Feb 2024 to present
Senior Technical Product Manager
Cerebrium
Serverless GPU cloud for real-time AI inference, running across multiple cloud providers. Also the named Data Protection Officer.
Scope
Strategy and planning
Writes the annual strategy and runs quarterly planning, negotiating the roadmap with the CEO: market position, customer asks, long-term objectives, and technical debt weighed in one plan. Refined the product-led growth strategy and helps sales and marketing pick which customers to target. Benchmarks model performance and competing platforms. Supported the Series A with pitch preparation, financial modelling, and clean revenue reporting for due diligence.
Unit economics and pricing
Keeps the fleet balanced between cost and performance and leads every cost-saving exercise on the platform. Helps set enterprise contract prices from usage, capacity, and growth patterns, and supplies the analysis behind reservation and savings-plan decisions. Set up the product metrics, from sign-up to revenue, and built the internal admin tool that shows them: cloud costs mapped to customer usage for true margins, realtime revenue, and daily AI reports to Slack.
Security and compliance
The named Data Protection Officer. Ran SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 and ISO 27001 end to end, through the final audits, and keeps the company compliant under GDPR and HIPAA. Runs the quarterly ISMS and security reviews and owns the evidence gathering behind them.
Customers
Works alongside customer teams, helping them ship realtime multimodal voice, LLM serving, and AI agents. Tunes deployed models, finds the most efficient compute for each workload, onboards new teams directly, and runs their support, turning platform issues into priorities. When usage and growth plans justify it, negotiates better pricing on the customer's behalf.
Developer experience
Brings what customers say into engineering, turning usage patterns and community feedback into user experience and design improvements. Manages feature requests, the public roadmap, and the product newsletter. Writes the onboarding, documentation, technical content, and code examples that make the platform easy to build on.
Delivery and operations
Leads the product meetings and sees features through: scoping with the CEO and engineering, acceptance testing, documentation, release, and customer release notes. Ships production code, from full features to the priority fixes that keep engineering focused, and builds prototypes engineering can take straight to production. Owns incident response and the day-to-day engineering processes, and manages the cloud provider relationships.
Delivered to market
GPU checkpointing
Restores a model's full GPU state, weights and compiled kernels included, in seconds instead of rebuilding it: cold starts cut by more than 80% on some workloads.
Global distribution
A highly available global router: one deployment served worldwide, routed on latency, capacity, and health, with new regions brought online across three continents.
Multi-region, multi-cloud
Workloads pinned to a geography and replicated across regions and cloud providers, built for data sovereignty.
Faster builds
Custom container image builds sped up by 83%, and image distribution reworked so cold starts load less.
