About

As a Product Manager at Turtlemint with over 5+ of total experience, I focus on leveraging product design, context engineering, and large language models (LLMs) to create impactful solutions within the insurance domain. My work has included leading initiatives to enhance insurance advisors' efficiency, from developing payout frameworks to building scalable learning platforms and automating policy operations. Previously, as an AI Researcher at American Express, I contributed to the development of a transformer-based NLP model for merchant classification, improving its accuracy significantly. My experience reflects a commitment to blending innovative technologies with practical applications to solve real-world challenges.
