Experienced Hands-on Product Manager, former Head of Product, & UC Berkeley educator with 15+ years of experience shipping 0-to-1 products and scaling global learning portfolios. Guided by a learning science philosophy of "structured friction," I prototype and build AI-native systems using LLMs as core infrastructure to foster cognitive agency rather than gamified completion. I am a proven force-multiplier adept at rallying technology, product, and Go-To-Market (GTM) to turn ambitious strategies into shipped realities. Right now, I am actively seeking hands-on roles where I can be close to frontier models and the learners, acting as a bridge between technical execution, learning science, and learner experience.
Product Management & Strategy Consulting I've helped Product People from companies like Google, Meta, Amazon, Adobe, Apple, and Salesforce. Product strategy, 0-to-1 execution, and hands-on AI prototyping for startups and product organizations. Recent Highlights & Engagements: AI-Native Product Building: Prototyped and shipped a 0-to-1 AI learning platform (Live App: otus.vincelaw.co), acting as a hands-on IC and one-person dev shop to rapidly validate ideas and enable real-world work simulations for learners. Core AI Infrastructure: Utilized RAG architecture and advanced system prompting as core product infrastructure, establishing rigorous AI evaluation frameworks to ensure output accuracy, pedagogical alignment, and data privacy. Product Strategy & PMF: Developed multi-year product strategies and roadmaps for early- to mid-stage startups, defining PMF and success metrics to drive up to +100% annual client growth. Product Operations: Optimized resource allocation and product operations across engineering and design teams, successfully marshaling functional groups to achieve up to 1.5x delivery velocity. Organizational Design: Guided client organization redesigns around industry practices with concrete recommendations on roles, structures, processes, and AI-native workflows.
