About / 04
I currently work as Project Lead & R&D Associate at Brototype (Packapeer Academy Pvt Ltd), driving programmes, cross-functional squads, and automation systems.
My engineering background (MERN, Next.js, React Native, Python, cloud hosting across AWS EC2 and Vercel) means I understand where technical debt hides, how architectures break, and how to speak the language of engineers.
My product practice ensures teams build the right thing: unblocking roadmaps, running Agile sprint cadences in Jira and Slack, designing PRDs, and translating ambiguous business problems into measurable student and business outcomes.

Leadership & Mentoring / 05
I introduced team-based project delivery at Brototype, assembling squads across Web and Machine Learning disciplines, structuring Jira backlogs, and migrating ad-hoc chats into disciplined async Slack rituals.
I lead three operational wings—onboarding, communication, and placement—managing an active cohort of 20+ top students that achieves an average placement package of ~13+ LPA.
Good product leadership means knowing when to stop. When the custom ACE Tool did not justify its ongoing running costs and caused dual-platform friction after 4 months, I made the call to retire it in favor of streamlined spreadsheets—freeing resources for higher-impact work.

I am open to Product Management, Technical Program Management, and Associate Product Manager roles where engineering depth meets product intuition.
