps copilot from MVP to demo-ready in 4 months - Led cross-functional teams across 4 time zones - Shipped enterprise features contributing to 20 new B2B deals - Improved conversion, CTR, onboarding and drop-offs through analytics, experimentation and user feedback - Prototype hands-on with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and internal automations I’m most useful in small, high-ownership teams where I can stay close to both code and customers and help take products from 0→1 and 1→n. Based in India, open to relocation and remote teams across US and European time zones.
