About

Working towards building Meta to new heights. With a distinguished tenure at Microsoft, my role as a Product Manager is a testament to my commitment to bridging the gap between business needs and technological advancements. My journey has been marked by the successful development of cloud, analytics, and data lake products, ensuring their alignment with market demands and customer satisfaction. My approach to product strategy and roadmap prioritization is informed by a multicultural perspective, gleaned from professional experiences across the US, India, Malaysia, and Singapore. This global outlook enhances my ability to collaborate with engineering and design teams, driving product releases that resonate on an international scale. My interpersonal skills are not just a trait, but a tool that empowers our teams to achieve excellence.
