about.
I am a Computer Science student at IIIT Nagpur specializing in Human Computer Interaction (HCI). My background centers on bridging high-fidelity code construction with human-centered product strategy, RAG-backed systems, and stakeholder management.
I write specifications, manage development backlogs, conduct user research, and ship fullstack MVPs. Currently seeking opportunities in Product Management, AI-driven products, and Founder's Office roles.

product thinking.
Core mental models and execution approaches I bring to building software.
User Research
Conducting contextual interviews and mapping user journeys to translate raw qualitative pain points into clear PRD definitions.
Prioritization
Applying rigorous frameworks like RICE and MoSCoW to balance engineering complexity, customer value, and timeline goals.
Metrics & Analytics
Defining core North Star metrics and mapping secondary funnel triggers (AARRR) to measure success and drive product iteration.
Stakeholder Alignment
Translating needs between engineering, design, and operations to align teams around single roadmaps and remove blocker ambiguity.
AI Products
Designing product loops, RAG context templates, and prompt workflows that add utility and solve real problems.
Product Strategy
Conducting competitor deep-dives, specifying MVPs, and designing core feedback systems for compound organic growth.

A record of digital applications and operational systems designed from scratch.
SAKSHAM -- Internship Portal
- Identified fragmented internship workflows as the core user pain point → defined product requirements and designed a unified application and approval system → reduced coordination effort by 40% across all university channels.
- Mapped multi-role coordination challenges through user research → prioritized role-based access and structured workflows → enabled secure, scalable interactions across 4 distinct user roles (Student, Mentor, TPO, Employer).
- Diagnosed low opportunity-match relevance as a key drop-off driver → scoped and shipped an AI-powered FastAPI recommendation microservice → improved matching relevance and reduced search time by 35%.
Acadence -- Academic Platform
- Identified fragmented academic resources as the primary barrier to student productivity → defined MVP scope covering notes, PYQs, announcements, and collaboration → improved resource accessibility and visibility.
- Synthesized student feedback revealing inefficient workflows → prioritized and shipped query systems (Query Desk), study groups, and discussion spaces → increased collaboration efficiency by 45%.
- Mapped multi-role access as a trust requirement → designed role-based access control for 4 key user roles (Students, Academic Reps, Faculty, Admins) → enabled secure resource approval pipelines.
AskYourSenior
- Conceptualized and scoped a college-focused professional networking and mentorship platform to bridge placement and referral gaps between students and alumni.
- Designed a searchable directory and structured channels (Mentorship, Referrals, Resume Reviews) to prevent senior messaging fatigue.
- Structured a centralized Placement Knowledge Repository and Company Intelligence system to preserve interview experiences and hiring statistics across batches.
- Formulated a future AI Roadmap incorporating personalized mentor matching, intelligent referral assistance, and custom career roadmap generators.
AR/VR Landing Page
- Established a responsive visual layout for an AR/VR physics application using Figma, curating custom typography, color harmony, and futuristic design tokens.
- Developed high-fidelity interactive prototypes to simulate dynamic user navigation, hover transitions, and responsive content scaling.
- Conducted comparative usability reviews on various wireframe layouts to refine component spacing, visual hierarchy, and CTA placement.
