A bit about me

I have spent 8+ years across product and engineering, most of it inside large, regulated enterprises.

Where it started

I joined JP Morgan Chase in 2018 as a software engineer. I built Java services for trade processing and helped move old C++ systems to a modern Java architecture.

In 2021 I moved to the product side of a data platform. I spent those years replacing batch exports with stream-based delivery and getting five engineering pods to agree on how new data should come in.

Moving into AI

From 2023 I was a technical product manager. I owned the roadmap for a trade-processing platform, and I shipped machine learning products: predictive anomaly detection and a self-service LLM assistant for analysts.

In June 2026 I joined Ford’s AI Advancement Center as a senior product manager. I work on document intelligence, an audit system where a person always signs off, and a retrieval platform for teams outside engineering.

What I pay attention to

I trained as an engineer, so I stay close to evals and retrieval quality. The question I keep coming back to is simpler, though: does the person using it trust it enough to use it again tomorrow?

Outside the day job

At JP Morgan Chase I founded the Bengaluru product management community events, ProdCon and Prodathon, and coached four associate PMs. I also wrote a newsletter on the technology behind investment banking.

This site is where I keep writing. The product lessons come from the work, and the late-night builds are what I make outside it.
