I build AI products from zero to one, and I teach others how to do the same.Over 12+ years, I've taken AI/ML products from proof-of-concept to launch at Amazon, Nike, T-Mobile, and Disney. The work I love most is early-stage: validating ideas, getting executive greenlight, and shipping MVPs that prove value before scaling. At Nike, that approach drove a $100M annual reduction in product returns.I also teach what I build. I co-created and lead the AI Product Management Certificate at the University of Washington, where experienced PMs ship real GenAI products complete with evaluation plans and GTM strategies. Previously, I trained 4 cohorts at Product School.What I bring: the ability to translate messy AI capabilities into clear product value, align technical and business stakeholders, and move fast without breaking trust. I write about AI PM craft at aipmguru.substack.com.I'm currently exploring opportunities to lead 0→1 AI product work at companies solving meaningful problems. I'm especially energized by AI in healthcare and education, though I'm open to any domain where the product can genuinely improve lives.
