AI Product Owner Fit
- • Product Ownership & Strategy: backlog ownership, discovery, prioritisation, user stories, acceptance criteria, sprint planning, and release outcomes.
- • AI Tools & Workflows: prompt engineering, LLM workflow design, document intelligence, RAG concepts, validation loops, and human-in-the-loop review.
- • Rapid Prototyping: functional workflow demos, low-code/no-code thinking, AI-assisted build cycles, Python/SQL prototypes, and iterative validation.
- • Cross-functional Coordination: engineering, vendors, clients, QA, leadership, and business stakeholders across global and UAE enterprise environments.
- • Data-Driven Decisions: prioritising by business value, user impact, data quality, adoption, accuracy, and cycle-time reduction.
Key Achievements
