My Process

Week 1 to 2

Understanding users & business goals

Discovery interviews

Research & Strategy

I begin every project with thorough user research and stakeholder interviews to understand the problem space and align on project goals.

// Agent workflow spec
const pipeline = {
 eval: "quality-bar",
 fallback: "human-review",
 tokens: budget(max: 1200)
}

Design & Prototype

From wireframes to interactive prototypes, I bring ideas to life early and enable testing before heavy engineering investment.

Curious about me?

I'm Manish, a Civil Engineer turned Product Manager who's traded hardhats for product roadmaps but kept the same blueprint-style, systems mindset.

Whether I'm uncovering user pain points, sketching the next MVP, or translating tech-speak for stakeholders, my north star stays simple: build solutions that genuinely improve everyday lives.

I combine structured problem-solving with user empathy to ship products that feel sturdy, intuitive, and human-centered.
