Things I shipped.
Seven products I designed, built, and put in front of real users. Click any card to open the live product — no case-study placeholders, no "coming soon."
PM OS
A free, mission-based platform that teaches product judgment the way a flight simulator teaches flying. Six modules (~11 hours) — first principles, discovery, strategy, prioritization, technical execution, and growth analytics — reinforced with interactive simulators, real-world teardowns, playbooks, and a curated resource vault. Built as a dark, focused command center with streak-based progress tracking; fully self-paced, no account required.
The Garden
A deliberately anti-pattern dating product — no swiping, no photos, no scores. People meet through their inner world: you cultivate a private 'windowsill' of written reflections and reveal them petal by petal, only to people you choose. Concurrent conversations are intentionally capped ('not a limit — a kindness') to protect attention and emotional safety. A sharp product thesis on intentionality and privacy in a category built on the opposite.
Resume Scorer
Recruiter-grade resume evaluation — upload a PDF, paste a job description, and get a structured shortlisting verdict with a weighted score, skill-gap analysis, and copy-paste-ready rewrites. Parsing runs entirely in the browser; nothing is stored server-side.
Tracker
A personal productivity workspace that fuses freeform note-taking with a Trello-style task board — capture a thought, turn it into a trackable, movable task, all in one place. Tuned for an individual's workflow rather than team overhead.
Tanks
An HTML5 tank game wrapped in a narrative storyline — the story scaffolding exists specifically to lift session length and retention past a typical arcade loop. Flagship title under the Kelby Games label.
The Maker's Studio
A 3D product configurator for custom merchandise — users design their own products in real-time 3D, then order them. The digital evolution of the manual DTC workflow that powered Formies, now scaled through automation and visual customization.
Formies
A DTC brand for custom candles and figurines using DLP 3D printing to produce bespoke molds. Reached ₹50K revenue via Shopify and Amazon — the hands-on, manual predecessor whose lessons shaped the digital configurator behind The Maker's Studio.
// Trajectory · 4 roles
Where I shipped impact.
Product and engineering roles where I drove growth, solved systems problems, and shipped measurable outcomes.
- Drove 1,000% ARPDAU Growth: Scaled revenue from $2 to $22 per 1,000 DAU by spearheading monetization experiments, including client-side notifications and 'Switch Game' APIs, yielding $400K incremental annual revenue
- AI-Driven Optimization: Boosted CTR from 0.6% to 2.0% by leveraging Generative AI (Midjourney) to iterate on game assets and thumbnails across 100+ titles on MSN
- Retention & Engagement: Reduced bounce rates by 40% and tripled average playtime (+200%) via funnel optimization, UX redesigns, and revamped recommendation logic
- Technical Risk Management: Led Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and implemented traffic-quality safeguards alongside domain diversification to mitigate revenue loss during Google IVT (Invalid Traffic) crackdowns
- Cross-functional Leadership: Directed a team of 15 (Eng, Design, QA) using Metabase, Elasticsearch, and Jira to align engineering output with business KPIs
- Hyper-Growth Scaling: Managed product implementation and feature prioritization to scale user base 10x (20K to 200K MAU)
- AI Access System: Conceptualized and launched an end-to-end Autonomous Access System using facial recognition and a custom leave-management module for Woxsen University
- Hardware-Software Bridge: Led the integration of backend authorization logic with physical on-ground hardware (flap barriers), managing complex technical dependencies
- Stakeholder Management: Directed QA, Operations, and Customer Success teams; led high-stakes product demos and pitches to secure institutional partnerships
- Product Lifecycle Ownership: Owned the end-to-end NPD (PRD, design, prototyping) for high-capacity Lithium-Ion battery packs for B2B robotics clients (Anscer, RightBot)
- Operations Scaling: Led a team of 9 to ramp up production 14x for 10 KW LFP battery packs, optimizing the manufacturing funnel for efficiency and yield
- Accelerated R&D Cycles: Led the Rapid Prototyping division, managing a 5-member engineering team to decrease time-to-market for hardware iterations through 3D printing and vacuum casting
- Infrastructure Engineering: Designed and built 4 custom in-house 3D printers (CoreXY and Cartesian architectures), increasing production throughput by 250% (normalized by part complexity)
- Operational Scaling: Established a full-scale in-house vacuum casting facility; partnered with international stakeholders (Smooth-On) to optimize material cost-efficiency and R&D process flow
- Precision Systems Design: Engineered the liquid and spice dispensing assemblies for RIKU (autonomous cooking robot), successfully integrating mechanical hardware with precision-controlled software actuation for sub-gram dispensing accuracy
