About Me
Sanket Kandagal is a Senior Product Manager who turns complex financial and operational workflows into scalable products that people can actually use.
He works by combining user observation, quantitative evidence, and technical understanding to identify the real bottleneck before deciding what to build.
At Onramp, he reduced B2B API integration time by 81%, from 21 days to four, by improving the workflow around working infrastructure rather than rebuilding the APIs.
At Bitbns, he redesigned KYC around risk-tiered controls, increasing conversion from 5% to 30% while retaining manual review for higher-risk cases. At ChaosGround, he led an acquired platform to beta and reduced infrastructure spend by 93%.
He is currently applying the same systems-thinking approach at Beamdelta, building an investment research and risk platform with structured metrics, workflows, and validation loops.

Experience
- Turned an expert-dependent crypto project evaluation process into BeamDelta, an investment research and risk platform, evolving a BitBNS listing framework and its earlier platformization at Chaos Ground into an independent product with 31 metrics across 7 pillars for more consistent, explainable decisions. - Expanded BeamDelta from internal decision support into a public investment-research experience, adding market intelligence, comparison and discovery workflows to make project analysis more useful beyond the analyst workflow. - Applied AI-assisted product development to build and iterate the product, directing multiple AI tools through structured product specifications, phased planning, review loops and production validation rather than treating AI as a standalone feature.

- Led the turnaround of an acquired esports platform with limited documentation, lost historical data and no original internal engineering team; created structure around product scope, technical dependencies and delivery to help bring the platform to beta in 6 months. - Led a 17-person external engineering organization through major delivery blockers, shifting an hourly engagement to milestone-based delivery with clear acceptance criteria and dependencies; reduced cost burn 40%. - Cut esports-platform infrastructure spend by 93% ($3,500/month → $250/month) by aligning platform complexity with actual product scale and moving toward a simpler monolithic architecture while removing non-core functionality.

- Reduced B2B integration time by 81% (21 days → 4 days) by treating developer experience as part of the API product—improving documentation, standardized errors, SDKs, examples and integration feedback loops instead of rebuilding working infrastructure. - Identified integration friction as the binding product constraint through 100+ client conversations, funnel evidence and transaction failures, then aligned CEO, CTO, engineering and BD/sales over 2–3 months, around a new B2B product direction. - Turned recurring demand for white-label reconciliation into a scalable product capability, using customer value, revenue at stake, strategic relevance and generalizability to distinguish reusable platform investment from one-off client customizations.

- Increased KYC onboarding conversion by 6× (5% → 30%) by redesigning verification around risk-tiered controls and workflow automation while retaining manual review for defined higher-risk cases. - Reduced manual KYC review workload 80% by automating routine verification and routing defined outliers to manual review, reducing operational friction without removing required controls. - Productized expert project evaluation into a repeatable risk-decision platform covering 7 categories and 31 signals, evaluating 80 projects and reducing analysis effort 80% (40 hours → 8 hours); enabled more consistent, explainable listing decisions and contributed to ~$2M in listing/business revenue.
