Remote AI product/platform engineer
I turn ambiguous product and platform problems into shipped systems: AI-assisted workflows, ads and creative tooling, experimentation surfaces, and frontend infrastructure that helps teams move faster without losing control.
I am strongest where AI product judgment, frontend platform systems, and UI/design craft overlap.
Experience shipping AI-assisted planning, governance, and product-intelligence systems with practical attention to prompts, tool contracts, eval-friendly demos, and safety gates.
Deep domain fluency in advertiser workflows, creative systems, A/B testing, customer guidance, performance concerns, and reporting clarity.
Comfortable coordinating cross-team migrations, hardening design-system workflows, clarifying ownership, and creating repeatable implementation paths.
A focused set of shipped systems and staff-level initiatives across applied AI, product infrastructure, ads tooling, and frontend platform work.
Authored security checkpoints for a high-trust internal AI agent moving toward production write access. Shipped hardening, review gates, policy scaffolding, and SOC 2/compliance support so agentic systems could advance with clearer controls.
Co-authored an internal AI media-planning agent that turns natural-language budget conversations into persisted channel plans, projections, and UI cards for sales and account teams. Coordinated knowledge intake from PM, refined the agent, and brought the prototype to life inside the design system and conversational component stack.
Hardened the design-system path for rapid prototyping within tight guardrails: ownership rules, visual regression coverage, migration guidance, and scaffold tooling. The result helped teams move faster while preserving a credible path to later deployment.
Managed React migrations across a 20+ app AdRoll fleet, from React 14 through React 19. Architected phased upgrade strategies, compatibility shims, repo discovery conventions, and bulk codemod tooling to reduce migration risk across product surfaces.
Built a three-source synthesis classifying sales calls, support tickets, and engineering backlog to surface prioritized insight gaps with effort and impact sizing. Shipped the methodology into EngHelper, the Slackbot AI harness, so PM leadership could get the value without depending on a standalone dashboard.
Led a machine-readable people and org registry that made identity, employment classification, org function, ownership, and access tier reviewable across teams. Solved routing, ownership, and review problems so compliance and AI governance work could move faster.
Captured requirements, specified the contract, and built UI and API endpoints for a customer beta of creative variant testing. Turned complex experiment mechanics into usable setup, validation, status, reporting, significance messaging, and customer guidance, with feedback queued for broader release.
Expanded a rigid single-template ad creation flow into a more flexible in-platform design system with multi-template and animated HTML5 support. Usage expanded and persisted because customers finally had a basic way to design ads directly in the platform.
Led a cross-company frontend rebrand during a reduced-capacity period, where the risk was less the rename than the scattered ownership surface. Built the ownership map, delegated changes across teams, and used platform tooling to drive what became the company's most efficient coordinated deployment.
