Top 1 Percent | Tech AI Program Lead & Product Mgr | Ex-Tesla/Experian

Technical AI Program Lead & Product Manager (Expert-Vetted, Top 1%) who turns founder vision into shipped, production AI — not slideware. Ex-Tesla and Experian, with $400K+ earned and 100% Job Success across 45+ Upwork engagements. What I actually do: - Orchestrate multi-model AI — design and build agentic workflows across Claude, GPT, and Gemini, including MCP-based tool/context setups. Hands-on where it counts, and I direct engineering for the rest. - Wire AI into your real stack — connect models to live business data and systems (CRM/Salesforce, cloud, internal APIs) so outputs are grounded, not generic. - Build with governance in mind — SOC 2 / RBAC-aware deployments, sensible data boundaries, and controls to keep shadow AI in check. - Own delivery end-to-end — scope, sequence, and ship with real PM rigor (Agile/Scrum) so AI initiatives reach production and stay maintainable. Tools & stack: Claude, GPT, Gemini, MCP, Jira, Linear, HubSpot, AWS, and modern web stacks (React, Node.js, Python). Track record: - $400K+ earned on Upwork across 45+ engagements, 100% Job Success - $10M+ in client ARR influenced; 200+ complex projects shipped across e-commerce, healthcare, and logistics - Long-term, repeat client partnerships If you need someone who speaks both founder and engineer and can take an AI initiative from idea to production, let's talk. Also available for full-stack delivery — web & mobile app development, Amazon Seller Central, Shopify, WooCommerce, and WordPress — plus data & BI (Power BI dashboards & reporting) and digital transformation consulting, solo or with my NinjaDev team. Whether you need a senior AI/product lead or an end-to-end build, reach out and let's talk.
