About Me
Who I am
Product
Product Manager at Microsoft Teams — working across AI, community, and global growth. I lead with problems, insights, and tradeoffs, not feature lists.
Builder
CS background, builder by temperament. When I'm exploring an idea, I'd rather sketch it as a working prototype than write it up — it gives both of us something real to react to.
Human
HCI from Georgia Tech, and obsessed with people and their stories. Inspired by Yes Theory to seek discomfort and bet on myself. I co-founded Product Buds (a global community for aspiring PMs) and create as @darshdigs.
What I’m passionate about
Connecting people — whether through a product, a sound, or a shared experience. It’s the throughline in everything I build and everything I do outside of work.
My product ethos
Start from the human problem, not the feature list. Get to a real prototype fast, so the idea has something to react to. Keep enough curiosity in the process that the work stays fun. That’s why this site opens with a playable instrument — it’s the thesis, not a toy.
