Austin, Texas, United States
I build products at the point where AI capability meets real user value. Most teams know AI can do something. Fewer can turn that into a product people actually use, that holds up under load, and that a security team will approve. That gap is where I work. As a technical product manager, I run agentic, local-first workflows day to day: LLM tooling, automation pipelines, and internal systems built for security (Okta) and stability (Cloudflare). I care less about the demo and more about the version that ships, scales, and does not break at 2am. A few things that are true about how I operate: I prototype in code. I would rather build a rough working version than write a 10-page spec about it. I think in systems, not one-off tasks. Reusable pipelines beat manual steps every time. I lead with data. I have a deep interest in predictive analytics and efficiency metrics, and I bring that same rigor to product decisions. If you are working on AI-native products, automation, or internal tooling and want a PM who can actually build alongside the team, reach out. https://www.mobygames.com/person/1257411/charlie-troy/
