## Work experience

Product Manager at Sonatype, Jan 2026 \- Present · 9 mo, Hyderabad, Telangana, India, Spearheaded the GTM change for Lifecycle product, Sonatype’s flagship revenue generator, for its 2027 move from license\-based to consumption/credits\-based: designed the Usage\-to\-Credit and Credit\-to\-Dollar frameworks, self\-serve credit management, consumption funnels and four\-tier \(Pro to Enterprise Plus\) feature gating, with credits mapped to core SCA features like vulnerability scanning and license compliance\. Intended to open mid\-market/SMB segments at GA\. ● Led product execution that brought this framework to life in the Nexus One UI refresh: building the designed funnels and tier\-based feature gating in\-product, embedding pay\-as\-you\-go purchasing, and architecting backward\-compatible migration for existing license customers\. In beta internally and with one customer design partner, with early results showing strong daily active usage and overage \(over\-consumption\) activity; GA pending\. ● Owned the strategic product initiative for Hosted Repository Scanning, extending Lifecycle’s vulnerability\-detection and license\-compliance policy engine to repositories hosted on Nexus Repository Manager and bringing previously unmonitored hosted components under scan coverage, closing a long\-standing feature gap against competing SCA vendors, a $25M opportunity gap, and cutting renewal churn \~13%\. Reworked the evaluation pipeline with engineering so results surface in Lifecycle, with proxy/group/hosted policy linkage scoped for the next release; groundwork for the 2027 Nexus One platform\. ● Delivered 25 cross\-product SCA enhancements covering 45% of the annual operating plan \(AOP\) budget for maintenance and incremental work, addressing a \~$5M opportunity and renewal gap\. ● Pioneered AI\-PDLC, a 5\-phase \(Define, Learn, Decide, Build, Validate\) AI\-augmented product development lifecycle, first applied to Lifecycle’s SKU and consumption work, then enabled across the product and engineering teams in India\. After full adoption, total output grew 158% from Q2 to Q3 2026 with output per person up 50%, and average output per recorded initiative across SCA now stands at 6\.3x its Q2 2025 level; three initiatives targeted for Q1 2027 landed by mid\-Q3 2026\. Also Product Owner and Scrum Master for India SCA\. ● Designed spec\-driven checks for AI\-agent output in AI\-PDLC, using BDD scenarios, implementation plans and Figma/front\-end branch context as the reference; the review caught an agent’s miss on a critical multi\-tenant audit\-logging scenario before development began\. \. ● \.Won Hackers’ Choice Award and a $2,500 cash prize at Sonatype Hackathon 2026 for an AI model vulnerability matrix, now planned for the 2027 roadmap; nominated AI Champion 2026 for driving AI adoption across product and engineering\.
