## Headline

Ex\-BCG x IIT Madras Data Science \| Product Management \| AI/ML products at fintech serving Tier 1 US banks

## About

I build AI/ML products that help financial institutions make faster, better decisions\. My journey has been anything but linear\. I started in Naval Architecture at IIT Madras before pivoting to machine learning and switching into Data Science for my master's\. Along the way, I spent a semester at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden, worked in strategy consulting at BCG, and eventually found myself drawn to product because it sits at the intersection of technology, business, and people\. Today, I'm a Associate Product Manager at Corridor Platforms, a decision\-intelligence fintech founded by ex\-AmEx executives\. Some highlights from the past year: \- Scoped 8 PRDs, with 4 shipped to production \- Led 10\+ releases across engineering, QA, and design \- Won our company hackathon by building a Claude Code plugin and an MCP server for credit policy optimization One thing I've become convinced of is that product managers shouldn't just write about AI, they should build with it\. Right now, I'm spending most of my time learning about LLM products, AI evaluations, and agentic workflows\. My goal is to build AI products at consumer scale whether that's fintech, marketplaces, or entirely new experiences powered by generative AI\. If you're working on something interesting in that space, I'd love to connect\. Feel free to email me at rinklesebastian12@gmail\.com\.
