About me
I'm Prashanth (pruh•shaanth) - a digital product manager with over 10 years of hands-on experience spanning UX design, front-end engineering, and product management.
I've had the opportunity to delve into Fintech and Health-tech, crafting products that not only look sharp but also drive real behavior change.
I've led cross-functional teams to bring meaningful web, mobile, and connected features and products. Recently I've launched a few AI(NLP) based features and am excited to dive deeper into that world.
What I'm passionate about:
User Experience

What I'm reading right now.
I'm currently reading titles covering product management, behavior change, design thinking, habit building, and self-improvement. I love books that share practical tips on sparking innovation, leading teams, crafting impactful strategies, and growing personally.
“Thought is not reality; yet it is through thought that our realities are created.”
"Good strategy is not just 'what' you are trying to do. It is also 'why' and 'how' you are doing it."
The POM boils down to 1) how you build, 2) how you solve problems, 3) how you choose which problems to solve.
