About
Hi, I'm Kevin.
I moved from industrial networking support into product management and now plan AI software products at ASUS NUC. This site also holds my side projects and notes on turning ideas into something I can use.
What have I been working on?
I'm Kevin, and I'm exploring career opportunities in AI product management and technical product management.
I share AI tools and workflows on ai.work.smarter. Through personal projects and local AI experiments on a NUC, I explore how these technologies can be useful in practice.
Some things work well; others still need figuring out. I want to share the process, too: what I tried, how I thought about it, and what I'd like to try next.
Career journey
From solving customer problems to planning the next product.
I started in technical support, then moved into software requirements and product ownership. Today I bring that experience to on-device AI. Across those roles, I still start by asking what someone is trying to accomplish.

How I approach a project
A few questions before I start building.
Understand who it's for
Listen to how people do things today and where they get stuck.
Try one small piece
Something people can try makes it easier to discuss what needs changing.
Look back at what happened
Keep a record of the results, including anything that turned out differently than expected.
