With over a decade of experience in the banking and financial domain, I specialize in delivering high-impact digital products that solve real business problems and improve customer experience. As a Product Manager, I bring a blend of strategic thinking, domain expertise, and hands-on agile delivery. My journey spans product visioning, backlog management, OKR tracking, and driving cross-functional alignment for scalable solutions in Lending, Credit Risk, Wealth, and Retail Banking. I've worked with major players like Wells Fargo, HSBC, and JP Morgan Chase, leading agile teams through transformation and delivery with a focus on value and compliance. More recently, I've taken on ownership of Intelligent Automation and AI initiatives within my organization, identifying opportunities, defining solution approaches, and coordinating delivery with engineering teams. This has included applying generative AI to modernize testing processes and leading platform initiatives that delivered meaningful cost efficiencies and consolidated legacy tooling. Whether it's reducing production incidents by 20%, improving release cycle times by 30%, or streamlining stakeholder communication, my focus is always on measurable results. I believe in leading with empathy, mentoring teams, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. Outside of work, I independently design AI systems, including an AI-powered analytics tool for Indian index options and an information-only crypto derivatives system built with human-in-the-loop guardrails by design. These projects let me go deep on prompt engineering, evaluation, and responsible AI architecture, hands-on. Certified in PSPO I and CSPO, with PMP in progress. I thrive in high-paced, regulated environments where clarity, speed, and adaptability are critical. My toolkit includes JIRA, Confluence, SQL, Selenium, and Power BI, each helping me bridge the gap between vision and execution. Looking ahead, I'm eager to contribute to innovative, AI-enabled banking products and collaborate with visionary teams that value agility, performance, and purpose.
During my tenure at TCS, I focused on delivering high-quality banking software through robust QA strategies. I developed and maintained automation scripts using Selenium, increasing QA efficiency by 25%. My testing ensured stability for compliance-critical apps, reducing production defects by 30%. Collaborating closely with analysts and developers, I contributed to comprehensive test planning and execution for AML and banking systems. My feedback loop on defects helped tighten the delivery cycle and improve release readiness, laying the foundation for my transition into product roles.
