I'm Padma— Senior Product Manager with 11 years in tech, 7.5 of those in product management across AI, healthcare SaaS, B2B workflow automation, and open-source products. I started my career as a software developer at ThoughtWorks. The transition into product management wasn't accidental — I realized the hardest problems in technology aren't engineering problems, they're people and product problems. That shift has shaped everything I've done since. I've built products used by millions of patients across US health insurance providers, shipped LLM-powered AI agents in production, led open-source EMR development across Africa and Asia, and built my own AI product independently from zero (mease.lovable.app). I've navigated career transitions, stakeholder conflicts, difficult managers, and job searches in markets where nobody was responding. I know what it feels like to be stuck — and I know what actually moves things forward. Who I work with: Professionals at any stage — fresh graduates figuring out their first move, engineers wanting to transition into PM, mid-level professionals who feel stuck, or anyone who wants to think more clearly about their career, their work relationships, or their next step. What we can work on together: — Breaking into product management from any background — Career guidance and positioning for your next role — Discovery and problem-solving in your current role — Navigating people management and workplace relationships — Resume, LinkedIn, and interview preparation — Quick unblocking sessions when you need a thought partner I don't give generic advice. I ask the questions that surface what's actually going on — and help you find an answer that fits your specific situation, not a template. Book a session if: You want honest, direct guidance from someone who has done the work — not just studied it.
