See what I've done Connect With MeAbout Me
I'm Rahul Iyer,
a product manager & entreprenuer with a passion for technology.
Cliché phrase, right? Well, it's the truth. I simply love technology. Whether it's the invention of the Post-it note or learning about how Facebook is connecting the world - I want to know how it's done, why it's done. I want to get my hands on it, be a part of it. I want to know how I can use 'it' to impact someone's life, your life. People are my priority. Technology is my medium.
I'm Atlanta-bred, travel to experience the world, and enjoy the occasional Thai Iced Coffee.
What do I bring to the table?
Leadership
From managing teams as a consultant and product manager, to running a startup - I try to take a leadership position when possible, even if that means leading by following.
Passion
I am extremely passionate about what I do. If I can offer something, I intend on doing it the best I possibly can.
Creativity
I have a knack for going against the norm. I like to take things that have pain points and find the most creative possible solution for them. A prime example being Cheer Straps - a product I created to revolutionize athletes' wrist and grip support.
Simplicity
With all things taken into account, I strongly believe keeping things simple is key. If an intended user has to ask you how to use your product - it probably needs to to be simplified.

Qoins
Visit SiteProduct Manager: Rahul Iyer
Other Stakeholders: Christian Zimmerman, Nate Washington
Client: Qoins
The Goal: Qoins wanted to create a better user experience on their web platform while still ramping up to scale to a mobile iOS launch.
Before: The web platform was a quick and dirty build to enable the onboarding of initial users to test and gain traction. Google Analytics was used to track data, but no action had been taken.
After: The web platform was altered to provide more knowledge around the product offering, giving a more depth to the flow of how users could potentailly use Qoins. In addition, the website was optimized for mobile browsing and a funnel for the mobile app.

Other Stakeholders: Casey Hirschmann, Betirri Bengston
Client: Culture & Cuisine - HTX
The Goal: Hoston, Texas is now the most diverse city in the nation, surpassing New York. It is also one of the most spread out major cities in the U.S. Culture & Cuisine wanted to build a platform that would allow the team to reach people across the city quickly and informatively, in order to drive foot traffic to in-person events.
The Solution: We built a web platform coupled with MailChimp and social media pages, allowing the team to market their events with little to no cost and build a subscription-like model for tickets through email. Events have increased in attendance by over 50% each new event hosted.

Vocado
Visit SiteProduct Manager: Rahul Iyer
Other Stakeholders: Kevin Guebert
Client: Vocado
The Goal: Vocado wanted to change the behavior around dating online/apps by replicating real-life experiences through voice technology, natural language processing, and AI.
The Solution: Through the use of Alexa and Google Assistant, we were able to shift the thinking away from text/messages to more of a real-life conversational flow. By taking the simple concept of a voicemail and changing the age-old use of it, users can now communicate through Alexa and Google Assistant before appealing to the aesthetics of profiles and pictures (see video above).
*Vocado is still being built. Updates will be posted soon.

Cheer Straps
Product Manager: Rahul Iyer
Other Stakeholders: Alex Prinzi, Leo Prinzi
Client: Wazo
The Goal: Wazo wanted to find a replacement solution to the taping of wrists for male cheerleaders. Cheerleading teams were spending thousands of dollars a year on tape, with very little function outside of the basics for support and grip.
The Solution: Through the provisionally patented Cheer Straps, we were able to create a product that was sweat-absorbent, provided more wrist stability and grip, better loosening and tightening functionality, and cut costs to ~$20 per a cheerleader per a season. Cheer Straps redefined the way male cheerleaders, olympic lifters, and other athletes think about wrist support and grip strength (see video above).
