AI Product Manager & Builder shipping governed agents and growth engines.
What I'm looking for
I’m an AI Product Manager & Builder focused on shipping governed AI systems in production—where evaluation, safety, and rollout discipline are part of the product.
I built an evaluation-and-promotion pipeline that tested 60+ automated agent strategies and promoted only the few that cleared statistical rigor gates, using staged promotion (shadow → paper → live), kill-switches, human-in-the-loop, and expected-throughput watchdogs.
On the growth side, I’ve engineered AI features that move activation and engagement—such as a Google Vertex AI recommendation engine that improved activations (+15%) and engagement (1.3×), and growth programs that scaled revenue and usage across teams.
With deep technical fluency (Claude Code, MCP servers, Anthropic Agent SDK, Python, REST APIs, and prompt/RAG/LLM evals), I don’t just specify—I build and ship. I also run lean product organizations, including founding a business (0 → AED 2M annual revenue) and releasing open-source work like dubai-re-intelligence.
