📓About me

Over the last decade, I have worked in small and big organizations building B2B and B2C products in UX-heavy and tech-heavy roles in Seattle and San Francisco. Ya, I’ve experienced the spectrum. And it’s been a privilege through its many highs and lows. ‍ Through those experiences, I’ve had the chance to chisel who I really am as a Product Manager - leaning into my strengths and building and shipping products that are uniquely me. And I want to help you through that as well.

No matter if you want to get tactical or discuss long-term ambitions, I will go at your speed to meet your goals. I draw from a decade of experience. I have a track record of scaling products to 10s and millions of users. The highs can be very high, but I also know the lows can be very low. I can provide the right insight.

Here’s what Merit users have said about Ashwin

Ashwin was definitely one of the best mentors I've had in awhile. He empowers me to think about my interests and needs while sharing his perspectives on his experience. I felt that I was able to build the confidence and autonomy I needed as a product manager while also recognizing and guiding me through how I could grow. I am grateful for the opportunity to meet him and I'm excited to see what amazing things are in store the next time we chat!

Ashwin was an amazing coach! He listened intently to background, my questions and concerns and addressed them with detail. Not only that, he took the time to give me context to many of the questions I was asking and answered them from a product perspective. I would recommend him to others as well!
