AI Product BuilderEx–Coca-Cola20+ Years Experience

AI-driven Product Leader & Builder (20+ years)
ex–Coca-Cola Product Owner. I ship production-grade AI products and automations fast.

I help teams and businesses turn ambiguous ideas into shipped software. I combine deep product leadership (requirements, roadmaps, stakeholder alignment) with hands-on execution using modern web stacks and AI orchestration. I’m especially strong at building AI-powered workflows, internal tools, and customer-facing products with measurable outcomes.

Quick Proof

  • 20+ years corporate experience in product and execution
  • Former Coca-Cola corporate veteran & Product Owner
  • Creator of IdeaJumpStart.ai — built solo in <3 months using AI orchestration
  • End-to-end ownership: strategy → design → build → ship → iterate

How I Work

Simple loop, consistently applied

  • Define the outcome and success metric
  • Cut scope to the smallest valuable version
  • Write the plan + risks + guardrails
  • Build the core path first (happy path)
  • Instrument, test, and remove friction
  • Ship, then iterate from data
  • Turn workflows into systems (templates + checklists)
  • Use AI for leverage—not novelty
  • Keep safety rails (approvals, logs, least privilege)
