Hello, I'm Vignesh
A small trove of media I’ve collected since the early 2000s. Slightly updated, but still very much a work in progress
Since I'm utterly incapable of remembering
character names in films, I decided the sensible
course of action is to develop a CNN model and train it on 40,000+ simpson character images- just to point at the screen and say, “That’s Homer.”
A statistical approach to identify what makes a game successful in the market.
A keras sequential model to classify and categorise youtube videos based on their title and description.
Analysed the PolySomnoGraphic sleep
recordings to extract EEG using CNN and
transformers trained using distributed training
using Elephas to predict the hypnogram
scores.
There is a saying in management circles, usually uttered with an air of gravitas: “What gets measured, gets managed.” The problem, of course, is that what gets measured also tends to be mercilessly optimised, often until the very soul of the product has been wrung out and replaced with a dashboard-friendly husk.
Left unattended, everything falls apart. Buildings crumble, gardens grow weeds, and filing cabinets (digital or otherwise) descend into chaos. Products are no different. Entropy - the natural tendency toward disorder - is not just a law of physics; it is a law of product design
Product management is often described in verbs: build, ship, iterate, launch. Action is celebrated. Activity is rewarded. The PM who stands still is quickly suspected of professional negligence. Yet in the long history of products, some of the wisest decisions have involved doing absolutely nothing at all
The user never saw it, but still complained.
When people think about what shapes a product, they usually point to features, design choices, or technical frameworks. Rarely do they consider culture. Yet culture - the unspoken rules, habits, and values of the team - quietly seeps into every release
I’m an Indian he/him - driven by curiosity, poor wordplay, and a lingering concern that most systems I use are barely clinging on with duct tape and a polite lie.
