I build AI products that actually work in the real world—especially in environments where accuracy, safety, and compliance aren’t optional. I’m a product leader with 13+ years of experience across Healthcare, Enterprise SaaS, and Fintech, currently focused on Generative AI, LLM platforms, and AI-native product development. My work sits at the intersection of AI capability and real-world constraints—where most “cool demos” tend to break. At CitiusTech, I lead development of a Generative AI platform that transforms complex clinical documents into engineering-ready outputs—reducing turnaround time and unlocking multi-million dollar growth. I’ve designed and shipped RAG-based systems, human-in-the-loop workflows, and PHI-compliant architectures, ensuring AI systems are not just powerful, but reliable, traceable, and safe in production. Across roles, I’ve owned the end-to-end product lifecycle—from 0→1 discovery and product strategy to GTM and scale—contributing to $100M+ in revenue pipelines and measurable gains in adoption, efficiency, and customer outcomes. I do my best work in problems that require: AI depth (LLMs, RAG, evaluation, guardrails) Strong product judgment under constraints (healthcare, compliance, enterprise systems) Platform thinking over feature-building Teams I work with rely on me to cut through ambiguity, make high-quality decisions quickly, and align stakeholders when priorities conflict. I’m particularly interested in building the next generation of safe, high-impact AI systems in healthcare—where getting it right isn’t just a product decision, it’s a responsibility.
