Hello there 👋
I’m Goutham. Product Manager at Arattai by day, tinkerer and aspiring writer by night. Novelty has always been both my strength and my weakness, so I jump around a lot. Lately AI has helped me have something to show for all that jumping. This is my digital garden, where I grow my ideas at their own pace.
Recent thoughts
Around the garden
Notes → short-form thinking. Seedlings, half-baked ideas, the occasional evergreen. Try why most builders quit before solving the problem or the PM trait everyone claims and few define.
Essays → long-form pieces I’ve actually finished. security mentality for the agentic era, how Figma rewired how I think about design.
Projects → things I’ve built, usually in a single sprint. Latest: Better Connect.
Stream → the loosest rung. Half-formed things, stuff I read, fragments that aren’t notes yet.
Outside work
When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me:
- building things that make my life a little better
- obsessing over Dungeons & Dragons more than is strictly defensible
- trying to write more about product, life, and how both follow surprisingly similar physics
- printing something obnoxiously specific on my 3D printer because apparently that’s my hobby now
- working through the pile of articles in my Instapaper, which I keep filling with a little CLI I built for it
