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As the founder of Hiron AI, I built and scaled an AI-driven hiring ecosystem that removed outdated job boards and reimagined how candidates get discovered.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.

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.
