Andy
Bharadwaj

A product builder, end to end. I ideate, design, code, and own the GTM.

Engineer turned PM who never put the keyboard down. Senior PM at Docusign shaping the agentic roadmap for Iris across surfaces that move 850M sends a year, and a Claude Code wizard who designed, coded, and shipped Ascend, a recovery app, solo to both app stores.

I solve for the problems that actually matter. Before writing a line of code, I obsess over the problem space, because there's always more than one way to build a thing, but only a well-understood problem is worth solving.

I founded Ascend because I watched friends struggle in silence and knew the problem was real. At Docusign, that same instinct shapes how I steer AI across surfaces millions rely on.

01 Ascend · Designed & built solo
01 / 05 · What it is

A recovery app, backed by science.

Ascend helps men quit compulsive adult-content use, then rebuilds the space it leaves with habits that compound: fitness, finances, learning, discipline. Not just breaking a vice, but becoming a better man.

02 / 05 · Why I built it

I watched friends lose their potential.

Too many of my friends struggled with this in silence. On Reddit, thousands wanted out but kept relapsing, with no structure, no science, no way to actually stop. So I built the system I wished they had.

03 / 05 · Home

A daily command center.

One glance: where you are in your identity arc, today's brief, and a one-tap lifeline when an urge hits. Every element earns its place.

04 / 05 · The Ascent

Progress you can see.

A rewire score and a trajectory that projects who you're becoming, grounded in dopamine-recovery research and rendered as a chart you actually want to open.

Your evidence. Unedited.

Every urge held, every pulse, every slip: the honest record. 0→120 weekly actives in month one, fully organic.

02 The operator, at scale

Six years at Docusign, owning the surfaces millions touch.

I lead product for Docusign's most-visited sending and tagging experiences, and the agentic roadmap for Docusign Iris. I shipped the company's 0→1 AI auto-tagging feature and drove the vector-database infrastructure behind its document AI, unlocking six downstream teams.

Before that I owned nine-figure portfolios across financial services, healthcare, and developer APIs, taking regulated signing into Europe and launching a developer platform from scratch.
