Hey, I'm Praveen. INTJ, apparently.
I've always wanted to know why things are the way they are. Not how. Why. What someone was optimizing for. What they gave up. Why this way and not another.
I'm obsessed with tiny houses. How every inch is intentional, how constraints force better decisions.
People fascinate me. How habits form. How behavior shifts when the context around it changes. What someone intends to do versus what they actually do. That gap is where most of the interesting work lives.
I care about what I make. Not just that it ships, that it's right. I work best when there's enough ownership to see something through.
Things I admire
Experience
Revamped 8 tools across the platform. Removed 2 tools that users had stopped using entirely. Shipped an AI Statement Reader and Cost Impact Analyzer directly using Claude Code.
After years at a service company across multiple products, I wanted depth. One product. I wanted to go deeper in B2B and fintech space. Finominal was lean, one designer, and the kind of product that takes time to actually understand.
Shipped products across fintech, enterprise software, and career tech. Across the work: 30% faster task completion, 40% fewer support tickets, 80% task completion at launch on a product built for first-time users.
I wanted to find where I thrive. In large orgs the gap between ideation and execution is enormous. I wanted to work somewhere that gap didn't exist, where my job wasn't limited to my role.
