## About

```text
At Samsung Electro-Mechanics, I lead product strategy across a 26-product portfolio and drive the GenAI agenda, including LLM copilots, RAG platforms, and multi-agent workflows. Across four enterprise AI initiatives, adoption reached 65% among 400 targeted users, while manual workflow time fell by 35%.

I also established evaluation and governance practices for agentic systems, with checks for grounding, retrieval, tool execution, and hallucinations. This work achieved 92% grounded-answer accuracy and 90% retrieval precision, while critical AI-related defects fell by 40%.

At Software AG, I drove a containerized enterprise platform from concept to company-wide adoption, reducing infrastructure costs by 75%. My work has also included payment orchestration, CRM integrations, and cloud product quality, alongside earlier software and QA engineering experience.
