A little more about me
I’ve tried product, finance, and consulting. The work I keep coming back to puts me close to users and engineers, with enough ownership to build, measure, and improve.
I studied Computer Science with a minor in Finance at BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus. I was drawn to ambiguous business problems and the ways technology could help solve them. Working with early-stage startups through the consulting group gave me an early view of product design, go-to-market decisions, and customer needs.
At JPMorgan, I worked on an internal platform for wholesale credit-risk analysis. Financial models, automation, migrations, and conversations with credit officers taught me why accuracy and trust matter so much in financial systems. I pursued the CFA and FRM exams to build deeper domain knowledge alongside the product work.
MoveInSync gave me the ownership I was looking for. As an early member of a new manufacturing-focused business unit, I worked across product, analytics, and customer operations—sometimes writing the requirements, sometimes building the first rough tool, and often working through the issue directly with a customer.
I explored consulting at Kearney to broaden that perspective. It taught me structured problem-solving and how to communicate technical trade-offs to senior stakeholders. It also clarified what I want next: long-term ownership, close collaboration with users and engineers, and the chance to keep improving what I ship.

Outside the job description
A little of the person
behind the work.
Anime
My favourite. I’m also drawn to psychological thrillers like Monster and season one of Psycho-Pass, the adventure of Frieren, and the sci-fi of Cowboy Bebop and Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Formula 1
I follow Max Verstappen and Red Bull. Beyond the racing, I’m interested in the trade-offs around development rules and whole-car performance—and the decisions teams make about their drivers.
Macro & geopolitics
I’m following the connection between oil prices, chip supply, and what we pay for technology. Especially DRAM and SSDs: how do supply pressures change the expectation that better technology should get cheaper?
An open conversation
I’m looking for my next role in product and technology, and exploring opportunities where finance is part of the problem.
