01 · About

About me.

I’m a Master’s student in Integrated Innovation for Products & Services at Carnegie Mellon University, with a background in Mathematics and Computing from IIT Kharagpur.

Most recently, I interned as a Product Manager at Cloudflare, where I personally built and led the 0-to-1 development of an AI-powered campaign management tool supporting ~$50M/year in sales. I have previously worked as a Software Engineer at Microsoft India, where I honed my expertise in web development. During my undergraduate studies, I gained valuable experience in AI/ML through projects and thesis work.

I am passionate about building transformative technology solutions that combine my technical depth with product strategy and design thinking. At CMU, I am expanding my skills in innovation and product development to bridge the gap between technology and user-centric solutions.
