Hi there, I’m Nihar!

I’m an AI Product Manager in Citi’s Wealth division. Before stepping into product management, I built my foundation in Citi’s Markets division as a Product Engineer and Quantitative Analyst. I graduated from Cornell University in 2019 with a B.S. in Computer Science and minors in Operations Research and Business. In my free time, I love to cook, bake, swim, and spend time with friends and family!
