Platforms ship because someone owns the path between strategy and delivery.

I'm Deepam Khirwar. For 10+ years I've defined what enterprise platforms should do and run the programs that get them there on time - across healthcare, fintech, SaaS, and BPaaS, for organizations serving 5M+ people.

Personal projects

Work I build on my own time, connecting product thinking to real systems design.

Personal Project · Product & Systems Design

Rx Price Check

A self-directed personal project: a mobile tool that turns "what will this cost me" into a real answer - your price, a cheaper alternative worth asking your doctor about, and the nearest pharmacy that actually has it at that price. Includes a full system design write-up (HIPAA-aware architecture, guardrails that keep the AI panel from ever making a clinical call) and a fully clickable mobile prototype.

Personal Project · Product & Interaction Design

Signal

A self-directed personal project: a mobile concept that scores open roles against a resume, explains the gap in plain language, drafts the tailored fix, and surfaces who to talk to - end to end, from a phone. Includes a full system design write-up, a product design document, and a fully interactive prototype with a live AI deep-dive.

Personal Project · Product & Systems Design

CryptoSense AI

A self-directed personal project: an AI-powered sentiment analysis concept that turns social, news, and on-chain signal into a single investment-likelihood score per cryptocurrency. Includes a full system design and product document with an architecture diagram, and a fully interactive prototype embedded right in the case study.

Personal Project · Product & Systems Design

Program Desk

A self-directed personal project: an operating console for technical program managers, turning raw workplace signal - emails, chat threads, call transcripts - into a defensible program record, with a human review gate before anything is logged and status reports, story maps, and PRDs generated on demand.

Personal Project · Product & Systems Design

Parents' Paperwork

A self-directed personal project: a shared mobile app that helps adult children, often living abroad, run their retired parents' yearly paperwork in India. Pension, tax, bank, insurance and benefit rules become one family calendar with step-by-step guides. Includes a full case study, a system design write-up covering the rules engine and privacy model, and a fully interactive prototype.

Let's talk about what you're building.
