I build 0-to-1 AI products by applying systems thinking to complex digital environments. My approach combines the strategic vision of a product leader with the hands-on execution of a founder and architect. I specialize in helping founders and product teams move beyond simple LLM wrappers to create real, production-grade agentic systems. Whether it's architecting deterministic guardrails, navigating "Insight-to-Action" gaps, or validating early-stage AI hypotheses, I help translate stochastic models into measurable, high-ROI business outcomes.

What I Can Help You With?
Pitch Deck Review
As a 2x Founder (Antler & Web Summit alum), I review pitch decks to help you translate complex AI capabilities into a compelling, VC-ready business narrative that proves clear ROI and market fit.
Product Management
Guiding 0→1 product lifecycles. I help founders and PMs translate ambiguous user needs into high-ROI roadmaps, bridging the gap between complex technical capabilities and measurable business value.
AI Product Management
I help navigate the 0→1 lifecycle of AI products. Learn to bridge probabilistic LLMs with deterministic business logic, architect agentic workflows, and build high-ROI production-grade systems.
Startup Advisory
2x Founder advising on the 0→1 startup lifecycle. I help early-stage teams validate AI hypotheses, architect strategic GTM roadmaps, and transition from raw concepts to commercially viable products.
Generative AI Coaching
Bridging the gap between stochastic LLMs and production reliability. I advise on agentic architectures (LangGraph), deterministic guardrails, and secure RAG pipelines for B2B/B2G solutions.
Digital Transformation
Guiding the shift from manual workflows to code-driven intelligence. I share experience from pioneering R&D units and scaling city-scale platforms to drive massive organizational efficiency.
Product Strategy
I help translate ambiguous business goals into clear, high-ROI product roadmaps. Expert in 0→1 vision, systems thinking, and bridging the gap between tech and market demand.
