I like turning messy problems into things people can actually use.

MBA candidate at Chicago Booth, focused on tech strategy and product roles at AI-first companies. Before Booth, I spent four years at BCG Mumbai, mostly on pricing and AI projects. Outside class, I build small products, and a few of them are below.

Live game

DISHOOM! A multiplayer card game 100+ people play every month

Ek gaon. Chaar avatar. Ek gaddar.
The Commissioner wants order. The Dons want him dead. Somebody at this table is playing both sides.
BANG!DISHOOM!
What I did

Designed the product

Reimagined the hidden-role card game BANG! as an Indian deck with original characters and cards, plus a one-tap switch back to the western names.

Coded it end to end with Claude Code

A single-file web app with AI bots for empty seats and phone-to-phone rooms, self-hosted on Cloudflare's free tier.

Tested like a product team

Ran 1,000 simulated games to catch crashes and balance win rates across 4 to 7 players before each release.

Iterated with real players

Shipped 15+ playtested releases from friends' feedback; the current version reaches 100+ monthly users.

What I built

The problem

Admissions consultants are expensive, so most MBA applicants guess where they stand and which schools to apply to.

The product

Enter a profile and get a Dream, Target and Safe school list in about a minute, then school-specific strengths and gaps.

The flywheel

A community feed where every shared result makes the odds more accurate for the next applicant.

Built to test

A tester log next to the phone records every tap alongside the data the product would capture, so each user test doubles as data design.
