Product Manager focused on consumer growth. I use user research, experimentation, and behavioral data to find where products lose people, then ship fixes that stick. At Turnip, I led the end-to-end launch of the Reels feature, working with Design and Engineering from spec to release, ran A/B experiments on activation and engagement flows, and managed content strategy across a portfolio of creator accounts to drive follower and view growth. Outside my day job, I build and ship real products to sharpen my product instincts: • Ran a full product case study on Zepto's category-expansion problem. Built an AI discovery engine (Groq + FastAPI) that analyzed 500+ real app reviews, validated the findings against 5 live user interviews, and shipped a working MVP to production. • Studied why ChatGPT Voice adoption stalls at 10% among Indian college students. Ran surveys and interviews, benchmarked ChatGPT against Gemini, Claude, and Copilot on trust barriers like editability and Hinglish support, and designed the fix. • Built "SubTrack," an AI-themed subscription spend tracker: scoped the "subscription creep" problem, then shipped a working app with a spend dashboard, renewal alerts, and a "cost-per-use" insight to surface low-value subscriptions — built end-to-end on Lovable AI. • Built an AI-powered restaurant recommendation engine using Groq and FastAPI. UC San Diego PM Certificate. NextLeap PM Fellow.
