Product Engineer at Hushh.ai
TL;DR: In my full-time role, I led the execution of our core AI products and company-wide processes. I architected the flagship PKM prototype that defined our agentic AI strategy, implemented the agile framework that scaled our 10+ person team, crafted enterprise-ready use cases for leaders in finance and retail, and represented Hushh at global tech forums in Paris and Abu Dhabi, generating over 70 enterprise leads.
In this role, I worked closely with Manish Sainani (CEO) and Justin Donaldson (CTO). I was also fortunate to be mentored by industry leaders Suresh Attuluri and Andrew Stein, whose guidance was invaluable in shaping our technical and product strategies.
Architecting the Core AI Experience
My primary technical project was leading the design and definition of the Personal Knowledge Model (PKM), the cornerstone of our AI assistant strategy. The key challenge was designing a system of trust for collaborative data access. I architected and built a high-fidelity interactive prototype that became the official visual blueprint for the product. By focusing on a transparent UI with granular, revocable consent, I solved for the core user problem of sharing sensitive data simply and safely. This work was central to the company's strategic pivot towards agentic AI, secured leadership buy-in, and provided a foundational spec that aligned our product and engineering teams.
Driving Operational Excellence & Predictable Delivery
As the team grew, I identified that our rapid development pace led to unpredictable timelines and cross-team friction. I designed and implemented a new agile framework to bring clarity and structure to our workflow. This involved defining specific KPIs for Engineering, UI/UX, and Product, and establishing a 15-minute daily standup to resolve blockers quickly. Leading a team of 10+ across engineering, BD, and design, this new process established a culture of predictable delivery and enabled us to ship internal MVPs within a reliable 2-month timeline.
Representing Hushh on the Global Stage
I was selected as a key representative for Hushh.ai at two major international forums. At Viva Technology 2024 in Paris, I engaged directly with leadership teams from global brands like L'Oréal, demoing our vision for personalized retail. At Abu Dhabi Finance Week 2024, I connected with financial leaders and strategic partners. These engagements were crucial for business development, resulting in over 70 qualified enterprise leads and establishing foundational relationships with partners like LVMH and Reliance.
Crafting Enterprise-Ready Use Cases
A critical part of my role was translating our complex technology into tangible solutions for enterprise clients. I personally developed detailed use-case presentations and led deep-dive conversations with leaders across finance, e-commerce, and retail. This included engaging with innovation teams at Reliance, Visa, MasterCard, Standard Chartered, Kotak Mahindra, Flipkart, JioMart, and LVMH to design tailored AI-driven solutions around deep personalization, consent-driven marketing, and omnichannel experiences. This work directly shaped our product roadmap and proved instrumental in our B2B sales efforts.
