PM at McKinsey. Builder of small things that ship.

I'm Aashish — an engineer who became a PM. At McKinsey I own a portfolio of enterprise products and shipped the firm's first production GenAI agents. On the side I build small things that ship: a self-hosted AI memory I use every day, and a few essays a year on PM and AI tooling.

Section I · The thing on my desk

I built a memory my AI tools can read.

Brain is a self-hosted memory server running on a Mac Mini in my home office. It runs hybrid search over my Obsidian vault and 2,400+ OCR'd PDFs — SQLite FTS5 plus vector embeddings, reranked — and every AI tool I use (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT) reads from it through MCP. It costs $0 a month.

The bet: in 2026, the cheapest edge is a memory your AI tools can search. I built mine. It costs nothing.

If something here resonates.

I'm always up for conversations with PMs and operators building on top of LLMs. The best way to reach me is imajhere@gmail.com.
