Building commercial-grade AI systems.
Product executive with 15+ years scaling software products across startups, growth companies, and global platforms including Salesforce and PagerDuty. I focus on how AI changes product architecture, decision systems, and organizational design.
Focus
AI-enabled product execution
Built a three-phase AI pipeline that drafts, validates, and audits structured knowledge records autonomously. Humans set the rules; AI does the work.
Multi-model AI orchestration
Designing pipelines where specialized models collaborate in sequence, each with defined roles and deterministic guardrails.
AI product architecture
Designed the system so LLMs assist but never decide. Safety checks, scoring, and activation are deterministic. The architecture scales without adding risk.
AI Systems Work
Executive Research Analyst
Retrieval-augmented research assistant that ingests document corpora, retrieves relevant evidence, and generates structured executive research briefs grounded in source material.
Stack: Python • OpenAI • ChromaDB • Semantic Search • Retrieval Pipelines
AI Knowledge Platform
A commercial-grade multi-model orchestration pipeline for structured knowledge validation. Three models in sequence handle evidence gathering, analytical drafting, and logic auditing. Human-in-the-loop review system with AI-generated confidence scoring across 800+ structured records.
Stack: Python • FastAPI • PostgreSQL • ChromaDB • React • Perplexity Sonar • Trinity Large • Kimi K2.5 • OpenRouter
Writing
Why most AI systems will remain tools rather than agents, and what it takes to build true agency.
How centralized AI control creates systemic fragility in decision systems.
What happens when AI stops assisting product managers and begins executing product work.
About
I build and scale software products through difficult transitions, including finding product-market fit, improving monetization, integrating acquisitions, and redesigning systems as AI begins executing parts of product work.
Over the past 15+ years, I’ve worked across startups, growth companies, and larger platforms, helping teams navigate complexity while building products that create real business value.
Today, I’m focused on how product organizations evolve when AI moves from analysis to execution.
Open to VP/Head of Product roles, remote or SF Bay Area.
