Product & operations lead building AI-enabled solutions with data-driven product strategy.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Product & Operations Lead at BioCompute Inc building DNA-based data storage solutions, where I lead discovery, roadmap prioritisation, and MVP validation through 30+ customer interviews across 5 industries. I translate complex technical goals into buildable PRDs, user stories, and sprint-ready requirements with clear acceptance criteria.
I’ve shipped AI-assisted product tools end-to-end, including an internal AI drafting/knowledge-retrieval system that cut grant proposal turnaround time by 90%. I also prototype and validate emerging ideas—like an AI-assisted Electronic Lab Notebook—using customer and market evidence to guide strategic go/no-go decisions.
