      "answer": "https://vantage.streamio.ai \u2014 Vantage is a live AI job search and interview prep platform (iOS, macOS, web) I built and shipped end-to-end. It runs 40+ agent tools over a FastAPI backend with SSE streaming, enforced mutation approvals, an automated AI judge for STAR behavioral rehearsal, and App Store\u2013compliant monetization. The architecture decisions around where the agent acts autonomously versus stops and asks the user were central to the design, and I iterated on those boundaries directly from user behavior in production."

      "question": "Describe one AI product or feature you shipped that people other than you used.",
      "answer": "At Intuit, I shipped ICE Presence \u2014 an AI-powered async chat feature that detected when a user moved a session to the foreground and triggered contextually relevant messaging. It generated $480K/month in additional invoicing and ran across QuickBooks, TurboTax, Mint, Mailchimp, and Credit Karma at 675M+ engagements in FY23. I owned the product direction, worked with telemetry data in BigQuery to measure engagement lift, and partnered with engineering to hit sub-100ms latency on iOS and Android. More recently, I shipped Fintellect AI \u2014 a mobile-first AI financial platform (iOS/Android/Web, live on the App Store) with 13 specialized AI advisors backed by a RAG pipeline (ChromaDB, Claude/GPT-4/Gemini with fallback routing) and a paper trading engine on live Alpaca market data. Real users onboard through a 13-step personalized flow and interact with agents that give context-aware investing guidance \u2014 the key design challenge was calibrating where the agent should offer a recommendation versus surface uncertainty, which I iterated on through customer discovery interviews and usage data post-launch."
