About

Product Manager with a strong technical foundation in AI, focused on turning advanced AI capabilities into reliable, user-facing products. I work at the intersection of product strategy, model behavior, and real-world constraints. I’ve led the design and delivery of AI systems end to end: from problem discovery and product definition to architecture decisions, evaluation frameworks, and production deployment. I’m deeply hands-on with LLM-powered products, including agent orchestration , Lang Chain and RAG systems, but my focus is always on outcomes: clarity of use cases, measurable impact, and systems that teams can actually maintain. I’ve collaborated closely with engineering, research, and infrastructure teams, using metrics and iteration to inform roadmap decisions. Technically, I work hands-on with modern LLM systems and agentic architectures, including multi-agent workflows, tool-augmented reasoning, and retrieval-augmented generation. I’ve designed and evaluated systems using LangGraph, LangChain, LlamaIndex, and PyTorch, with a strong understanding of transformer-based models, attention mechanisms, and modern deep learning architectures. I’m comfortable diving into model behavior, prompt and agent design, and evaluation pipelines to diagnose failures and guide product decisions. My product approach focuses on clear problem definition, measurable success metrics, rapid feedback loops, and close collaboration with engineering, research, and cross-functional stakeholders. I am particularly interested in AI Product Management roles where I can apply my product judgment and helps teams build reliable, high-impact AI solutions.
