OPEN TO PRODUCT OPPORTUNITIES
THE PERSON

A little
about me.

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

I am a product manager who enjoys building things and figuring out how people will use them. An idea rarely stays in my notebook for long. I want to try it, put it in front of someone, and see what I missed. That is what draws me to technology, especially AI and human-computer interaction: how a new capability becomes something people can understand, trust, and find useful.

I like the part of product work where the answer is still taking shape. Talking to users, making sense of a difficult workflow, and working with engineers helps me decide what is worth building and what can wait. I build prototypes to test those decisions, and I care about what happens after launch. Did we solve the problem? Where are people still getting stuck?

I am now pursuing a Master’s in Product Management at Carnegie Mellon, with a particular interest in AI reliability and the choices people make when using these systems. Across my roles, I have worked on cybersecurity, enterprise AI, and healthcare products, taking ideas through discovery, development, and customer pilots. My earlier training in mechanical engineering and experience in investment banking research still shape how I work: I want to understand both how a product works and why it makes business sense.
