Ashish K — Product Manager

I am a Product Manager with 4+ years of experience building and scaling SaaS and platform products in fast-paced startup and enterprise environments. My work sits at the intersection of technical product management, system design, and data-driven decision making. I have hands-on experience owning end-to-end product workflows across onboarding, integrations, campaigns, and platform operations. I work closely with engineering teams to translate ambiguous business and operational problems into clear product requirements, API-driven workflows, and scalable system designs. I have formal training in product management with Generative AI and have applied AI-assisted workflows across product discovery, requirements documentation, analysis, and operational automation. I focus on using AI pragmatically to improve speed, clarity, and decision quality rather than treating AI as a standalone feature. I take a data-informed approach to product development, using product analytics, funnels, and experimentation to identify drop-offs, validate hypotheses, and prioritize high-impact improvements. I have experience writing PRDs, user stories, and acceptance criteria, managing backlogs, and driving agile delivery in close collaboration with cross-functional stakeholders. Earlier in my career, I worked in cloud and DevOps environments, which gave me a strong technical foundation and the ability to communicate effectively with engineering teams on architecture, deployment, and system constraints. I am particularly interested in roles involving SaaS platforms, API-centric products, workflow automation, and AI-enabled product experiences where technical depth, execution, and system thinking are critical.
