Chythra’s Product Management Qualifications

Experience level: Product Manager Intern

Former Product Manager Intern at Cloudflare, where I led 3 products from prototype to launch (as a intern), including Cloudflare Drop, a drag-and-drop deployment tool that drove 35k+ new deployments and trended on Hacker News. I received a return offer and offers from Truist and CoStar Group. I broke into product without a top-three school or a prior product internship. I’m a Computer Science student at Virginia Tech, and my path ran through cybersecurity research, data work in pharma, and software engineering at Markel, where I built an AI assistant that cut manual look-up time in half. Along the way, I learned how to turn non-PM experience into a strong product story, and how to take a messy, ambiguous problem and create enough structure for a team to build against. Whether you’re breaking into product for the first time, coming from a non-traditional background, or preparing for your first PM internship interviews, I’m here to help you find the story in the experience you already have, and to give you honest feedback, practical prep, and the confidence to go after the role you want. Let’s connect and work toward your goals together!
