About

I've spent the last 10+ years building enterprise software and AI-powered products that solve real business problems, from improving inventory recovery and pricing decisions to exploring autonomous software development. My career started in engineering and grew into product management, where I've led AI/ML initiatives across B2B SaaS, e-commerce, and enterprise platforms. More recently, my work at Caizin's AI Foundry has focused on AI-native software development, agentic workflows, context engineering, and LLM evaluation. I've worked on autonomous coding harnesses, specification-driven development, and enterprise knowledge systems, including experiments that reduced manual prompting and token usage by ~30% and improved knowledge-base answer accuracy from 57% to 75%. Before Caizin, I spent nearly a decade at Blubirch building products for inventory management, reverse logistics, marketplaces, and enterprise operations. Along the way, I helped scale the AI/ML team, worked with global enterprise customers, and led products generating $40M in GMV and $14M in revenue uplift. My work covered computer vision, predictive analytics, pricing optimization, and workflow automation. Over the years, I've learned to evaluate AI products through the outcomes they create for users. I pay close attention to model accuracy, data quality, response time, cost, and how people handle errors. These details shape my product decisions, from choosing an approach to deciding when a feature is ready to ship. What interests me most is finding practical ways to bring emerging AI capabilities into products. I enjoy understanding customer problems, working closely with engineers, testing ideas, and figuring out how to make AI systems more useful and reliable. Outside work, I've mentored 100+ students, helped create Coverify, a COVID relief initiative that reached 100K+ people, and contributed to technology publications including Express Computer. I'm always happy to connect with people working on AI Product Management, enterprise AI, agentic systems, and practical applications of emerging technology.

Technical Product Manager ( AI Foundry ) at Caizin, Nov 2025 - Present · 1 yr 1 mo, Pune District, Maharashtra, India, At Caizin's AI Foundry, my work focused on how AI can help engineering teams develop software more efficiently, from understanding requirements to generating code and evaluating the results. ◆ AI-Native SDLC & Agentic Engineering Shaped the AI-native SDLC strategy and prototyped an autonomous coding harness using headless agents and generator–evaluator loops, reducing manual prompting and token usage by ~30% in internal experiments. ◆ Product Specifications & Context Engineering Improved PRD quality and user-story breakdown using practices from BMAD, GitHub Spec Kit, and OpenSpec, with codebase MCP to identify missing requirements and generate targeted product and engineering questions. ◆ Enterprise Knowledge Systems Improved Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base answer accuracy from 57% to 75% by refining document chunking and search ranking, using expert-reviewed evaluations to measure progress. ◆ LLM Evaluation & Reliability Benchmarked six knowledge-search approaches, including Karpathy's LLM Wiki, using DeepEval to uncover weaknesses in the original tests and establish clearer criteria for accuracy, citations, response time, and cost.

Co-founder and Product Contributor at Coverify, Mar 2021 - May 2022 · 1 yr 3 mos, Remote, During India's second COVID-19 wave, I co-founded CoVerify, a civic tech platform built to address a critical information gap. We helped patients and families find verified leads for oxygen cylinders, ICU beds, and plasma donors when reliable information was difficult to access. I led product design and backend automation, working with volunteers to collect, verify, and update thousands of critical resources. Within 17 days of launch, CoVerify reached 170,000+ users across 12 Indian states. ◆ Reach & Community Impact Connected people with critical healthcare resources, with volunteers reporting 40+ lives directly helped. ◆ Product & Automation Reduced lead verification time from hours to minutes using automated status flags and real-time updates. ◆ Volunteer-Led Execution Worked with a network of 200+ volunteers to maintain and verify resource information during the pandemic.

Director Of Technology at Blubirch, Apr 2020 - Jun 2025 · 5 yrs 3 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, At Blubirch, I led technology and AI/ML initiatives across reverse logistics, inventory management, and enterprise commerce. My work covered product strategy, scaling technical teams, and bringing AI solutions into enterprise operations. ◆ AI Strategy, Scaling & Execution Scaled the AI and Data Science team from 5 to 20+, including senior managers, while leading product roadmaps across computer vision, predictive analytics, and enterprise automation. ◆ Computer Vision & Inventory Recovery Improved inventory recovery by 22% and reduced grading errors by 30% through AI-powered inspection, model validation, and human review. These workflows also helped recover $1.2M in asset value. ◆ Predictive Analytics & Pricing Optimization Developed an ML-driven markdown pricing solution using historical sales, demand elasticity, and inventory movement, identifying 8% potential revenue uplift through more informed pricing decisions. ◆ Generative AI & Enterprise Automation Introduced an Amazon Bedrock-powered assistant for service teams, reducing response times by 30%. Also improved enterprise AI adoption by 35% and reduced support tickets by 20% through reusable AI workflows. ◆ Operational AI & Document Automation Led AWS Rekognition-based OCR workflows processing 100K+ monthly transactions, improving invoice accuracy by 22% and reducing processing time by 37%.

Principal Product Manager at Blubirch, Mar 2018 - Mar 2020 · 2 yrs 1 mo, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, ◆ Product Strategy & 0-to-1 Development Launched 5+ SaaS products across inventory diagnostics, marketplaces, and enterprise applications, generating $14M in revenue uplift and 17% YoY growth. ◆ Global Marketplace & User Engagement Scaled b4traders.com to $40M GMV across India, UAE, and Chile through localized bidding, multilingual UX, and regional compliance, increasing bid depth 3×. ◆ Seller Platforms & Reconciliation Built an Amazon API-integrated seller reconciliation platform that automated transaction matching, fulfilment deductions, and payment discrepancies, reducing settlement cycles from 90 to 7 days. ◆ Cross-Functional Product Leadership Worked with 35+ colleagues across Product, Engineering, Design, and QA to plan roadmaps, prfioritize features, and deliver releases.
