Own product strategy and roadmap for an AI-powered fund analytics platform used by institutional clients to evaluate and manage investments. Core of the product is a recommendation engine that scores funds and generates buy/hold/sell calls based on weighted financial and market signals, re-ranking continuously as new data comes in. Built a multi-agent pipeline that lets analysts ask questions in plain language and get answers pulled directly from the data, instead of running manual queries. Owned the prompt design and set up evaluation criteria to track accuracy and output quality over time. Rebuilt the data ingestion and reporting pipeline from the ground up — set data contracts and validation rules across multiple sources, cutting manual analysis effort by roughly 70% and improving accuracy by about 40%. Worked closely with engineering on API design and model integration decisions, bringing decision cycles down from weeks to days. Ran client discovery directly with institutional stakeholders and led ongoing A/B testing with clear hypotheses and success criteria for every feature shipped.

About

I build recommendation and ranking systems — turning signals into clear calls like buy/hold/sell. Currently leading an AI fund analytics platform; previously built AGDATA's recommendation engine (25% upsell lift, 50% retention lift). I've done this twice, in two different domains, but the underlying problem is the same: rank things fairly, be able to explain the ranking, and keep improving it as new data comes in. At AGDATA I combined generative AI with predictive models to build that engine. In the current role, the core system scores investment options and produces buy/hold/sell calls for institutional clients. In both cases, shipping the feature was never the finish line every feature goes through A/B tests with a hypothesis and kill criteria set before it goes live. The rest of my background is in regulated, high-stakes product work fintech at FIS, global corporate payments at American Express, healthcare data at Trajector. No ranking or personalization there, but the same discipline applies: turning messy regulatory or clinical requirements into specs that engineering and QA can build against, where a mistake isn't just a bad user experience, it's a compliance problem. Day to day, I work closely with engineering and data science on architecture and model decisions, own the roadmap end to end, and I'm hands-on enough with SQL and data pipelines to have a real conversation about tradeoffs. Open to Senior or Principal PM roles, and consulting work, across India and global remote teams.
