AJ’s AI for Product Development Qualifications

Experience level: Director

AJ has helped clients get into these companies:

I'm an AI Product Leader with deep hands-on experience launching AI products from 0-to-1. - Launched LLM API platform @ Fastino - Launched PII redaction agent @ Fastino - Launched AI for sales forecasting, supply chain optimization, anti money laundering, and lending products @ C3 AI ✅ Deep experience in PM fundamentals: agile development, roadmapping, user research, design thinking, product strategy, stakeholder management, and more AND ✅ Deep experience in AI fundamentals: LLMs, agents, RAG architecture, workflow automation, encoders vs decoders, alternative architectures to transformers AND ✅ Deep experience at the intersection of AI + PM: how to design AI products, how to test and evaluate AI products, how to align AI products to user needs My path to AI Product wasn't traditional. I started in finance as a quant (AI before it was called AI 😉) before pivoting into product management. I earned my MBA from UC Berkeley Haas, where I founded the university's first major AI conference. This unique background gives me a bridge between technical depth and business strategy—and I'm passionate about helping others navigate similar career transitions. I'm hands-on with both the strategic and technical side: I've run end-to-end AI evaluations, fine-tuned models, launched AI-first products from scratch, and built scalable AI workflows for production. Whether you're pivoting from finance, consulting, or engineering, or you're already in product and want to break into AI, I can help you get there.
