Building AI-powered products that reach millions. From zero-to-one to scale — turning ambiguous problems into measurable outcomes.
Product Leader & Builder
Currently
Senior Product Manager
AI & Platform Products
I'm a product leader with 12+ years of experience building and scaling technology products across AI, fintech, e-commerce, and enterprise SaaS. I specialize in taking products from zero-to-one and then driving them to scale — from early-stage discovery through to products serving millions of users.
My approach to product management is deeply rooted in data, user empathy, and systems thinking. I believe the best products emerge from understanding not just what users say they want, but the underlying problems they're trying to solve — and then engineering elegant solutions within real-world constraints.
At the intersection of AI and product strategy, I've led teams building intelligent systems that reduce hallucination rates, optimize user experiences through ML personalization, and create measurable business impact. I'm also an author and open-source contributor, sharing product thinking with the broader community.
When I'm not shipping products, I'm writing about product strategy, mentoring aspiring PMs, and exploring how AI is reshaping the future of how we build software.

The Product Manager's Playbook
A comprehensive guide to modern product management — from discovery frameworks and prioritization to AI product strategy and stakeholder management. Drawing from 12+ years of hands-on experience building products at scale.
"The best PMs don't just ship features — they ship outcomes. This book teaches you the difference."
Writing & Insights
Sharing product thinking, AI strategy, and lessons learned from building at scale.
Why AI Product Managers Need to Think in Evaluation Frameworks
Traditional PRDs fall short for AI products. Here's how behavior specifications and eval-driven development change the game for shipping reliable AI.
The Zero-to-One Playbook: Lessons from Launching 8 Products
A distilled framework from a decade of launching products — from finding signal in noise to building conviction in uncertainty.
Reducing Hallucination Rates: A PM's Guide to Grounded AI
How we reduced hallucination from 18% to 4% through retrieval grounding, eval gating, and fallback routing — with lessons for every AI PM.
Building a Culture of Experimentation at Scale
How I built and scaled an experimentation platform running 200+ A/B tests per quarter, and the organizational changes that made it possible.
