Senior Product Manager in FinTech, Applied GenAI, and live service platforms. I build complex systems from scratch and ship them to scale. Currently at Morningstar, governing $250B AUM across 1.9M US retirement participants.
I am a Senior Product Manager at Morningstar in Mumbai, where I own two roadmaps covering $250B in assets under management and 1.9M US retirement participants across Tier-1 clients including Empower and Capital Group.
I built Continuous Assurance from scratch — an internal audit platform that reruns the advice engine against original database parameters, flags equity allocation deltas above 5%, and saves millions annually in regulatory exposure. I did not inherit it. I conceived it, wrote the spec, and shipped it.
Before FinTech I scaled a consumer app to 1M concurrent users with zero downtime on launch day. Before that I built EMOTS, an AML transaction monitoring platform for real-time financial risk detection. That credential is what got me hired at Morningstar.
My AI design philosophy: functions own logic and calculations. AI owns the intelligence layer. I am deliberate about where models earn their place in a system, and I have shipped production pipelines on AWS Bedrock and Claude Opus that reflect this principle.
Three companies. Three domains. One pattern: I take complex systems from zero to live, measure the right things, and build for scale from day one.
Platform Thinking
I am deliberate about where AI earns its place in a system. Deterministic thresholds are explainable, auditable, and trustworthy. Models belong at the prediction and intelligence layer, not in the decisioning loop.
This philosophy has shaped every AI product I have shipped — from the AWS Bedrock pipeline at Morningstar generating 30-second PDF audit summaries, to the anomaly detection logic in Continuous Assurance that flags equity allocation deltas above 5%.
This document demonstrates how I think as a technical PM: starting with the real problem, translating it into a system architecture, and defining success metrics that actually matter. Grounded in firsthand domain experience and architectural patterns I have applied in production.
No invented formulas. No generic systems design. Just the logic — documented cleanly enough for an engineering team to build from.
"Functions own the logic. AI owns the intelligence layer. These are different responsibilities — they should live in different parts of the system."
