My Journey

Mission Statement

Empowering organizations to unlock the full potential of their data through purpose-driven product innovation, AI-powered insights, and enterprise-scale intelligence platforms.

With 15+ years across fintech, mobility, retail, and SaaS, I combine deep technical expertise with strategic leadership to solve complex business problems and deliver scalable value—driven by curiosity, fueled by data, and centered around impact.


From launching secure enterprise platforms to leading AI and data analytics initiatives at a Fortune 100 bank, my journey has been defined by building, scaling, and transforming digital products that create measurable business impact.

At U.S. Bank, I lead enterprise-wide business intelligence and data strategies that power decision-making across Payments Services. I oversee a comprehensive BI ecosystem—data marts, reporting platforms, and semantic models—designed as the single source of truth across customer, partner, and product domains. I drive data governance, foster enterprise adoption, and collaborate closely with Data Science and Marketing to optimize pricing models and Customer Lifetime Value analytics.

We're also advancing artificial intelligence capabilities for deeper, real-time data interpretation, enabling interactive visualizations and decision intelligence frameworks that turn data into strategic action.

Born and raised in Singapore, I moved to Atlanta to study Electrical Engineering at Georgia Tech. That leap introduced me to the world of ethical hacking, applied research, and start-up grit—experiences that still shape how I lead product and data initiatives today. I’ve thrived in both fast-paced startups and large-scale enterprise environments, finding my sweet spot where strategy, innovation, and technology intersect.


What I Build & Why

From predictive analytics to secure mobile SDKs and connected IoT ecosystems, I have always gravitated toward solving real-world problems through tech-enabled platforms. Some of my recent focus areas:

  • AI-augmented BI platforms for enterprise reporting and decisioning

  • Rules Engine & Incident Management tools tailored for SMBs

  • BLE & LoRa IoT sensor platforms for asset tracking in commercial spaces

  • Digital Experience Layering for retail and restaurant engagement via beacon technologies


Community & Mentorship

I love giving back. Whether it's mentoring entrepreneurs at Atlanta Tech Village, participating in Startup Weekend and AngelHack, or advising early-stage founders through platforms like Pullup—I’m passionate about helping others grow, just as I was helped.


Projects & Hackathons

Some of my favorite moments come from weekend sprints solving everyday challenges:

  • AngelHack ATL: Co-built D Cubed Printing, a platform connecting users with 3D print services (Runner-up using PayPal API)

  • Startup Weekend: BreakRoom – a lunch automation solution integrating GrubHub and Splitwise APIs

  • Tagiture: A social feed aggregator built on Django and Bootstrap, featured at #atlsw

Testimonials

Gopi is a very skilled Program Manager who helped us set up on agile from scratch. He has a good ability to decouple a value stream and identify the issues. Gopi is a great peer and lead who makes sure everyone stays on track and clears hinderances for his team to achieve everyone’s objectives. Gopi has helped us streamline a lot of processes and made them efficient. Besides project management, Gopi is always keen in learning about technologies and is able to steer the team in the right direction because of his unique perspective.
I wish him the best for all his future roles, and I’m certain that he will do great.

Gopi is one of very rare breed of Product Managers who gives very keen attention to detail. He is a master in utilising the resources allocated to him and has a foresight to see the shape of the product before it is built. I was handling the iOS team at Nuvizz and he shared excellent rapport with all my direct reports. According to them, he was always very receptive to developer’s concerns and was the go-to person whenever there was a roadblock. He is very down to earth & straight forward person who shatters the hierarchy and focuses on getting the things done rather than trying to be politically correct. I have worked with him closely on Workllama and we have had lot of heated brainstorming sessions in which we have taken quite a lot of learnings forward in good spirit!! I recommend Gopi for his strong work ethics, highly competent product management skills and clairvoyance in shaping the long term product vision. I wish him success for all his future endeavours.

One of the enduring images I have of Gopi was when he was caught in a very hard situation between competing business units and their needs and the user experience requirements. He had a big wide smile the whole time trying to come to the best possible solution for all parties. He was an excellent collaborative partner with a full understanding of the online landscape. I’m very glad to have worked alongside him at one of the best online retail shops in the world.

I worked directly with Gopi on multiple projects at AirWatch. He always acted as the voice of the team and provided cover so members could focus on their tasks. As a product manager, he focuses on the team as a whole - balancing workloads, encouraging feedback from developers, and heralding accomplishments from every team member. He is a major force in holding up the team’s morale. On many occasions I have seen Gopi make hard tradeoffs, that have been proved to have been for the better of the product.
— JJ Manton, VP of Engineering, Airia - Enterprise AI Simplified
I had the opportunity to work with Gopi while working on the Secure Content Locker Solutions for Airwatch for a couple of mobile OS Platforms. I was highly impressed by Gopi’s attention to the product development cycle and the way he managed the development while also taking care of requirements that came in from business. He always found a way to get the right balance from the business as well as development side in how the product should be developed. He managed deadlines and developers with ease and ensured that all the stakeholders in the product were happy with the shape the product took. I would definitely recommend him as a Product Manager with keen sense of timing, expectation management and attention to interpersonal relations.

I had the pleasure to work with Gopi during the DP-360 product development. Gopi was in charge of developing and maintaining regression software platform to enable automatic testing of DP-360. Gopi did an exceptional job to improve continuously Labview regression software. This regression software is a fairly complex tool that controls remotely CMTS, Cable Modems, DP-360s and goes through testcases and outputs a summary report of pass/fail status for each testcases.

Gopi did an excellent job to extend this DP-360 regression software to include production line testing. This enabled faster verification of DP-360 on the production line as multiple DUTs could be tested in parallel. Gopi was also always ready to help customer with questions on DP-360 or other products at Averna. Gopi is a talented engineer with a solid software background; I would not hesitate to work with him again.
