AI Launch Copilot

Problem

Product teams often struggle to turn messy launch inputs into clear positioning, messaging, rollout plans, and cross-functional execution.

AI Launch Copilot visual
Impact

Improved launch planning clarity and reduced planning friction through an AI-assisted GTM workflow prototype.

Built an AI-powered launch planning copilot to structure positioning, customer segmentation, messaging, and rollout decisions for product teams.

Designed workflows for launch planning, cross-functional alignment, and execution tracking to improve decision speed and team coordination.

Combined product strategy, AI-assisted content generation, and structured planning to simulate a scalable launch management experience.

AI Dispute Resolution Engine

Problem

Dispute operations are slow, manual, and expensive, making it hard for teams to triage cases efficiently and protect margin.

Impact

$325M simulated annual net value with 64% automated triage and AUC 0.80 model validation.

Designed an AI-powered dispute workflow using NLP classification, logistic regression, threshold optimization, and workflow orchestration across 1M+ dispute records.

Achieved 64% automated triage at t1=0.055, with AUC 0.80 validation and a simulated $325M annual net value impact.

Built an end-to-end ML pipeline with synthetic data modeling, feature engineering, economic simulation, and product logic for operational decisioning.

Impact

Improved charging efficiency by 15 to 20% and reduced planning friction by about 40% in the prototype experience.

Built a RAG-powered EV planning copilot using ChromaDB, SentenceTransformers, optimization algorithms, and a Streamlit prototype.

Delivered battery-aware charging recommendations that improved charging efficiency by 15 to 20% across modeled journeys.

Translated natural-language preferences into route-aware optimization, reducing trip planning friction by about 40% in the prototype experience.

Reimagining Digital Childhoods

Problem

Digital experiences for children often lack clear monetization logic, durable engagement strategy, and thoughtful experience trade-off design.

Impact

$10B TAM framing with strategic roadmap, KPI definition, and monetization analysis for product decision-making.

Conducted $10B TAM analysis, competitive benchmarking, and KPI definition to evaluate monetization and positioning opportunities.

Developed feature concepts, engagement hypotheses, and roadmap prioritization tied to experimentation and growth planning.

Created an executive strategy deck on revenue potential, user experience trade-offs, and cross-functional decision support.

Machine Learning Risk Analytics

Operational Risk Event Prediction

Problem

Operational risk teams need earlier detection of enterprise risk patterns without relying only on reactive review.

Operational Risk Event Prediction visual
Impact

Improved reliability of structured risk detection through validated ML-based decision support.

Built Random Forest and Logistic Regression models to identify operational risk patterns across structured enterprise datasets.

Validated model quality using ROC-AUC, precision-recall evaluation, cross-validation, and bias testing for reliable decision support.

How I think

Product principles

User first. Understand behavior and pain points before designing features.

Systems thinking. Products operate within data, operational, and ecosystem constraints.

Technology as a lever. AI enables scalable decision systems and new product capability.

Business impact. Strong products drive revenue growth, monetization, and operational efficiency.

Beyond work

What keeps me curious

DJing. Mixing music and rhythm as a creative outlet.

Sports. Badminton and soccer.

Dance and travel. Movement, culture, and new perspectives.
