Product Owner | Applied AI/ML Researcher | Intelligent Products & Digital Transformation
Overview
I am a Product Owner with more than five years of experience working on digital products in cross-functional, international teams. My work is mainly about turning unclear business goals and operational needs into a prioritized backlog, with requirements that balance user needs, business value and technical feasibility.
I also work on the research side. I completed an MSc in Data Analytics in 2020 and am currently studying for a second MSc in AI/ML at Halmstad University. My thesis and published papers deal with real-time prediction on edge hardware. This has made me more evidence-driven in product decisions and more careful about solutions that have not been tested under realistic conditions.
I have worked in consulting, in in-house product teams and in delivery operations, covering the full cycle from discovery and requirement shaping through to delivery, validation and adoption. What matters most to me is whether a delivered product actually solves the problem it was meant to solve.
