AI Engineer & Digital Transformation Product Manager | Bridging Supply Chain ML, Business Strategy & UX Prototyping | SAFe 6.0 POPM & CSPO | Building 0-to-1 Agentic AI & Recommender Systems

About

I am a Full-Stack AI Product Lead and Certified SAFe 6.0 POPM with over 8 years of experience building enterprise-grade AI products that transform global supply chains, logistics networks, and B2B commercial operations. Operating at the rare intersection of operations research, machine learning, and human-centered design, I act as both the Technical Product Owner and the 0-to-1 AI Prototyper. I specialize in leveraging foundation models (Claude, Google AI Studio) to rapidly build and validate functional, code-backed prototypes of Agentic AI and ML recommender systems. This hands-on prototyping validates UX, prompt architecture, and business logic before deploying full-scale engineering teams, drastically reducing time-to-market and engineering costs. Backed by an MBA in Logistics & Supply Chain Management and a PGP in Data Science, I am currently leading AI initiatives at Merck Life Science to optimize manufacturing networks and dynamic pricing. Key Career Milestones: ● Enterprise AI & Prototyping: Spearheaded a B2B regulatory compliance platform, commercializing a data subscription model that generated €37 million in ARR. ● Conversational AI & UX Design: Orchestrated the flow and user journey for AI-driven chatbots and recommender systems, translating probabilistic ML outputs into intuitive, frictionless user interfaces. ● Cost & Capacity Optimization (Ex-Amazon): Launched a Reverse Logistics asset, utilizing regression models to optimize truck space. Designed operational workflows that reduced recovery costs by 7% (saving €500,000/week) and saved 80 FTEs. ● Regulatory & Quality Compliance: Deep expertise in executing risk-based UX/feature validation using CSA guidelines and enforcing ALCOA+ principles for rigorous, audit-ready GxP compliance. I am deeply passionate about continuous innovation and am currently completing an advanced certification in Designing and Building AI Products and Services from MIT xPRO, alongside specialized training in Agentic AI.
