What makes it work

A breakdown of the choices that make this portfolio stand out.

1

Combining day-job AI PM work with independently shipped side products

Building indie products outside her main role gives her a second, faster feedback loop for testing AI product ideas than a single employer's release cadence allows.

2

A named deep-dive on a real launch, not just her own work

Writing a detailed, sourced product deep-dive on how Anthropic shipped Cowork in roughly ten days — including specific technical details like sandboxing and security tradeoffs — demonstrates analytical rigor applied to someone else's decisions.

3

Framing regulatory literacy as part of the AI PM skill set

Explicitly working near EU AI Act compliance for physical AI products treats regulatory constraint as a core part of the job, not an afterthought.

What AI Product Managers can take from this

Specific, actionable tips to apply to your own portfolio — no generic advice.

  • If you build side projects outside your main job, mention them specifically — they demonstrate you can ship without a team's infrastructure behind you.

  • Publish a detailed, well-sourced teardown of someone else's real AI product launch; it's a low-cost way to demonstrate analytical rigor without your own case study.

  • If your work touches AI regulation or physical/hardware AI products, call that out specifically — it's a distinct and less common skill set.
