About

I build products that ship — not decks that sit in folders. Before graduating, I've shipped an AI-powered hiring system, set up a company-wide PMO from scratch, run financial MIS across PSU robotics projects, and worked directly with the CEO, CMO, and CTO on strategy, pricing, and product decisions — all at a deep-tech robotics startup. Here's the product I'm most proud of: At ERIC Robotics, manual resume screening was slow, inconsistent, and engineer-dependent. I wrote the full PRD, designed the system architecture, and built an AI screening tool integrated with Zoho Recruit — automated resume parsing, LLM-based scoring (0–100), Shortlist/Reject decisions, and ATS write-back. Non-technical HR users now run it independently. Screening effort dropped by 70–80%. That's the full product lifecycle: Problem → PRD → Build → Ship → Impact. Beyond product, I've operated across every function of the business: ▸ PMO — Interviewed every employee to map execution gaps. Designed sprint cycles, project tracking, and QoQ roadmaps adopted across 4 teams in 3 weeks. ▸ HRP Formula — Built custom engineer allocation model across project, task and subtask levels — adopted by Co-founders for all active projects within 2 weeks. ▸ Finance & MIS — Ran monthly MIS across PSU robotics projects (BOM, logistics, HRA); built OPEX model for Robotics-as-a-Service with QoQ/YoY variance analysis delivered directly to founders. ▸ Recruitment — Set up Zoho Recruit end-to-end with automated pipelines; conducted 50+ interviews; built structured evaluation scorecards from scratch. ▸ Strategy — Contributed to GTM frameworks, PMF analysis, pitch decks, and business plans for new venture evaluation. Outside ERIC: I ranked AIR 5 at Formula Bharat 2024 (EV category), placed 2nd nationally at the Ather Energy Pi-EV strategy competition, filed a patent (App. No. 202521093278), published Scopus-indexed research at two international conferences, and finished Top 10 among 925+ teams at Smart India Hackathon 2025. If you're building something hard and need someone who can think in frameworks and ship in reality — let's talk.
