Ankit Kumar

Product Manager || ❤️ System Design || ✍️ Python

I’m Ankit Kumar, a product-first builder with a deep belief in solving real human problems through AI and simplicity.

As the founder of Hiron AI, I built and scaled an AI-driven hiring ecosystem that removed outdated job boards and reimagined how candidates get discovered. The product was successfully acquired, and the journey gave me full-stack experience in zero-to-one product strategy, user-centric design, and technical execution.

💡 What I do today
I help teams design better products, with strong research, tight execution, and a ruthless focus on value. Whether I’m mentoring engineers, contributing to AI product development, or helping early teams craft their first case studies and MVPs, I keep the user at the center of every decision.

🛠️ Core skills
• Building and scaling AI-first B2B/B2C products
• Deep involvement in product research, prototyping & GTM
• Leading cross-functional teams (PM, Design, Engineering)
• Staying hands-on: Python • LLMs • Cloud • ML

👨‍🏫 I also mentor aspiring PMs, product engineers, and founders, not with fluff, but by sharing real playbooks from the trenches.

If you're building something meaningful or looking for someone who’s shipped, scaled, and sold product, let’s connect.

🚨 Product Managers, Builders & AI Curious Folks, this might be the most practical AI session you attend this month.

And surprisingly… very few people are talking about it. 👀

OpenAI is hosting a FREE beginner-friendly workshop on Codex their AI coding agent and it could completely change how you approach building products. 🚀

Let’s clear something up first. 👇

Codex isn’t just another “AI coding helper”.
Most AI tools today work like this:
You write instructions → the tool responds.
Simple.
But Codex is different.

It’s designed to understand intent, not just commands.
Which means instead of micromanaging code, you can collaborate with AI to actually build things faster.

That’s a massive shift for how product teams and engineers work together.
In this beginner-friendly session, the OpenAI team will walk through:
✅ What Codex actually is (no technical jargon)
✅ How teams are already using it to ship faster
✅ Why Product Managers should understand AI coding agents
✅ How non-developers can collaborate better with engineering teams using AI

If you care about staying relevant in the AI era, this is one of those sessions you shouldn’t miss.

📅 Session Date: 28th February
Spots are limited.

Security Data Engineer @Just Eat Takeaway| Ex-bigspark, PayU| Mentor @ Learnbay| Women Health | Mental Health

I bridge two worlds: data engineering and developer advocacy.
I’ve spent years building secure and scalable systems at companies like Ford, Just Eat, and PayU, and I’ve learned that the real value comes from sharing those lessons with others. That’s why I use my LinkedIn platform to connect with CTOs, founders, and dev teams, making complex topics simple and actionable.

What sets me apart is that I’m not just speaking about theory. My work is rooted in hands-on engineering, which means the stories and insights I share are tested in real-world environments.

Alongside my engineering role, I create content and conversations for developers, founders, and technical leaders—on LinkedIn, in podcasts, and at events. My focus remains the same: to make complex technical topics clear, relevant, and actionable.

I also collaborate with brands, startups, and event organisers who want authentic voices to connect with developers. Whether it’s representing a company as an advocate, creating thought leadership content, or speaking at industry events, I aim to bring credibility and trust to every partnership.

Looking ahead, I am growing my presence as a tech evangelist and speaker in the B2B and developer-first space—building meaningful connections with leaders and communities that share the same commitment to clarity, trust, and innovation.

If you are a brand, founder, or event organiser seeking a credible and authentic voice at the intersection of engineering and advocacy, I would be glad to connect.

At some point in your data career, you realize something uncomfortable:

Being busy is easy.
Being impactful is rare.

I’ve seen teams celebrate:

Shipping 12 dashboards in a quarter.
Migrating to a new data stack.
Closing every Jira ticket in the sprint.
Deploying yet another model to production.

On paper, it looks impressive.

But then you ask one simple question:

“What changed because of this?”

Silence.

No decision improved.
No cost reduced.
No revenue influenced.
No behavior shifted.

That’s when it clicks.

Data work has two layers:

Layer 1 → Build artifacts.
Layer 2 → Change outcomes.

Most professionals optimize for Layer 1.
The best ones design for Layer 2.

A dashboard isn’t success.
A better decision is.

A model isn’t impact.
Adoption is.

A pipeline isn’t value.
Reliability that unlocks trust is.

If you want to become essential — not just employed — start measuring differently:

• Time-to-decision
• Decision quality
• Adoption rate
• Business movement
• Trust in data

Outputs keep you busy.
Outcomes build influence.

So here’s the real question:

When your work ships…
what actually moves?

Curious what’s the one metric you personally use to define success in data?

I recently finished reading 𝐏𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 by Maaike van Putten and Imke van Putten and I wanted to share a few thoughts.

As a cat person, I’ll admit…

The illustrated format immediately caught my attention 🐾

You don’t often see technical books lean this intentionally into visual storytelling. It’s very different from the typical dense, 500-page programming manual.

And that’s exactly the point.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥
It’s clearly designed for:
• Beginners
• Visual learners
• People who feel overwhelmed by traditional coding books

𝐈𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐏𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐛𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩:
→ Environment setup & terminal basics
→ Variables & data types
→ Control flow & loops
→ Collections
→ Functions
→ File handling
→ Object-oriented programming & inheritance
→ Debugging

The structure is sequential and intentional.

Each chapter builds on the previous one.
And importantly it includes exercises and quizzes.

Because learning to code isn’t about reading.

It’s about doing.
What I appreciated most
The tone is light.

But the technical explanations are accurate and aligned with modern Python 3 practices.

And debugging is treated as a skill in its own right not just a footnote.

That matters.

Most beginners struggle not because syntax is hard…
But because they don’t know how to think when something breaks.

𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐢𝐬 (𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭) 𝐟𝐨𝐫
This is not a book about:
• Production-scale engineering
• System design
• Data architecture

It’s a fundamentals book.

It helps someone build clarity.
Confidence.
And mental models.

And honestly, we underestimate how important that stage is.

Strong fundamentals create strong engineers.

If you’re new to programming  or you learn better visually than through long blocks of text  this is worth exploring:

1 in 10 women worldwide live with endometriosis.
That’s around 190 million women.

Many of them are sitting in meetings right now.
Joining stand-ups.
Leading teams.
Writing code.
Presenting to clients.

And most people around them have no idea what they’re going through.

Endometriosis is not “just bad cramps.”

It can mean:
* Chronic pelvic pain
* Debilitating fatigue
* Brain fog
* Hormonal struggles
* Fertility challenges
* Years of delayed diagnosis

For many women, the pain can be so severe it feels impossible to stand — yet they still show up to work.

They smile through meetings.
Deliver deadlines.
Lead projects.

All while their body is fighting a battle that remains largely invisible.

And often, when they do speak up, they hear things like:
“Maybe it’s just stress.”
“It’s normal period pain.”
“Take a painkiller.”

But the truth is - it’s not normal.

It’s a serious condition that affects not just health, but careers, confidence, and everyday life.

So today, I want to give a shoutout to every woman living and working with endometriosis.

To the women pushing through the pain.
To the women advocating for their health.
To the women who refuse to let this condition define their potential.

Your resilience is extraordinary.

And to workplaces and leaders everywhere:

Let’s build cultures where women feel safe talking about health challenges.

Where empathy is not seen as weakness.

And where invisible illnesses are acknowledged, not dismissed.
Because strength isn’t just showing up when everything is easy.
Sometimes strength is simply showing up despite the pain.

To all the endometriosis warriors out there 
we see you, we respect you, and we stand with you.

❤️
