Aravind Ramasamy

Product Leader, Creative designer
based in Ontario, Canada

Over 10 years of professional experience as a product leader, leveraging management and design to achieve business and customer goals.

In my most recent roles as a Senior Product Manager, in the healthcare space, my focus has been re-envisioning healthcare delivery and enabling a paradigm shift towards a more patient centric, data driven and value-based approach to the medical practice.

Life-long learner, constantly humbled by the wisdom of many.

Let me properly introduce you to...

An Identity

For Everyone

Manager by choice, adopted by design, engineer by qualification, and a generalist at heart. Over a decade of experience working in diverse environments, on enterprise and consumer facing digital products across healthcare, CRM, ERP, and SCP solutions.

To one
and all

As a leader I believe in leading by example and inspiring people that work with me to learn and get out of their comfort zone to be the best version of themselves.

As a designer I'm a generalist, a systems thinker with broad skills from strategy & blue-sky thinking to prototyping, a fast learner who enjoys tackling complexity.

Recruiters

Senior product manager with 10 years of experience in brand and product at companies big and small, currently seeking new opportunities.

Senior Leadership

I take pride in my craft, and love mentoring earlier career designers. I develop cross functional partnerships, and thrive in complex, ambiguous environments.

Product
Designers

I’m a systems thinker with a high bar for quality. From process to pixels, I’ll collaborate with you, learn from you, and help make something we’re proud of.

Innovating with purpose, designing to solve real problems, combining functionality, aesthetics, and user experience to deliver solutions that users love and businesses rely on.

Product
Managers

I bring end-to-end product acumen, from vision and strategy to discovery and delivery. I’ll partner closely with you to generate the highest impact possible.

Engineers

I’m {highly_technical} and while (I’m ≠ writing code) I know my way /around & can speak “fluently” with you; I built (this.site) after all.

ESSENTIALLY

What's MY JOB

Helping you achieve your business goals by best engaging the user’s mind and senses.

Strategy

That is Data-Driven for measurable growth.

Crafting data-driven strategies to elevate your market presence. I align your business goals with innovative digital solutions, ensuring measurable growth and a competitive edge in the digital landscape.

In today’s fast-paced digital world, having a clear and actionable strategy is key to standing out. I specialize in crafting data-driven digital strategies tailored to your unique business goals.

Whether you’re looking to grow your online presence, improve customer engagement, or drive conversions, I work closely with you to identify opportunities and create a roadmap for success. From audience analysis and competitive research to defining KPIs and optimizing digital channels, I ensure your strategy is not only innovative but also measurable and results-oriented.

Let’s turn your vision into a digital reality.

Leadership & Collaboration

Product Management is a team sport

I help translate business strategy into product roadmaps by facilitating collaborative, in-depth conversations with leadership and clients, as well as liaison with engineers to design a great experience.

Continually find ways to improve design working model, and collaborate with engineers and PMs for better process standardizations.

Efficient communication is key to productive and fulfilling relationships in a workplace. I walk that talk.

Vision & Product Logic

Software Products that captivate & convert.

I am a creative thinker and an avid problem solver, my mind can rest only when all the pieces fall in the right place.

Highly competent in working with complexity, systemic thinking, and putting structure to unorganized ideas, with a keen ability to look at the grand picture, create abstracted models, and also zoom in on the most granular details of a solution.

Be it a system variable or a pixel on the screen.

Product Design

Purposeful design, impactful solutions.

I am passionate about pixels and no-code. To me, design is a problem solving activity. As a designer, I understand that the perfect design not only involves visual aesthetics, but even more importantly, an interface that functions well.

This requires a deep understanding of human behavior and psychology - the outcome of which greatly impacts the overall experience of the product, regardless of the platform.

I personally enjoy working on projects that require both strategy as well as visual design. I love working on problems from the ideation stage and seeing them through completion through pixel-perfect designs, by which I am able to move among the process from user research to designing to shipping and analyzing results.

UI / UX Design

Seamless design, engaging experiences.

I care about software that stands for something, that has an opinion, that chooses a side.

Software that makes you feel something - feel part of something.
Software that tells you something about the people who created it.

Always trying to marry the artistic with the useful.

An intelligent digital assistant like this application, gives you relevant information, saving time and helping improve diagnostic decisions
