Matt’s AI for Product Development Qualifications
Experience level: Manager
At BambooHR I help rethink how a product organization builds with AI. I sit on a cross-functional group moving our process away from the old sequence of research first and build second, toward continuous experimentation where teams test ideas with AI as they go. To support that, I built the AI-enabled research infrastructure behind it: agentic workflows that run automated evaluations, agents that analyze large sets of unstructured feedback, and monitoring agents that pull signals like NPS, CSAT, support tickets, and user testing into a single running view product teams can act on. I also lead research for our AI-powered product features, including AskBambooHR. I can speak to the full product development lifecycle because I have worked across it. I spent three and a half years as a full-stack engineer, and I still ship a live mobile app as a solo founder using agentic coding. So when I talk about what AI can do for a product team, I am drawing on tools I have actually built and products I have actually shipped. If you want to move faster from idea to working product, prototype and test more in less time, or fold AI into the features you are building, I can help you set up a way of working your team can sustain.
