I am a self-taught product manager. I am eternally curious and always enjoy learning new things. Having graduated from a tier-I college in India, I have previous gigs working as a back-end developer and a data scientist, so I am pretty comfortable with the technical side of things. My dream is to deliver a chartbuster game.
My love for gaming
I have a personal passion for gaming and all things consumer electronics.
Personally speaking, I grew up with cheap rip-offs of fourth-generation gaming consoles that only played second-generation games like Donkey kong, Super Mario Bros, Contra, Adventure Island (circa 2003–2010) because those were the only things I could afford.
So the special days when I got my report card called for a day at gaming centers, where I would spend the five bucks very carefully, so it would last me the whole day. But the adrenaline rush I got in those dark, shady smoke-filled gaming dens through Tekken 3, Street Fighter, and Sonic made me question if these things are even legal.
So growing up, I aspired to get my hands on a game boy or PS-IIs, which of course, never came true. But I now realize it’s not the consoles I was in love with but the game, the stories told, the adrenaline rush, the user experience. I want to deliver the same thing as a PM to the millions or at least to that one mini-me whose only source of happiness was games.
