AI product builder turning LLM/RAG and healthcare needs into shippable SaaS features.
What I'm looking for
I’m an AI Product Builder with 8 years of tech industry experience, working at the intersection of engineering teams, product strategy, and business execution. I build AI-powered products using RAG, LLMs, OCR, and prompt engineering—while translating vague, high-stakes needs into clear requirements that engineers can execute with confidence.
In my most impactful work, I built a RAG-based AI Product Requirement Assistant that ingests PDF documents, extracts structured requirements, answers context-specific questions, and surfaces missing information as actionable flags. I defined “what counts as a gap” based on deep user thinking—positioning it as a differentiator from generic summarisation tools.
I also designed Arogya Mitra AI for underserved patients in Tier 2/3 cities, helping them understand printed and handwritten prescriptions in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. I paired OCR + LLM approaches with deliberate scoping (including drug-interaction flagging for common drug pairs) to avoid overclaiming clinical accuracy.
My career background began in technical recruiting across AI/ML, Data Engineering, and Backend teams, which sharpened my ability to identify execution gaps early and collaborate credibly with engineers from day one. Now as an Associate Product Manager (AI/ML), I focus on full product lifecycle thinking—problem identification through prototype—so strategy, delivery, and outcomes stay aligned.
