AI Product Engineer and technology executive building RAG/LLM products, multi-agent systems, and human-in-the-loop AI.
What I'm looking for
I’m a seasoned AI Product Engineer and technology executive with 18+ years spanning securities, digital health, AI-powered EdTech, and corporate innovation. I’m a hands-on builder focused on RAG pipelines, LLM-powered products, multi-agent systems, and human-in-the-loop AI.
Currently, I’m driving innovation and AI product execution at Tasco Group—leading innovation strategy, overseeing technology operations (infrastructure, cloud, cybersecurity, enterprise apps), and running corporate venture sourcing and investment decisions. Earlier, I led Open-ended product and platform work from startup to IPO at VNDirect Securities, and successfully exited Wellcare after founding and scaling a telemedicine platform.
Today, I co-founded Open Academia and continue building 0→1 AI education and voice products with ethical governance and human-centered design. My approach blends technical scoping and architecture with product strategy, investor/board communication, and responsible AI systems that hold up in high-stakes domains.
