## About

AVP, Product Management @ JPMorgan Chase \| Using AI to Re\-engineer Banking Operations for Speed & Scale I use AI to make banking run faster behind the scenes — building self\-service platforms and workflow systems that cut manual effort by 60–70% and speed up how quickly customers can get from application to account being opened\. At JPMorgan Chase, I lead AI\-driven initiatives that streamline backend release cycles and reduce operational friction\. I built a centralized, self\-service testing platform that generates standardized evidence for any service\-owning team — no manual back\-and\-forth required — cutting testing effort by 60–70%\. I also manage the aggregation platform that resolves and routes pended workflows in the account opening process, directly improving turnaround time for customers, even though my work sits upstream of what they see\. Before JPMorgan Chase, as Senior Manager – Business Analysis at Kotak Mahindra Bank, I owned product behavior definition and quality sign\-off for connected and neo\-banking platforms — managing agile delivery, the Azure board, sprint planning, and stakeholder demos\. A bit more about my journey: 10\+ years across retail, identity, and banking — including as a Business Analyst on MOSIP, a global digital identity project\. Speaker at Blockchain Summit 2019 on blockchain architecture and use cases\. MBA, Alliance University\. Certified in BPMN and Tableau Desktop\. Where I add value: AI\-driven process automation • Self\-service platform design • Test automation & QA • Workflow orchestration • Agile delivery • Stakeholder management • Third\-party integrations • Prototyping & wireframing Always keen to connect with people building smarter, faster, more human\-centered banking systems\.
