PROBLEM SOLVER   /   PRODUCT BUILDER

Hi, I'm Sarthak.
I turn problems
into products.

I'm a lawyer turned product builder. I find hard problems and build the products that fix them, end to end.

01 / MY STORY

How I got here.

My background is a little unconventional. I'm a trained lawyer, and law taught me to work through ambiguity, evidence and constraints. Then I spent time at a startup incubator, watching founders turn problems into products, and that's what pulled me into building them myself.

To get better at it, I earned an MBA in Business Analytics from the University of South Florida, then worked as Associate Director at Stetson University College of Law, helping law students find their way into their careers.

The problems I care about most are the ones where people get stuck in messy information: finding the right legal career, trusting a research finding, designing a home. Today I build products for those problems. Here's what I'm working on.
