Product Manager · Builder — Bengaluru, India

I build products people actually use — through research, experiments, design, plain judgment, and yes, AI.

Three products built and shipped solo, plus written case studies across social, commerce, luxury, and platforms.

Background

I came into product from technical delivery — SAP consulting, then running a project when the lead seat opened up. I learned to own the gap between what's promised and what ships.

Products

Three deployed products, built solo end to end, plus written studies on products I didn't build. Consumer, commerce, and a luxury service.

Principles

Judgment under uncertainty: knowing what to verify, when to abstain, and what not to build. I write down why I built what I built.

How I work across the whole job

No one project shows every part of the job. Together, these cover research, strategy, design, execution, and growth.

70% Week 1 Retention (n=10) · Zero Uninstalls

FitCheck

ProblemIndian fashion e-commerce runs on returns, and size is the reason — the chart that would prevent the wrong buy is on the page, but nobody reads it at checkout.
DecisionBuild an ease-based verdict engine — comparing the ease a cut was designed for against the ease you'd actually get — with no LLM, because sizing is arithmetic against a published chart.
Evidence10 installs, 70% returned in week one (n=10), zero uninstalls; abstains in five defined cases rather than ship a wrong verdict.
OutcomeCaught a real sizing error that had already cost a return; a deterministic tool a user can verify against the retailer's own chart.

⚡ FitCheck Sidepanel (v0.7.0) MYNTRA · AJIO · H&M
Body Measurement: 34 in Retailer Size Chart:
Core Product Concept:
1. DOM Extractors: Content scripts inspect hydration stores on Myntra (`window.__myntra_app`), AJIO (`__PRELOADED_STATE__`), and H&M (`__NEXT_DATA__`).
2. Ease Math (No LLM): Compares body measurements against garment dimensions: 2" ease = slim, 8" ease = oversized.
3. Order History Audit: Reads `size=` params from order-history URLs to confirm if math matches past purchase choices.
PM Guardrails & Principles:
No AI Guesses: Fits are calculated with exact math (`lib/fit-math.ts`). AI isn't used because a 1cm hallucination causes an expensive return.
100% Privacy: Operates entirely inside Chrome (`chrome.storage.local`). Zero network telemetry.
Abstain Safety: Refuses to recommend if size chart data is missing or incomplete, rather than showing a wrong guess.

130+ Logged Decisions · Zero Number Hallucinations

Savio

ProblemSalaried Indians have apps that track where money went, and almost nothing that answers "can I afford this, right now, without breaking something I've committed to?"
DecisionCompute every number in code and let the model write only the words; if any figure can't be verified against that computation, withhold the response rather than show it.
EvidenceCaught the model fabricating a statistic in testing and removed it from the decision path entirely; ~130 logged product decisions, including the ones reversed.
OutcomeA deployed financial companion where a wrong number is withheld, not risked — trust by construction, not by disclaimer.

🛡️ Savio Trust Gate (Priya Sharma) SEED: ₹98k NET INC
Monthly Surplus: ₹12,000 Impulse Threshold: ₹3,000
Core Product Concept:
1. Book-Ending Moments: Intervene during monthly rituals and windfall deposits, not aggressive checkout popups.
2. Strict Separation of Concerns: Code calculates surplus, emergency funds, and commitments; LLM only formats human explanation.
3. Named Rule Engine: Decisions cite user-configured rules by name (e.g. "Over your impulse-wait threshold of ₹3,000").
PM Guardrails & Trust:
Trust Over Convenience: In personal finance, a wrong number destroys trust. If LLM text contradicts code math, output is suppressed.
Buffer Protection: Automatically flags purchases that breach emergency funds or monthly budgets (Green = Safe, Yellow = Buffer Drawdown, Red = Unsafe).

13-Step Pipeline · RICE Ranked Digests

Amazon Discovery Intelligence

ProblemPMs drown in review volume; the cost of skimming is invisible — you never learn what you missed.
DecisionA thirteen-step pipeline where the model runs at exactly three steps and every number a PM sees comes from deterministic code, gated by a readiness check.
EvidenceEvery digest claim cites the review behind it; unverified claims render with a visible chip; drop-accounting reports what was discarded and why.
OutcomeA month of reviews becomes a RICE-ranked, evidence-gated digest a PM can act on — with the discards shown, not hidden.

2. Sample/Live Toggle: A first-class switch scopes the product so curated testing data and live reviews never blend.
3. RICE & MoSCoW Scoring: Code evaluates `(Reach x Impact x Confidence x Version) / (Effort x Trend)`.

No AI Subjectivity: Gemini clusters text, but math calculates priority scores to prevent hallucinated rankings.
Discard Transparency: Drop-accounting reports exactly how many reviews were filtered out and why.
Footnote Citations: RAG Chat answers cite exact review IDs as clickable footnotes.

Reddit Reddit: a waypoint, not a destination

Problem~62% of Reddit's arrivals land on a single thread from Google, read, and leave — the activation surface is the thread page, not the homepage they never see.

YouTube YouTube's Shadow R&D Lab: How Modded Apps Shape Strategy

ProblemAnalytics only show what users do inside your app's rules — they miss what power users want badly enough to install third-party mods to fix.
DecisionRead community mods as a free R&D lab, then filter each signal through a three-sided market (viewers, creators, advertisers) to adopt, re-architect, or suppress.
EvidenceSponsor-skipping mods re-built into AI "Jump Ahead" heatmaps (saving creator revenue); playback controls moved to Premium; Shorts toggle suppressed to protect reach.
OutcomeA clear strategy for turning power-user workarounds into roadmap calls — without destroying the business model that pays creators.

Evaluated Power-User Signal:
3-Step Feature Evaluation Process for PMs:
1. Separate Problem from Solution: Look past the hack to find the core desire (e.g., skip sponsor $\rightarrow$ eliminate pacing delays).
2. Stress-Test the Ecosystem: Check impact across Viewers (utility), Creators (reach & revenue), and Business (ad economics).
3. Choose Strategic Route: Adopt directly if low risk, redesign via AI if high risk but high value, or suppress if in conflict with platform moats.
Summary Insights for Interviews:
Invisible Signal: Standard analytics miss unmet demand because product rules block the behavior from happening.
Free R&D: Modded apps test power-user features at zero financial risk to the platform.
Ecosystem Balance: Good PMs don't just copy user hacks; they redesign solutions to keep the marketplace sustainable.

Technical Project Manager
2022 – 2025
Enterprise SAP delivery · stakeholder-facing

Delivered enterprise technical work in a high-stakes environment, then stepped into project management when a leadership gap opened mid-project. Both roles map closely to product work: translating ambiguous requirements into scoped deliverables, managing demanding stakeholders across time zones, coordinating cross-functional technical teams, and owning the distance between what was promised and what actually shipped.
