About

An inquisitive and passionate mind, always working to solve real world problems using technology - I enjoy building LEGO blocks, shooting fleeting moments and transforming ideas to products that users love and use. Ideate -> fail fast -> Iterate: The journey that starts before the first line of code is written and continues well after the last line of code is shipped out is the most rewarding part of my job. My failures have taught me to be brutally honest to the real needs of our users yet continuously explore new avenues to deliver unique value to them. My successes have taught me the importance for everyone in the team to align to the same goal. Over the years, I have gathered rich experience in: 1. Helping users become more productive - As a Product Lead in Microsoft Search and Copilot. 2. Making users more productive using digital voice assistants – As a Program Manager in Cortana 3. Solving information needs using search engine – As a Program Manager in Bing 4. Helping telecom operators personalize their campaigns – As a Product Manager in IMIMobile 5. Making shop floors of manufacturing plants intelligent by conflating data from line sensors with ERP data – As an Applications Engineer in Oracle
