What?

The idea of “Harmony” describes my interests.

I'm passionate about and am working towards harmonizing advancements in technology for social impact for a wholesome, harmonious society. My career has given me the opportunity to thrive in the harmony of business-technology. I seek mind-heart harmony by playing music on the synthesizer, mind-body harmony by practicing Krav Maga or Salsa Rueda, and mind-world harmony by immersing myself in social psychology.

For Whom?

You might find value from reading my posts if my experiences are similar to what you are looking to do for the first time or do better when you do it next.
Tactical tips I learnt and some frameworks for parts of the end to end career switch journey might help if you are looking to switch careers, looking to switch into Product Management, or switch into a new PM role.
My growth-stage startup career phase necessitated self-learning and experimentation. The resulting learnings might help if you are looking to improve your understanding of customers in general or looking to improve customer experience for your product.
If you are into social psychology, music, martial arts, weight lifting, salsa, productivity hacks, or non-profits, the other diverse posts might be intriguing.

Who?

I am a product of my experiences... I am a consultant and career coach solving challenges for Product Managers at Spark Creative Technologies. Before this, I was a Product Manager in a growth-stage tech company and am a former engineer, having worked across company sizes ranging from 30 to 76,000 employees. Having lived in three continents, I’ve had the opportunity to absorb from varied cultures, cuisines, and working styles. Lastly, I’ve found it fun to immerse myself in music as a keyboardist in bands, in activities such as Krav Maga martial arts and Salsa Rueda dancing, and in reading social psychology.
