OPEN TO PRODUCT OPPORTUNITIES
THE PERSON

The one doing
all the asking.

Illustrated portrait of Guhan, arms folded, standing with two small companions

I grew up moving between places, which is probably why I am comfortable walking into a room where nobody has written anything down yet. You learn to work out how a thing runs by watching it, asking a lot of questions, and being willing to look stupid for the first week.

I started in mechanical engineering, spent a stint in investment banking research, and then found product. None of it was a plan. What connects it is that I keep moving toward problems where the technical constraint and the human problem are the same conversation.

These days that means AI reliability: systems where being confidently wrong is expensive, and where the product job is making the uncertainty legible instead of hiding it. On the side I build small things, write, dance badly on the internet, and cook far more than I should.
