Hello!

Hi, I’m Amrita Thavrani, a curious, caffeine-fueled Technical Program Manager at Amazon who’s spent the last decade wrangling complexity, aligning chaos, and delivering large-scale initiatives across AI/ML, cloud-native systems, and enterprise platforms.

Somewhere between navigating cross-functional teams and decoding obscure stakeholder threads, I realized something: AI/ML is thrilling, but it can often feel like a foreign language, especially for TPMs.

So, I’m building What Was That Again?, a launchpad for Technical Program Managers charting their course through the AI/ML cosmos.
This site is my attempt to demystify AI/ML concepts, explore real-world applications, and share tools, visuals, and explainers to help TPMs keep up with this fast-evolving universe without needing a PhD in machine learning.

What You’ll Find Here :

Demystifying AI jargon - Breaking down complex terms like "overfitting" and "vector embeddings" into plain English

Building with AI in practice - How to actually ship AI products, from a product manager's perspective

Navigating the unknown - Real stories from the trenches of GenAI and LLM development

Thanks for stopping by. Stick around, and let’s figure out the future of AI, one “Wait, what was that again?” at a time.
