I'm an AI-enabled Business Analyst and Product Manager with 7+ years of experience building and scaling products. I specialize in product strategy, discovery, business analysis, requirements engineering, process mapping, creating demo-ready products from scratch and vibe-coding.
What sets me apart: I leverage agentic AI workflows to go beyond traditional BA/PM work. I don't just write specs, I ship frontend-ready code. From PRDs to interactive React prototypes, I compress the cycle from idea to tangible product, reducing dependency on engineering for early validation and iteration.
I create high-fidelity, fully interactive prototypes built in React and Tailwind CSS, not static mockups, but working UI that stakeholders can click through, test, and provide feedback on before a single engineering sprint begins. This means faster alignment, fewer revision cycles, and a dramatically shorter path from concept to production.
My clients see clear and measurable growth across verticals. My approach is data-driven and user-centric, with deep experience taking products from zero-to-one and translating founder vision into shipped software.
I currently lead BA and product work on a B2B SaaS ERP platform, owning feature specs, client engagements, design collaboration, developer handoff, and user story writing across 10+ modules.
Key skills:
- Developing PRDs, BRDs, UX specs, and module-level specifications
- Shipping frontend-ready React prototypes directly from product specs
- Building AI-augmented BA workflows for PRD generation, clarification, and story writing
- Leading cross-functional collaboration across business, design, and engineering
- Gathering requirements through stakeholder interviews, process mapping, and client engagements
- Writing sprint-ready user stories with acceptance criteria
- Creating wireframes, UX specs, and high-fidelity interactive prototypes for design handoff
- Utilizing agile methodologies to drive product development
Tools: Jira, Confluence, Figma, Miro, Notion, Mixpanel, Claude AI, Cursor, Slack
Let's connect and bring your product vision to life!

Most SaaS founders don't have a chaos problem — they have an execution gap.
Ideas stall. Sprints drift. No one owns the follow-through.
That's where I come in.
I'm Milan — an Agile Project Manager and Operations Lead with 7+ years of experience working directly with founders and product teams to close the gap between strategy and shipped outcomes. I manage projects end-to-end, solo, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Over 21 engagements, I've helped startups:
→ Deliver projects on time without micromanagement
→ Build repeatable ops systems (SOPs, workflows, documentation)
→ Keep cross-functional teams aligned across time zones
→ Give founders back 10+ hrs/week by owning execution
I work best as a long-term partner — embedded in your team, owning delivery, and running operations so you can stay focused on growth.
🔹 What I own for you
— Agile project delivery: sprint planning, backlog grooming, roadmaps, risk & dependency management
— Operations: SOPs, process documentation, workflow systems, team coordination
— Executive support: calendar & inbox management, stakeholder comms, meeting follow-through
🔹 How I work
— ClickUp (Intermediate Certified), Jira, Confluence, Notion
— Async-first, remote-ready, documentation-driven
— Clear weekly updates — you always know where things stand
— Proactive, not reactive — I surface problems before they become blockers
📩 If you're a SaaS founder who needs one reliable operator to own delivery and keep ops running — let's talk.

✅ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿 & 𝗔𝗜 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗢𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿 | 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲 & 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝗿 🚀 6+ yrs leading AAA, Web3 & AI products | 50+ projects, 700K+ users
I grew up in games, and I run projects like it. That means obsessing over systems, protecting quality under pressure, and shipping things that actually work.
𝗘𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗬 ⬆️ – 𝗤𝗨𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬 ⬆️ – 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗖𝗧𝗔𝗕𝗟𝗘 𝗗𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 ⬆️ – These are the outcomes you can expect when we work together.
☑️ Launch high-impact products
☑️ Optimize workflows & team velocity
☑️ Scale your digital experiences across Web2, Web3 & AI ecosystems

Two BIG differentiators set me apart:
1️⃣ 𝗘𝗻𝗱-𝘁𝗼-𝗘𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 & 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁: I’ve shipped AAA games, launched Web3 ecosystems, and integrated AI-powered features. I manage distributed teams (30–50+) across design, engineering, and QA, turning roadmaps into reality.
2️⃣ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 + 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗢𝗯𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱: Agile, Scrum, and structured product frameworks only work when implemented correctly. I design workflows, sprint systems, and reporting dashboards to ensure predictable delivery, high quality, and iterative learning. I don't just run the framework, I protect it. That means pushing back on scope creep and shortcuts that cost you later.

Growing companies often reach a point where the team is strong and the product is solid, but execution starts to become harder to coordinate as projects and initiatives multiply.
That’s where I typically step in.
I help SaaS companies and technology teams create the operational systems that allow great ideas to move consistently from concept to shipped product. My work sits at the intersection of product management, operational strategy, and cross-team execution.
Whether it's structuring a roadmap, aligning teams around priorities, or designing workflows that reduce internal friction, my goal is always the same: help companies move faster with greater clarity.
If you need someone to “manage tasks,” I’m probably not your best fit.
If you need someone to design and lead scalable execution systems — especially in SaaS, AI-enabled products, or growth-stage environments — we should talk.
I’m a Senior Product & Operations Leader with 15+ years of experience turning complex workflows into structured, high-performing systems. I specialize in AI-integrated processes, SaaS product leadership, and operational architecture that reduces friction and increases execution clarity.
Throughout my career, I’ve:
• Led product discovery and roadmap development for AI/LLM-powered solutions
• Redesigned workflows across 200+ locations to improve efficiency and reduce communication breakdowns
• Reduced operational inefficiencies by double digits through structured process design and backend alignment
• Built scalable product and project frameworks for growth-stage and enterprise teams
• Partnered deeply with engineering, design, data, and executive stakeholders to ship meaningful results
My approach is simple:
Clarity before tools.
Structure before scale.
Execution before noise.
I don’t just run standups or track timelines. I define the system behind the work — the lifecycle stages, decision gates, ownership models, KPIs, automations, and communication frameworks that keep teams aligned and predictable under pressure.
Common areas I help companies improve:
• Operational structure across product, engineering, and leadership teams
• Roadmap planning and initiative prioritization
• Translating strategy into clear technical execution
• Cross-team coordination across complex projects
• Workflow and systems design to reduce internal friction
• Improving delivery rhythm for growing SaaS teams
Typical engagements include:
• Fractional COO / operations leadership for growing companies
• Product and delivery leadership for SaaS startups
• Operational systems audits and workflow redesign
• Roadmap and delivery structure for engineering teams
• Scaling execution as companies move from early product to growth stage
I’m most valuable to organizations that already have talented teams and strong products but need better operational structure to scale execution.
I focus on creating clarity before adding process. The goal is not to introduce bureaucracy, but to design simple operational systems that allow teams to move quickly while staying aligned.
I thrive in high-expectation, high-ownership environments where ambiguity needs structure and momentum needs discipline.
If you’re building something meaningful and need execution systems that hold up as you scale, I’d love to connect.

Most technical founders can build. Most product managers can strategize. Few can do both, and fewer still have shipped production-grade platforms across 5+ industries.
I'm a Product and Engineering Lead with a track record of taking ideas from whiteboard to production. Combining deep technical execution with business-level thinking shaped by Masters degrees from USC (Computer Science) and UT Austin's McCombs School of Business.
As co-founder and CTO of Kalpanecha Karkhana, I've spearheaded the innovation roadmap and launched 3+ production-grade platforms, including:
1. A Feature-as-a-Service compatibility intelligence engine built for B2B matchmaking platforms
2. A centralized TV infrastructure system managing 350+ hospitality screens remotely from a single server
3. A real-time speech translation wearable supporting 50+ languages — eliminating language barriers in customer-facing environments
Before that, I:
* Helped raise $3.5M in seed funding at Claira Technologies as an early engineering leader, scaling the platform from 0 to 10,000 users
* Reduced manual media routing effort by ~65% at TMT Insights through core backend architecture work
* Built large-scale file transfer pipelines handling ~150,000 files averaging ~30GB each
* Developed BIOS-level middleware deployed across ~25M Dell devices annually
I think in revenue, architecture, and scale simultaneously. I don't just build what you ask for, I help you figure out what's worth building.
I can help you with:
* 0→1 Product Strategy & MVP Design
* Technical Architecture & Backend System Design
* B2B SaaS Platform Development
* AI/Algorithm-Driven Product Systems
* Fractional CTO / Product Leadership
If you need someone who can own both the vision and the execution, I'd love to hear about what you're working on.
