I am a Senior Product Manager at WSAudiology in Hyderabad, with more than fourteen years of experience building digital experiences. I started as a technical specialist at Cognizant, moved into business analysis and business development, and then into product roles at Cognizant, Quixy and WSAudiology. Much of my work has been in retail banking, cards and payments, and digital banking on web and mobile. I care most about data, people, design and customer experience, and I like to start with user research, personas and customer journey maps before deciding what to build.
Work
Below are some of my recent projects. Please request for the complete walkthrough of the locked projects.
01
Database-Connected AI Chatbot with Evals
Built a chatbot in five stages, from a plain OpenAI call to a system that remembers the conversation, calls tools and answers from a live database, then traced every answer in Langfuse and had AI judges score it.
02
Podcast Search MCP Server
Turned a semantic search engine over 1,009 product and technology podcast episodes into an MCP server, so an AI assistant can search the library, read transcripts, keep notes and run research briefs.
03
Personal AI Agent with Voice
Built an agent that searches and reads the web, remembers me between sessions, runs a job search from my resume, and answers the phone, with chat and voice sharing one memory.
04
Podcast RAG and Fine-Tuning
Built a question answering app over 149 podcast transcripts and saw why chunking matters, then fine-tuned a small open model to speak in a persona of my choosing.
Thoughts & Ideas
Notes on product discovery: user research before roadmaps, hackathons as a source of ideas, and moving from pre-sales into product.
From Pre-Sales to Product Management
Hackathons as a Product Discovery Tool
User Research Before Roadmaps
Experience
More than fourteen years in digital products, from technical work and pre-sales at Cognizant to product management in banking and beyond.
Build in small steps, listen to users, and let each release teach you something.
Stack
The models, databases and tools I used to build and ship the AI products on this page, from the first chatbot to RAG and fine-tuning.
