AI Product Owner Senior/Lead Business & Systems Analyst
AI-augmented product owner, business & systems analyst. I turn ambiguous requirements, stakeholder interviews, and manual delivery into working agentic workflows and measurable outcomes. 15+ years across enterprise systems, microservice integrations, and process re-engineering, with a track record of rescuing troubled deliveries.
AI in practice
Spec-Driven AI SDLC
Designed AI delivery lifecycles around living specs that stay in sync with the code and docs, so coding agents build from agreed requirements instead of ad-hoc prompts.
Agent Skills & Context Engineering
Packaged domain knowledge, design systems and team conventions into reusable agent skills and MCP integrations, giving every coding agent the same reliable context.
AI-Augmented QA
Built QA around agent skills and Playwright agents that generate and maintain tests, cutting the bug reopen rate by more than 6x.
Discovery to Spec
Turned stakeholder interviews and legacy modules into structured, versioned specs with LLM pipelines, shortening requirements gathering and giving QA a testable baseline.
AI Delivery Economics
Treated AI tooling cost as a delivery metric and cut token spend by 90% by moving from pay-per-token API billing to subscriptions.
