How I Build Products

From insight to impact

A simple product process I use to move from ambiguity to shipped outcomes.

Tap a card to explore a stage.

01

Problem Discovery

I frame the real problem before jumping to solutions — aligning users, stakeholders, and constraints.

02

User Research

I listen for patterns in feedback and behavior so decisions reflect how people actually work.

03

Product Strategy

I prioritize by impact and feasibility, then define a focused MVP with clear requirements.

04

Execution & Collaboration

I partner closely with engineering and design to keep delivery aligned with product intent.

05

Iteration & Impact

I treat launch as the start — reviewing signals and iterating toward better outcomes.

The Person Behind the Product

Product-focused. Technically grounded. Built through leadership.

I'm Atiksha, a Computer Science senior at San Francisco State University focused on building products at the intersection of technology, AI, and user experience.

My engineering background taught me how products get built. Product management is where I enjoy connecting user needs, technical constraints, and business priorities to decide what should be built — and why.

Outside the classroom, I've taken on roles across product, teaching, and student leadership that have strengthened how I communicate, collaborate, and lead across different groups.
