Product management
I am deeply passionate about buiding scalable products that wow users at every stage of interaction.

Having made several, I feel comfortable making executive product decisions.

Although difficult to quantify, critical thinking, problem solving, rapid execution, and clear communication would be my top skills.
Specifically, I know how to:
  • Convert an idea into a real production ready product.
  • Iterate on the product, and user journeys based on data and feedback. Run experiments (A/B/C). Take risks.
  • Build roadmaps, define milestones for short, and long term goals of the product / team.
  • Bring consensus on top priorities between stakeholders. Keep everyone motivated.
  • Liaision with engineering, design, data, legal and marketing and every other team that must be involved for successful launch / release.
  • Predict costs, and forecast revenue and set price for a service while optimizing for revenue vs. growth.
Data & Analytics
I have designed and built metrics for Products ground up.
  • Designing metrics during development of product, logging and eventually pulling them for analysis.
  • Making sense of data, from gathering, cleaning, sampling and realizing metrics.
  • Tweaking and executing ML models (Colabs) and doing data manipulations; making sense of data using numpy and pandas.
  • Managing and liaisioning with engineers, and data scientists.
  • Excel, SQL, Dashboards, Dremel (Google).
  • Google Analytics.
Design & UX
  • Design afficionado with a neck for beauty, uniqueness and simplicity.
  • Design interfaces of products from scratch, pixel by pixel.
  • Power user of Figma.


Marketing
  • All things Video production / Content Creation.
  • All things SEO.
  • Running and Managing Ad campaigns (Adwords).
Tech Program Management
  • Break any big task or problem into smaller manageable chunks.
  • Execute, Manage Releases/Sprints, and Cross-Functional Dependencies.
  • Initiate, run and deliver company wide programs and see them to completion.
  • Issue Tracking tools like JIRA and Buganizer (Google).
  • Stakeholder management. Risk aversion and risk management.
Software Engineering
I am a full stack software engineer with an immense love for building stuff.

My best skills are my ability to learn fast, communicate effectively and set right priorities given the environment.
I like to think in terms of systems, and efficiency.

Code that I write just works.

The code that I empower my team to write is piece of art.
  • Convert an idea into a production grade useable product in Web, Android and iOS ecosystems.
  • Make technical decisions for example the Tech Stack, Code Management, Access set up. Perform Cost vs. Need Analysis and so on.
  • At some point I have written non-trivial code in following languages: Python, Node, Java (Android), Swift (iOS), Shell, Google Apps Scripts. Python, Node remain my favorite languages.
  • Setup and manage multiple environments. Dev Ops / CICD (GCP / Github Actions / Custom)
  • Managing all things Cloud Infrastructure (GCP): Billing, Security, Access and smooth roll overs.
  • Set expectations, cross functional alignment and unblocking engineering teams.
  • Planning and Strategy. OKRs, performance reviews. Building and Managing engineering teams.
Privacy, Security and Trust
I have extensive experience and foresight about things to consider while buiding products starting from the architectural stage.
  • Privacy and Security practices / policies in code, access permissions, and user data management from day one.
  • Ensuring products are spam, and abuse free through proactive and reactive (triggered) processes.
  • Finding the right Risk : Convenience / Speed balance.
  • Handle escalations, and postmortems.
Architecture and Deployment
I have spent significant time managing code, deployments and optimizing for cost / security in Cloud.
I have deployed dozens of websites, several apps and managed multiple projects on GCP.
  • Choosing the right services keeping cost, latency and availability in mind.
  • Deploying on Web, Play Store and App Store in all Environments securely.
  • Blazing fast dev velocity. Environment setups for internal testing and iterations.
  • Code reviews, access management, and integrations with 3rd party tools / services / payment providers.
HIRING & MANAGING
    I built and managed a product team at Milkie Way comprising dozen+ engineers, designers and biz ops. At Google I hired over 20+ FTEs from hundreds of interviews.
  • Writing job profiles, screening, interviewing and hiring candidates
  • Articulating team goals, managing expectations and unblocking team for maximum potential.
  • Planning, and balancing resources based on product roadmap.
  • Performance reviews, career development, and sharing guidance for maximum growth of individuals on the team.
