How I work

Artifacts I bring to AI product work.

I don't just talk about AI. I turn AI capabilities into usable, measurable, governed product experiences with the artifacts to back it up.

PRDs

Problem, user, goals, non-goals, metrics, and risk explicit on page one.

Eval criteria

Per-dimension rubrics with good/bad answers and scoring methods.

Quality gates

What blocks release: confidence, citations, refusal behavior, audit logging.

Prompt strategy

System prompts, retrieval contracts, refusal patterns, and tool boundaries.

Human-in-the-loop review

Where the human verifies, what they can override, and how it's logged.

Workflow diagrams

End-to-end flow from input to action, with hand-offs and failure modes.

Launch readiness checks

Eval pass, tenant scoping, observability, rollback, and comms plan.

Product metrics

Adoption, acceptance, rework, escalations, and audit-impact metrics.
