## Headline

AI PM Fellow @ NextLeap \| Growth PM @ Turnip \| Product Strategy \| Growth Experiments \| A/B Testing \| Product Analytics\| User Engagement

## About

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\.
