What makes it work
A breakdown of the choices that make this portfolio stand out.
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.
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.
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.
