What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can blend hands-on AI product work with real business impact—cutting through complexity, scaling what matters, and building with a team that values autonomy, clarity, and execution over fluff. I want to solve hard problems, not just ship features.

I’m an AI-focused product leader with 10+ years of experience building in generative AI, e-commerce, healthtech, and B2B SaaS. My work has impacted over 1 billion users, unlocked $100M+ in business value, and driven results like 10× ROI, 90% time savings, and real-time decisioning under 100ms.

I’ve led cross-functional teams of 15–20+ across engineering, design, and data science, delivering products like text-to-video platforms, on-device image enhancement SDKs, predictive offer engines, and growth systems for digital health. I work hands-on—whether architecting RAG pipelines, defining event-driven APIs, or tuning LLM prompts and embeddings for accuracy and speed.

What drives me is untangling complex systems, surfacing high-friction problems, and rebuilding with clarity and scale in mind. I thrive in ambiguous environments and prefer real collaboration over silos or titles. I value autonomy, high trust, and teams that prioritize execution over optics.

Outside work, I write on Medium, play guitar, and volunteer in food distribution and education. I hold 7 patents, have won a national PM award, and have been featured in publications like Mid Day, YourStory, and TV9 News for my work on consumer and healthtech innovations.

I’m looking to build what’s next—especially at the intersection of AI and real-world impact.
