Naren Krishna

Senior Product & Operations Leader · ships AI products on the side

I build systems that fix things. I bring structure to chaos. And drama.

The thread in every job, side project, and weekend build: find the signal nobody named, ship the system that handles it, then make sure it actually lands. Docs are easy. Adoption is the work.

Roles I shine in: Product Operations · AI Product Manager · Customer Support Strategy · Deployment Strategy · Cloud Alliance Manager
Where I've shipped
EarnIn

Currently leading Product Operations and Customer Care Strategy at EarnIn (12M+ users). 12 years prior across Meta (Creator Monetization, ~8% of revenue), Apple, Deloitte (Strategy & Operations), Microsoft, and Ericsson. MBA, IIM Lucknow. CS, IIT Madras.

Projects

6 projects

pzle.day

pzle

A daily 4×4 grouping puzzle with AI-themed words. Solving reveals the hidden theme behind the 16 terms and recommends one paper to read, turning the game into a daily AI literacy ritual. One Claude call per day, edge-cached for millions of plays at ~$1.50/month.

Paper Radar

paper-radar

Daily arXiv tracker that scores ML papers by real-world traction. Tracks GitHub repos building on each paper, citation velocity, and time-decayed shipping signals, instead of just summarizing abstracts. Two-tier LLM pipeline: Haiku classifies 150 papers daily, Sonnet writes narratives for the top 10.

StackMap

stackmap

A living architecture explorer for the AI ecosystem. Maps companies as blocks, organized into 12 layers, connected by typed wires, assembled dynamically around the solution someone is shipping. Stays alive via a five-agent pipeline (Scout, Classifier, Comparator, Synthesizer, Auditor), each with its own eval cohort.

Digital Twin

digital-twin

An AI alter-ego platform. Upload your resume, docs, and links to build a private knowledge base, then chat with an agent that represents you. Includes PII detection, per-user RLS, and an MCP server so other agents can talk to your twin.

NYBF — Not Your Best Friend

nybf

A companion chat product with multiple personas (Partner, Big Sibling, Friend). The interesting half is the autonomous eval loop: simulated user agents stress-test the app, a product-head agent triages findings, a dev agent writes code diffs, a QA agent re-simulates to validate, all in one command.

Social Media Content Generation Pipeline

social-media-pipeline

Fully autonomous daily social-content pipeline. A scheduled n8n trigger kicks off a Mastra workflow that generates copy with Claude, synthesizes images and videos in Python, then publishes via the Publer API. Zero human touch per post. Runs on a private host, not a Next.js app.

How I work

The loop I run

01

I find signal others miss.

Patterns in data, conversations, and systems that other people walk past. The unnamed thing is usually where the leverage is.

02

I build the system that acts on it.

Not a deck. The actual pipeline, classifier, workflow, or metric framework that turns the insight into a behavior change.

03

I make sure it lands.

Adoption is designed in, not bolted on at launch. Every team that has to live with the system actually uses it.

When the path is unclear

I run on a Rumsfeld matrix, known unknowns versus unknown unknowns. Three steps that survive every project:

  1. 01
    Map what you know and don't know.
    Knowns, known unknowns, and the blindspots. Write them down before deciding anything.
  2. 02
    Bias toward cheap experiments.
    Test with a small cohort before any full rollout. Cheap is the point.
  3. 03
    Measure as you go.
    Validate assumptions weekly, not at the end. Most plans are wrong by week 2.
Off the keyboard
💃
I dance.

Choreography, freestyle, and the occasional reel that goes harder than it should.

I'm a student pilot.

Training is currently paused, but the logbook is open. Single-engine, VFR.

🛠️
I prototype with Claude Code.

Most weekend builds below get from idea to shipped in 1-2 sittings. The compression is real.
