About

I build AI products that people trust with life-changing decisions. Most PMs write specs. I write specs and ship live demos. At CheQ, I lead Wisor—a GenAI Credit Advisor that's analyzed millions of transactions and helped thousands of users save ₹22,000+ annually through personalized credit card recommendations. But here's what I'm most proud of: 70%+ recommendation acceptance rate and 4.5+/5 trust score on financial decisions. Building trust in AI isn't about fancy models. It's about: Understanding what users actually need (not just what they ask for) Designing conversational flows that feel human, not robotic Reducing latency from 30s to <20s because every second erodes confidence Knowing when to connect users to human experts instead of forcing AI-only solutions I'm a PM who builds.

Before CheQ, I scaled Simpl's daily users from 3,500 to 14,000 while maintaining quality. I've built internal agent systems that automated hours of team work. I've created Claude Skills that write better PRDs than I could manually. Right now, I'm exploring how these patterns apply beyond fintech—particularly in healthcare where AI could have even greater human impact. What drives me: Building products where AI isn't just smart—it's trusted, remembered, and actually improves lives. Open to conversations about GenAI product development, conversational AI architecture, or how to make users actually want to come back to your AI product every day.
