AASHISH JAGINI · FRISCO, TX
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.
Section II · Recent writing
What I'm writing about.
Managing 30–50 things across five product areas without the fragmentation tax — an AI-assisted operating layer that separates PM actions from team deliverables.
Finding the bug was easy. Proving I'd fixed it nearly fooled me — a lesson in trusting decision-time logs over replay.
