AI Product Manager

I build AI products that automate real work at scale.

No industry boundaries — from customs to finance, operations to analytics. I convert repetitive workflows into autonomous AI systems that actually ship.

If it requires thinking and action, I can automate it with AI.

Methodology

How I use AI as a Product Manager

I don't use AI just to build features. I use it to discover real problems, ship faster, and drive measurable business impact.

Impact-first: Start from revenue, cost, risk or experience metrics — not from "playing with models".

Scalable systems: Design AI into workflows and platforms, not one-off scripts.

De-risked delivery: Test fast, measure outcomes, then double down on what moves the needle.

My process

My AI Mindset as a Product Manager

Business > Feature

I use AI only where it clearly ties to a business metric: revenue, margin, cost-to-serve, cycle time, error rate, or NPS.

Systems > Experiments

Experiments are cheap. I push to turn successful ones into systems that any team can reuse and scale.

Risk-aware by Design

Every AI solution has guardrails: escalation paths, fallback flows, and clear human ownership.

Where I Plug AI into the Product Lifecycle

1

Discovery & Strategy

Mine conversations, support tickets, and ops chats for patterns and clear problem statements.

2

Shaping & Prioritization

Simulate user journeys, explore solution variants, and combine with RICE prioritization frameworks.

3

Delivery & Execution

Draft specs, edge cases, UX copy, and test cases so teams move faster with less ambiguity.

4

Adoption & Improvement

Analyze usage data and feedback with AI, find drop-offs, feed insights back into the roadmap.

My Impact Stack

Revenue & Growth

Use AI to create new offerings and increase conversion or expansion in existing products.

Cost & Efficiency

Reduce manual work, shrink cycle times, and cut rework so teams handle more with the same resources.

Risk & Quality

Catch errors early, enforce policies, and make decisions explainable so leaders trust the system.

How I Use AI End-to-End

1

Frame the business problem

Define the "move this metric" statement — reduce handling time, cut error rates, or unlock new revenue.

2

Map the workflow

Break the process into steps, find where humans think/decide/copy-paste, and mark candidate AI points.

3

Design the AI moments

Decide where AI classifies, suggests, drafts, or decides — always with human override.

4

Prototype quickly

Build internal tools or micro-flows in days — just enough to validate real value.

5

Measure real-world impact

Track before/after: time, errors, volume, satisfaction. Kill what doesn't move metrics.

6

Productize and scale

Embed the validated AI workflow into core systems with guardrails and monitoring.

Where I Deliberately Avoid AI

I avoid using AI when:

A simple rule or UX fix solves the problem better
Stakes are extremely high and explainability is critical with no good fallback
AI adds complexity without clear business upside

Want an AI PM, not just an AI tinkerer?

If you have a workflow, a P&L, or a KPI that matters, I can help you design AI around it — driving real, trackable business impact.

Philosophy

What I Believe

Principles that guide how I build products and work with teams.

Operations First

I build products for people doing the actual work. If ops teams don't use it, it doesn't matter how clever the AI is.

Shipped > Perfect

Speed matters. I'd rather ship something that works 80% of the time this week than something perfect in three months.

Build in Public

I share what I learn, including what doesn't work. The best products come from transparent iteration, not secrecy.

Origin

Why This Site Exists

I've built dozens of AI tools for customs, supply chain, and FinOps over the past few years. Most started as quick experiments to solve specific problems — classifying HS codes faster, catching billing errors, reconciling invoices without spreadsheets.

People kept asking me how I built them, what prompts I used, what frameworks worked. So I started writing. This site is a collection of those insights, plus demos of the actual tools.

If you're a product manager trying to add AI to your roadmap, an operations leader drowning in manual work, or a builder curious about applied AI in logistics and trade — this is for you.

Let's Work Together

I advise teams on AI product strategy, customs automation, and FinOps workflows. If you're building in this space, let's talk.
