Product & AI Builder — I ship things that solve real problems and measure whether they worked.

I'm targeting product management, strategy, and AI-forward roles where I can work on hard problems, ship fast, and keep learning.

About Me

I identify problems, build solutions, and measure whether they worked. My background spans AI engineering, product delivery, and data analysis — I use all three to ship things that actually move the needle. My work spans prompt engineering, retrieval pipelines, backend APIs, and enterprise-grade deployment.

Focus: shipping reliable AI workflows that improve real operations, not just demos.

I enjoy converting ambiguous product and policy constraints into deployable systems that teams can trust.

Shipping Setup Assistant Prototype (Shopify-Style Assignment)

A small prototype I built based on a Shopify shipping setup assignment prompt. The problem: many merchants abandon setup before finishing when they hit unfamiliar shipping terms. My solution: a guided assistant that asks two plain-English questions and configures the setup flow automatically. Built and deployed as an interactive prototype on Netlify.
