TEJAS VENKATESH

Product Enthusiast & Technology Innovator

I’m a Product Manager who treats product development like a team sport. I combine creative problem-solving with rigorous market research to call the right plays, leading cross-functional teams from kick-off to the final whistle. While I obsess over the smallest details (because the game is won in the margins), I focus on empowering my teammates to score. I bring the strategy of a coach, the energy of a fan, and I promise to keep the halftime speeches short.

Projects

Check Mate

May 2026 – June 2026

AI market-intelligence platform tracking 8 industries — fully automated and always up to date.

Evolved a single-domain BESS tracker into an AI-powered market intelligence platform spanning 8 industries, auto-categorizing articles into competitor, innovation, and policy buckets — each tagged with an impact rating to surface what actually matters.

Runs fully automatically, continuously scanning sources so every industry digest stays up to date without manual intervention.

Engineered a multi-provider LLM pipeline (Groq, OpenRouter, Cerebras) with fallback handling for rate limits and API errors, keeping the digest running reliably on free-tier infrastructure.

Added an "Ask AI" feature letting users query the corpus conversationally instead of manually combing through sources.

SmartReview-AI

July 2026

Turns customer reviews into ranked actions — sentiment, recurring issues, and a suggested reply for each.

Built an AI-powered tool that turns a pile of customer reviews into decisions — scoring sentiment, surfacing recurring issues, and producing a ranked action queue with a suggested reply for every review.

Auto-tags recurring problems across quality, shipping, sizing, safety, pricing, and service, then ranks the reviews that need a response first so teams tackle what matters most.

Added drill-down analytics — click any KPI to see the reviews behind it, plus word clouds and sentiment trends.

Ships with a realistic 180-review sample and supports CSV upload, replacing manual spreadsheet triage and hours of reading reviews by hand.

ArchLab

July 2026

Interactive way to learn system design by taking real architectures apart and seeing what breaks.

Built an interactive way to learn system design by taking real architectures apart — open a proven design, click any component to see why it was built that way, then swap a piece and watch what breaks.

Explains trade-offs in plain language — the same ones an interviewer actually asks about — with every explanation hand-written and fact-checked, not guessed by an AI.

Ships opinionated reference designs across domains — ticket & slot booking, social media feeds, e-commerce checkout, and live betting exchanges — each showing the downstream cascade of a single decision.

Includes a quiz mode (predict before you reveal), back-of-envelope estimation, and cross-domain patterns that transfer between problems.

Surfaced CAFV eligibility insights showing 68% of analyzed EVs qualified for clean-fuel incentive status, alongside an average emissions reduction of 4.6 metric tons CO₂ per vehicle annually.

Designed geographic heat maps, time-series adoption trends, and interactive filters that cut EV buyer research time from hours to minutes.
