Hello!

I'm Uma Ramanathan

Exploring AI tooling and applications

Product Manager with 15+ years across product design, UX delivery and data platforms in healthcare, banking and enterprise software projects, specializing in product discovery, Lean UX, and rapid prototyping backed by hands-on data analytics. This archive reflects that range — from UX audits and product strategy to ML prototypes and agentic AI systems — as I explore use cases for GenAI, model interpretability, and AI-enhanced product design.

How I Work Across the Product Spectrum

I work across the full product lifecycle from understanding users in the field, to prototyping experiences, to designing data and AI architectures, to specifying agentic systems for enterprise contexts. My strength is connecting human-centred design, quantitative product intelligence, and AI solution design into one coherent product story.

User insight Prototype experiences Measure & model Identify AI opportunities Architect integrations Specify agentic AI
Layer 1

Discover & Research

Find the real product failure not just the reported symptom.

problem discovery, journey mapping, stakeholder workshops, PLG diagnosis, and UX audits.

e.g. Compliance Management redesign · Website teardown
Layer 2

Define & Prototype

Make the solution tangible before engineering commits.

Interaction design, prototypes, product discovery, and roadmap prioritisation.

e.g. NoMoBo compliance UX · Proof Space · Pet Me
Layer 3

Measure & Model

Turn behaviour into decisions like KPIs, forecasts, and risk signals.

PLG analytics, statistical analysis, ML prototypes, interactive dashboards, and decision-support models that link product metrics to outcomes.

e.g. Compliance PLG metrics · Credit risk ML · Haggis Hopper
Layer 4

Identify AI Opportunities

Decide where AI adds value like and where it should not.

Map user friction and operational bottlenecks to automation opprotunities, define autonomy boundaries, and scope AI against business KPIs before solution design begins.

e.g. Compliance Field Copilot scope · IROPS airline case study
Layer 5

Architect Data & Integrations

Specify how products connect to real enterprise systems.

API and integration architecture, event-driven triggers, data platform thinking, requirements documentation, and acceptance criteria for technical delivery.

e.g. Airline integration architecture · Banking remediation concept
Layer 6

Design Agentic & Conversational AI

Specify AI that acts safely in high-stakes workflows.

Intent libraries, conversation flows, voice UX, guardrails, escalation logic, and multi-agent orchestration specs for enterprise deployment.

e.g. ARIA airline agent · Compliance Field Copilot · DORA DevOps Copilot
