I don't just
write PRDs.
I ship products.
PM with 3 years in EV infrastructure and fintech. Now building AI-native tools end to end — from idea to deployed product, without handoffs and without waiting.
Behind the lab
Joined Kazam as the first APM — no playbook, no PM above me. Three years: vendor payouts, warehouse infrastructure, OEM integrations, customer comms. All solo, all end-to-end.
When AI got powerful enough to be a real engineering partner, I didn't wait for a roadmap. Same instinct — see the gap, close it. The Anxious Lab is where that goes next.

The anxious
creative
“Anxious” isn't a diagnosis — it's a disposition. I overthink systems, find patterns in chaos, and make things with my hands when I'm processing something. The lab is where those impulses live together.
“Indian philosophy and ancient scripture carry a kind of systems thinking that maps surprisingly well to product design. I keep coming back to that.”
Systems I've built
Three years of owning products end-to-end — payments, operations, AI, and infrastructure. No PM support. Here's what that looks like in practice.
Vendor Payout System
Eliminated manual email-based payment requests across 300+ vendors
Auto-Assignment Engine
Performance-scored routing that scaled field ops to 400+/day
OEM API Integrations
Real-time data flow between Tata ACE, Montra DMS, and Kazam
Notification System
A/B tested WhatsApp, SMS, and IVR — data picked SMS
Warehouse Module
Unified audit layer for 5 warehouses and 1,600+ SKUs
RAG Agent + Ticketing
Replaced static internal docs with an AI policy Q&A agent

What I build on weekends
Experiments in AI-native building — where the PM is also the architect, the engineer, and the deployer.
Recipe Book
Full-stack social recipe platform — user auth, image storage, real-time global feed, likes & comments. Designed, architected, and shipped solo. Deployed on Vercel.
Directed architecture, auth flows, DB schema, and edge case fixes entirely through product intent — using Claude Code as the engineering engine. Built in days, not months.
AI Podcast from Substack
Converted Substack essays into a short-form audio podcast using NotebookLM. Clipped into reels and shorts using Opus Clip. Built a repeatable content pipeline.
The interesting part wasn't the tools — it was designing the pipeline so one essay becomes five formats without creative loss. That's a product problem, not a tech problem.
AI is my engineering muscle
PM who builds. Not just writes PRDs and waits — I compose software using AI as the engineering muscle.
The bottleneck was never product thinking. It was execution speed and access. AI removes that. From idea to deployed product, without handoffs. The Anxious Lab is the proof.
The stack I reach for
“The most interesting part of building with AI isn't the code it writes. It's the way it changes what a single person can own and ship.”
Beyond the work
The same brain that maps ERP flows also writes essays and paints. It's not a side project — it's the same instinct, different output.
Writing
theanxiouslab · Substack
Thinking out loud
I write about the products I build, the systems I design, and the thoughts behind them. Part product essay, part product diary — the kind of thinking that doesn't fit in a PRD but lives somewhere between a design decision and a personal conviction.

I paint when I'm processing something
The same instinct that makes me map out system flows makes me reach for a brush. Painting is where anxiety becomes something visible — and sometimes, something beautiful. The lab holds both.
