AI Product Manager • Agentic AI • B2B SaaS

About

As an AI product manager, I define requirements and drive the development of agentic systems that turn intelligence into action, from GTM automation and decision-support tools to adaptive assistants. I work across speech, language, and reasoning technologies (ASR, NLU, LLMs, orchestration frameworks), shaping the infrastructure and interfaces that help enterprises design and scale AI-driven agents. In my current role, I focus on making agentic systems practical by connecting models, tools, and human workflows to actually get things done. My approach is hands-on and iterative, combining rapid prototyping, real user feedback, and systems thinking to build products that balance usability, speed, cost, and business impact.
