Product Manager

What do you do?

I build products in complex legacy domains. So far worked in agriculture and logistics.

Why?

I believe in the greater fool theory where one attempts to solve a large enough problem against difficult odds. You might look foolish to the world. A large part of my career is built on reaching out to friendly ambitious nerds and engaging with them with such problems.

What should we read?

I read Robert M Pirsig’s “Zen and the art of Motorcycle maintenance” in my formative years of college. It ended up messing me for good. Ever since, I am eternally striving for quality in all my pursuits.
