VMAI product manager · Bengaluru, India

I ship AI products. I build the agents too.

Product leader with 10+ years across B2B SaaS, FinTech, retail and e-commerce. I take products from zero to one, and I write the LangGraph, RAG and MCP code myself. I also publish two newsletters: one on how software gets built with agents, one on money counted in loose change.

Agents I build in public.

Product work is my day job. These repos are where I test the ideas: evidence-first discovery, corrective RAG and tool-using agents.

Probative

An evidence-grounded, multi-agent product discovery toolkit. It reads your documents, research and delivery history, then writes discovery artefacts in which every claim cites its source or is labelled a hypothesis with a test attached.

It runs as a CLI, an MCP server, a Claude Code plugin and a GitHub Action that critiques the specs a pull request changes. Built phase by phase, in the open from the first commit.

Try it once, nothing to undo
$ uvx probative --version $ uv tool install probative # or inside Claude Code /plugin install probative --marketplace vedm1/probative /probative:critique path/to/prd.pdf
House rules
  • Every claim has a source, or it is a hypothesis with a test.
  • Real functional agents, with a critique layer built into the flow.
  • Stories export to Jira and Azure DevOps.
  • Never as tedious as a spec kit nobody keeps up to date.
NLNewsletters

Two newsletters. Every number sourced.

Each one keeps its own identity. I write both, and both are free.

Product Manager, Reverse Engineering

I own an AI product on an agentic software development platform. It reads legacy code (Java, .NET, C/C++, COBOL) into a knowledge graph, and LangGraph agents write specs that teams validate before modernisation. I run proofs of concept on 2M+ line codebases to cut LLM cost per spec.
