UENI Ltd., London - Product Manager
Jan 2018 - present

With the company since early stages. Main focus for the past 5 years: pioneering and coding AI solutions for product and internal tools at scale.

  • Built AI quality-control systems that check delivered websites against intake and playbooks before and after customer handoff (AI Build QC and AI Edits QC), cutting manual review time.
  • Designed and shipped guardrailed AI edit workflows so change requests become structured tasks, apply safely to live sites, and escalate when uncertain (Edits Triager, Auto Edits, WP Full Auto).
  • Led WordPress fleet tooling: customer-facing admin surface plus operator control plane for sites, releases, and edit requests at scale.
  • Cut SMB site publishing from hours of content work to a short AI-assisted first draft plus a human curation window.
  • Delivered conversational intake forms that increased completion, media uploads, and submission quality; launched gamified acquisition flows.
  • Owned core and ancillary features in the editor and customer hub; implemented ListView for internal content management.
  • Spearheaded Data Connect (OSINT for new signup processing); delivered growth-hacking tools with Marketing; reputation management and e-commerce for micro businesses.
  • Led end-to-end Planhat Customer Success platform integration, analytics, and team process migration; wired AI QC and edit tools into that operational loop.
  • Often entrusted by founders to oversee diverse teams across departments with a delivery-driven approach.
