About Ogün Kargin

Technical Product Manager with 5+ years of experience building and leading high-performing ML and data platform teams. I specialize in LLMs, and data curation systems that enable trustworthy, reproducible AI at scale. I’ve led initiatives spanning LLM-powered agents, evaluation pipelines, data quality standards, and ML experimentation best practices, partnering closely with research, platform, and application teams to create tight feedback loops between data, evaluation, and modeling. Known for combining technical rigor with strong written communication, I enjoy building inclusive teams that balance research innovation with production excellence — and turning ML insights into real-world impact.
