Experience

1. Product Builder & Product Manager

   Stealth Startup

   Jan 2025 — Present

   Led the discovery, design, and development of full-stack applications using agentic and AI-enhanced product workflows.• Validated product ideas by building POCs with foundational functionality using AI (over a 1–2-week period) to verify feasibility and gather feedback from target users. • Developed full-stack web apps, integrated with external model providers (Gemini), using spec-driven development to instruct and orchestrate AI coding agents (Claude Code and Cursor) to build features end-to-end. • Implemented prompt engineering strategies to craft system prompts for AI features and implemented AI evals (LLM-as-a-Judge via Langfuse) to evaluate model outputs, iteratively testing and refining prompts based on eval scores. • Designed AI-enhanced workflows for product, design, and engineering tasks to enable solo-app development, based on best practices identified through hands-on testing with different AI tools and models (e.g, GPT, Claude, Gemini).
