Software Engineer & Product Thinker

Chaitrali
Kore

I build at the intersection of engineering depth and product clarity, with a focus on AI-powered products. I break down real products through a PM lens, because I believe the best product people don't just build, they communicate, and I bring the same clarity to the code as I do to the thinking behind it. If you're building something ambitious, let's talk.

About Me

Engineering depth,
product clarity

I'm an Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering graduate from Cummins College of Engineering, Pune, building a career at the intersection of software engineering and product thinking. My work spans full-stack web development, AI/ML systems, and cloud-native backends, and I reach for whichever combination solves the real problem fastest. I write AI Product Insights, a biweekly LinkedIn newsletter where I break down products through a PM lens, now read by 280+ subscribers. Beyond building, I've led 10+ large-scale events as PR & Management Head at Mozilla Campus Club, sharpening how I manage stakeholders and make data-backed calls. What sets me apart is the ability to zoom out to the product question and zoom back into implementation detail, often in the same conversation. I'm currently open to product engineering and APM roles where I can keep doing both.

Mission

To build technology that solves real friction points, shipping fast without cutting corners on quality or user experience.

Vision

To grow into a product leader who bridges the gap between engineering teams and customer outcomes, at scale.
