About

Taking requests in plain English & responding with shipped software, that's my job where I turn ambiguity into shipped software. I’ve worn the hats—UI/UX Designer, Business Analyst, Project Manager, Product Manager, and Program Manager—to build 0→1 and scale 1→100 across Banking, Insurance, RegTech, SportsTech, IoT, and even unconventional spaces like Agriculture. Highly regulated? Perfect. I speak compliance without slowing delivery. I’ve led digital transformations in places where the real world is messy (farms, factories, hospitals) and the rulebooks are strict (banks, insurers, pharma QMS). On the tech side, I’ve worked with IoT, BLE, and 5G—designing scalable, modular platforms and clean interfaces backed by clean data. On the business side, I drive outcomes, clarity, and cadence. Think of me as the integration layer between business and engineering—human-friendly API included. Core strengths: Product strategy & delivery • Agile leadership (Scrum/Kanban) • Techno-functional program management • Team building & stakeholder alignment • Scalable modular architectures • Data-informed decisions & KPI ownership Compliance & privacy: ISO 27001 • SOC 2 • GDPR • India DPDP - DPA/SCC/TIA/ROPA drafting • Vendor risk management • SoA & audit readiness • Evidence packs • Incident/breach workflows • Data retention & inventory • Consent/cookie governance Selected outcomes: Fast 0→1 MVPs in regulated domains • 1→100 scale-ups • Process-efficiency gains through cleaner journeys, data, and execution Certifications: Licentiate (III) • CSPO • CSM If you’re building customer-centric, compliance-ready platforms and need someone who can translate strategy into shipped software—let’s connect.
