## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm transitioning into product management, combining Agile delivery leadership with research-informed AI product discovery, MVP prioritization, and commercial planning.

## About

```text
On PrepIQ, my BITSOM team capstone, I applied findings from two B2B SaaS sales interviews to define personas, JTBD, and user journeys for an AI sales intelligence copilot.

I defined a six-feature fintech MVP and PRD, prioritized features using MoSCoW and value–effort analysis, and created wireframes and prototypes. I also documented the Jira backlog, sprint plans, AI source citations, human review, and privacy requirements.

At UST Global, I partnered with business and product stakeholders on requirements, customer needs, risks, and delivery priorities. Earlier, I collaborated with Product Management at Intuit India on TurboTax products and led a Mac desktop product migration from the US to India.
