About Dustin R.
I\'m a technical product leader with deep experience building and launching AI-driven software products that bridge the gap between technology and business challenges, especially in legacy industries.In my most recent work, I led the architecture and implementation of AI-driven risk assessment modules, utilizing retrieval augmented generation (RAG) and prompt engineering to accurately analyze tens of thousands of industrial safety reports. I also created data-driven performance evaluations to benchmark and demonstrate AI accuracy improvements to enterprise clients.Previously, I spearheaded the development of a fintech platform tailored for small business mergers and acquisitions, integrating AWS Textract OCR, semantic search, and RAG. Within six months, my team successfully delivered a market-ready MVP, defined new customer segments, and growing annual recurring revenue from $60K to over $500K.As the founder of Sarus, I conducted over 100 customer discovery interviews within construction, trucking, and crane rental industries, translating insights into a successful SaaS solution that integrated custom data pipelines, Google Maps APIs, and intuitive user interfaces built in Figma. I grew a sales pipeline of 100+ qualified customers, secured $600K+ in funding, and directly led engineering teams in delivering impactful, industry-specific software solutions.My engineering foundation includes deploying FPGA-based systems at Xilinx (now AMD) and developing high-performance computing solutions, providing a unique combination of technical depth and product intuition. I\'m passionate about rapidly translating complex technical capabilities into clear customer value, collaborating cross-functionally, and building trust through proactive communication and execution.
