Ryan W.

Ex-Amazon, built & scaled products leading to 2x acquisitions

I'm a technical product leader with over a decade of experience architecting AI systems, scaling enterprise platforms, and driving innovation at both startups and Fortune 500 companies. At Amazon, I led cross-functional teams implementing fine-tuned LLMs and predictive analytics that transformed partner operations and payment systems, impacting millions of customers across 20+ countries.

Previously, I built AI-powered content analysis platforms processing millions in creator royalties, and led teams developing automated workflows that reduced manual operations by 85%. My experience spans complex technical domains including machine learning infrastructure, payment systems, and enterprise API platforms.

Currently partnering with technology companies to help product development teams become AI native, focusing on practical integration of machine learning into core workflows and decision-making processes. I guide teams in building and scaling AI-driven products while establishing the right frameworks for responsible development.

Passionate about transforming traditional product teams into AI-first organizations, particularly in developing systems that drive measurable business value while maintaining high standards for security and ethics.
