Product Manager CandidateAnalytics & Strategy Consultant
I turn engineering experience and messy data into product and business decisions. Over 30+ months as a Systems Engineer at TCS, I built and integrated the backend systems running real insurance and HR platforms. Now I'm doing a PGPM at the Great Lakes Institute of Management, specialising in Product Management and AI & Data Analytics, with an early seat in the McKinsey Forward Program. Recent work: a Medicare fraud model that's 7.6x better than chance, NLP on 215K patient reviews, and a $7M pharma rebate model. Seven certifications across AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft (Power BI, Azure AI, Power Platform) let me talk architecture with engineers and roadmap with stakeholders in the same meeting. A parallel life writing and editing short films taught me to read an audience, and I bring that instinct to every user problem I scope.
Value Proposition
I turn ambiguous market problems into shippable roadmaps. Structured customer discovery drives every Product-Market Fit call I make, across four B2C AI product lines for Navneet Education and in teardowns like my 23-slide Microsoft Teams study, where I set a North Star metric and wireframed the fix.
30+ months building backend systems at TCS taught me what actually breaks in production. I use that to lead global discovery sessions, reconcile conflicting stakeholder requirements, and ship features that move real metrics, including a 20% drop in support escalations.
I build the models that justify the decision. A Random Forest that flags Medicare fraud from 558K claims (PR-AUC 0.706), NLP that surfaced 35 hidden side-effect signals in 215K drug reviews, and a pharma sales & rebate model that sized $7.25M in quarterly rebates against $14.6M in profit.
Every product worth using is a story the user wants to be in. Scriptwriting and editing short films, including one exploring confirmation bias, trained me to find the emotional throughline in a narrative. I apply that directly to product storytelling and stakeholder communication.
Product strategy, analytics and machine learning, and design thinking
Problem: High user drop-off during onboarding. Strategy: Ran structured customer discovery across 4 B2C AI product lines. Solution: Prototyped functional workflows for a 3B-parameter domain LLM. Impact: Validated Product-Market Fit and delivered data-backed pricing recommendations.
Problem: Medicare fraud happens per provider, but the data arrives as 558K individual claims. Strategy: Engineered provider-level features and handled a 9% fraud rate with class weighting. Solution: Random Forest scored on PR-AUC, plus a Tableau dashboard. Impact: PR-AUC of 0.706, about 7.6x better than chance.
Problem: A specialty oncology drug maker needed territory sales and account-level rebates after quarter close. Strategy: Cleaned ~10.9K sales rows, mapped accounts to systems and territories, and applied GPO contract tiers. Solution: An Excel rebate engine. Impact: Sized $7.25M in quarterly rebates against $14.6M profit.
