About

I build AI products that actually work in the real world. 🚀 With 15+ years of experience in AI Product Management and Product Ownership across Agentic AI, Generative AI, Industrial AI, IoT, and enterprise software, I've led products from zero to scale — owning everything from vision and discovery to backlog, sprint delivery, and release. My two flagship products at Siemens: 🤖 ICfE — Agentic AI Engineering Copilot Built on multi-agent orchestration, RAG, Knowledge Graphs & human-in-the-loop approvals — delivering ~5x faster code generation and ~50% productivity gains for engineering teams. 🏭 SieAssist — AI-Powered Operations Copilot Leveraging LLMs, RAG, OPC-UA & real-time event processing to transform raw machine alarms into contextual troubleshooting guidance and operational intelligence. What I bring to the table: 🎯 End-to-end backlog ownership — epics, user stories, acceptance criteria, DoD ⚙️ Deep Agile & SAFe delivery expertise — sprint planning, PI planning, grooming 🔍 Customer discovery & stakeholder alignment across global, cross-functional teams 🛡️ AI Governance, Responsible AI & LLM evaluation frameworks embedded into delivery 📊 Data-driven roadmap prioritization using OKRs, product analytics & business cases Across my career at Siemens, Schneider Electric, Ramyam Intelligence Lab & Subex, I've mentored Product Owners, led digital transformation programs, launched AI-powered recommendation systems, and delivered large-scale telecom analytics programs. I'm passionate about the intersection of AI, engineering, and real-world impact — and I love working with teams that care about building things that matter. 📩 Open to conversations around AI product leadership, collaboration & speaking opportunities.
