👋 Hi, I'm Ananya Vishnoi

Turning problems into products — from discovery and strategy to execution and production.


👩‍💻 About Me

I'm a Software Engineer and Product Management professional with an engineering background, focused on turning user and business problems into practical, scalable products.

I work across the product lifecycle — from problem discovery, user research, and product strategy to requirements, prioritization, execution, and launch.

My engineering experience allows me to work closely with technical teams and understand the realities behind product decisions, APIs, architecture, data, and implementation.

What I enjoy

  • 🔎 Understanding user problems and finding the right product opportunity
  • 🧩 Turning ambiguous problems into clear product requirements
  • 🗺️ Defining product strategy, roadmaps, and MVPs
  • 🤝 Working across product, engineering, design, and business teams
  • 🤖 Building and exploring AI-powered products
  • 📊 Using data and experiments to improve product decisions
  • 🚀 Taking products from idea → MVP → production → iteration

Product questions

Where are users dropping off?

Which features create the most value?

What should we build next?


📋 How I Approach Product

I generally think about products through this framework:

                 USER PROBLEM
                      ↓
                USER RESEARCH
                      ↓
              PROBLEM VALIDATION
                      ↓
               PRODUCT STRATEGY
                      ↓
              MVP DEFINITION
                      ↓
              PRIORITIZATION
                      ↓
            PRD + USER STORIES
                      ↓
             DESIGN + ENGINEERING
                      ↓
                  LAUNCH
                      ↓
                MEASURE
                      ↓
                ITERATE

The goal isn't simply to build more features.

It's to build the right thing for the right problem.


📈 Product Metrics I Care About

Depending on the product, I focus on metrics across the complete user journey:

Stage Example Metrics
Acquisition Sign-ups, CAC, traffic
Activation Onboarding completion, first-value event
Engagement DAU, WAU, feature adoption
Retention D7, D30, cohort retention
Conversion Trial → Paid, user → customer
Revenue MRR, ARR, ARPU, LTV
Product Quality Error rate, satisfaction, task success
Product Outcome Successful matches, completed workflows, business impact

🧠 Product Principles

01 — Start with the problem

Don't start with a feature.

Start with understanding why the problem exists.

02 — Build the smallest useful thing

An MVP should validate the most important assumption, not contain every possible feature.

03 — Make product decisions explainable

Every major product decision should have a reason behind it.

04 — Data informs decisions

Metrics don't replace product judgment, but they make assumptions testable.

05 — AI should solve a real problem

AI isn't a feature by itself.

The question is:

Does AI create meaningful user or business value here?

06 — Product and engineering should work together

Strong products come from close collaboration between users, product, design, and engineering.


📚 Product Artifacts

I document product decisions and thinking through:

  • Product Requirement Documents
  • User Personas
  • User Journey Maps
  • Competitive Analysis
  • Product Roadmaps
  • Feature Prioritization
  • User Stories
  • Acceptance Criteria
  • Product Metrics
  • Experiment Plans
  • Technical Architecture
  • AI Product Specifications
