About Me

Product Manager & UI/UX Strategist with a passion for creating impactful digital experiences

My Journey

I'm a passionate Product Manager and UI/UX Strategist with a unique blend of technical expertise and design thinking. My journey began as a UI/UX Engineer, where I discovered my love for creating user-centered experiences that drive business growth.

With over 5 years of experience across FinTech, gaming, and crypto trading, I've evolved into a strategic product leader who understands both the technical and business aspects of digital product development.

My approach combines data-driven insights with human-centered design principles, allowing me to create intuitive, high-impact experiences that serve millions of users while meeting strategic business objectives.

What Drives Me

I believe that great products are built at the intersection of user needs, business goals, and technical feasibility. My background in both design and development gives me a unique perspective that helps bridge the gap between creative vision and technical implementation.

My Philosophy

Every design decision should be backed by data and user research. I combine quantitative analytics with qualitative insights to create experiences that not only look great but also perform exceptionally well.

Knowledge Sharing

Beyond my professional work, I'm passionate about sharing knowledge and insights with the tech community. I run a YouTube channel called "Krishna The Tech Monk" where I discuss technology trends, design principles, product development strategies, and share my experiences in the industry. This platform allows me to contribute to the broader tech ecosystem while staying connected with emerging trends and community feedback.
