Hi, I'm Ashwin
A product strategist who turns ambiguous business problems into AI products people actually use. From building GenAI proofs of concept at Deloitte to writing the PRD for an agentic customer-service product with Oracle, I sit between strategy, engineering and the customer. Currently an Engineering Management candidate at Cornell, based in Ithaca and New York.

Product strategy
I turn ambiguous business problems into clear product direction: PR/FAQs, end-to-end PRDs and roadmaps that product, data and leadership can align on.
GenAI & multi-agent systems
I scope and build AI products end to end, from RAG knowledge assistants on Vertex AI and Qdrant to multi-agent pipelines with OpenAI and Claude.
Consulting & business strategy
I run market research, competitive analysis and RFPs, coordinating delivery, pricing and roadmaps across finance, product and engineering to win client work.
Team leadership
I lead and grow teams: eight data interns at VenueHorn, a five-person build team at Deloitte, and GenAI training that brought 15+ new analysts up to speed.
Featured projects
A few of the AI systems I've designed and built end to end: a guide that turns a business problem into an agent architecture, a fixed-rules monitor for a county's grid, and multi-agent investment research.

Working with a student cohort to source, evaluate and fund nonprofit centers across Tompkins County.
$80K in grants
I help teams cut through the AI noise and ship products that solve a real business problem.
My background is in computer science and consulting, so I'm as comfortable writing a PR/FAQ for executives as I am scoping a retrieval pipeline with engineers. I work closely with stakeholders, keep the team pointed at the metric that matters, and get hands-on with the build.
My approach
- 01
Frame
I begin by identifying the core business problem rather than focusing on technology.
I analyze data, consult stakeholders, and transform ambiguity into a clear Product Requirements Document (PRD) or PR/FAQ that achieves consensus.
- 02
Build
I rapidly develop prototypes with a focus on technical feasibility.
I define the scope of data, application programming interfaces (APIs), and governance, collaborating with engineers to present a functional proof of concept to users.
- 03
Deliver
I measure project success by its impact on key performance indicators.
I ensure team alignment on outcomes such as user adoption, process automation, and revenue generation, and oversee the project through to launch.
Photography
Outside of work, I document striking places and people through visual storytelling.
Let's work together
I'm open to full-time product strategy, product management and consulting roles starting in 2027. I'm F-1 STEM OPT eligible with 36 months of US work authorization, and no sponsorship is needed to start.
