Ernest Merkylov
@ernestmerkylov
I lead AI and aviation products from strategy and discovery through measurable delivery.
UkraineWhat I'm looking for
At Brazos Safety Systems, I lead product strategy, discovery, UX direction, and cross-functional delivery for aviation safety, FDM/FOQA, operations, and marketing products serving U.S. and Australian markets.
I built a pilot safety-reporting mobile app with API integrations that reduced reporting time from roughly 15 minutes to 2 minutes. I also increased internal safety-tool adoption from about 40% to 62% and improved delivery timelines by 28% through stronger discovery and design-to-engineering handoffs.
At RAGADVISE, I took an AI-enabled B2B operations platform from concept and prototype through MVP to production, shaping a six-hub ecosystem, 12-month roadmap, AI use cases, and product-level integrations with OpenAI, Whisper, ElevenLabs, LangChain, LangGraph, and OpenCV.
Previously at Tino DigitalAgency, I led product and operations work across 60+ digital initiatives, $2M+ in budgets, and teams spanning design, engineering, DevOps, QA, and sales. I care about turning complex workflows into clear products that improve activation, time-to-value, delivery predictability, and commercial growth.
