What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead cross-functional teams to integrate responsible AI, drive measurable impact, and scale products or IP in collaborative, growth-focused environments.

I am an AI-focused project manager with experience driving cross-functional teams in both global corporations and startups, delivering customer-facing platforms and internal AI integrations. I have led projects that scaled services to millions of users and launched character-based IP that reached 100K+ audience within six months.

I prioritize agile practices, stakeholder alignment, and measurable KPIs while coordinating engineering, design, QA, and external vendors. I seek to apply prompt engineering, model fine-tuning, and AI evaluation pipelines to improve workflows and responsibly advance AI-driven products.
