18+ years leading product across Fintech, Insurtech, and Healthcare IT. I don't just write specs — I build the tools to prove the thinking, from working prototypes to production-ready AI systems.
18 years turning ambiguous problems into shipped roadmaps — US Retirement fintech, insurtech, and healthcare IT.
I prototype with the same tools I'd ask an engineering team to use — LLM APIs, local models, agentic workflows — to validate product thinking fast.
Open to consulting engagements — product strategy, AI adoption, and hands-on build sprints for teams that need both judgment and execution.
Job seekers apply blind — no clear read on how well their profile actually matches a role before they spend the effort applying.
What I builtAn AI-powered job-fit analyzer that scores a candidate's fit against a job description and explains the gap in plain language. Built and deployed solo, DPDP 2023 compliant by design.
Wanted to understand agentic tooling from the inside — not as a slide, but as a working system — and compare local model tradeoffs firsthand.
What I builtConnected two local Ollama models (qwen2.5:7b, llama3.2:3b) into Claude Desktop via custom FastMCP scripts, running fully local at zero API cost.
Indian farmers often lack fast, affordable access to crop disease diagnosis — delays cost yield.
What I'm buildingA bilingual (English/Hindi) web app — farmers upload a crop photo and get plain-language, actionable advice. Stateless architecture, DPDP-compliant by design, mobile-first.
Leading product strategy while building AI-first tooling to validate decisions hands-on rather than in slides alone.
Deep dive into AI tooling, local model deployment, and agentic workflows — the foundation for everything built since.
Owned product decisions end to end across delivery cycles.
Progressed through three roles over a decade, including client-facing work with MetLife and Allied Life, in US Retirement fintech.
Where it started — foundational years in retirement benefits analysis.
Open to full-time product leadership roles, and to advisory or build-sprint engagements for teams navigating AI-first product work.
