@derekfu
Product Manager and AI/ML builder improving SEO, analytics, and agentic conversational products.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Product Manager who bridges technical design, UX, analytics, and strategy to ship measurable outcomes. I’ve owned 6+ public-facing websites and led SEO initiatives that grew search impressions and CTR by 200%+ through precise sitemapping, indexing, and web scraping.
In agentic AI work, I’ve served as an AI Product Manager & Engineer, owning development & deployment of 5+ agentic conversational AI products. I translate customer needs into roadmaps, features, and prototypes, and I experiment with improvements via fine-tuning, A/B testing, and rapid iteration.
At Meta, I operated as ML Analyst II, Product Data Operations, where I led a successful LLM model launch and guided workflows, reviews, and KPIs with cross-functional teams and external vendors. I also led data annotation pipeline operations across 6+ teams—supporting training for consumer AI products, including visual models launched with Meta’s AI Glasses.
Earlier, I worked as a Product Analyst supporting the re-launch of Google Fit & Health Connect, including cybersecurity-focused API data management. I’m comfortable turning complex log analysis into clear reporting and presentations, and I bring that same clarity to agile planning and backlog execution using Jira, Notion, and Trello.
