Hey, I'm Saksham.
I work across product, strategy, and whatever needs solving. I like starting from scratch, figuring out what actually matters, then building from there. I've played every role from research to launch, sometimes all at once.
I started as a content writer at 16, and the past 5 years have taken me through consumer research, product, growth, and close work with founders at a startup or two (one shut down, life goes on). Fast, ambiguous situations are where I tend to do my best work.
