This very website. Built it with Astro and a terminal theme because I miss my engineering days. Has a Human/Agent toggle because why not.

I'm a product person who still likes getting his hands dirty with coding. At Zeta, I work on PayZapp, platform, payments, and growth - product surfaces where design, reliability, regulation, and human impatience all show up in the same meeting.
Studied CS (and inexplicably Chemistry) at BITS Pilani, then got an MBA from ISB because apparently one degree wasn't enough punishment. These days I spend my time turning messy systems into shippable product decisions.
When I'm not thinking about card payments and UPI flows, I'm probably refactoring code I no longer own or questioning my life choices.

Based in India and open to global or remote product problems. High-agency product leader with experience across consumer products at scale, payments, fintech, platform, growth, UPI/cards, engineering, and prototypes.
