Sudheer Pandey

Product manager with hands-on experience gathering customer insights, synthesizing feedback into problem statements, and supporting product roadmaps through structured, data-driven methods. Comfortable working under guidance from senior stakeholders while owning assigned deliverables – from product requirements and launch-readiness documentation to funnel/cohort analysis and dashboard reporting. Builds effective cross-functional relationships with engineering and business teams and communicates technical requirements clearly to both.

Technical Product Manager Co-op at Penn State University (2025-09 – Present)

• Gathered requirements from operations and engineering to understand process gaps, then organized a structured, data-driven roadmap for an automated document ingestion and classification pipeline – cut processing turnaround by 3x and closed gaps causing missed compliance steps.
• Supported assumption testing and validation for a self-serve reporting concept, building and validating a working prototype before full rollout – cut the reporting cycle from 3 business days to under 15 minutes.
• Demonstrated how AI tools can enhance product workflows by designing a multi-agent Microsoft Copilot Studio framework, routing tasks across dedicated agents for knowledge retrieval, document parsing, and workflow execution.
• Collected data through structured stakeholder interviews and organized roadmap activities across 4 development sprints, documenting requirements and baseline KPI frameworks and escalating risks early to reduce integration churn.
