This role sits at the intersection of Technical Product Management, Cloud Architecture, and Software Engineering – defining product scope and business model, architecting the technical solution, and building working prototypes to validate feasibility before heavier engineering investment.
Team is AT&T Emerging Products, spanning IoT, 5G, AI, and energy. Active work includes the AI Video Intelligence platform and the Smart Energy Grid Resilience opportunity; completed work includes the ITP Portal prototype and the Video Intelligence MVP.
Day to day, the role spans both upstream and hands-on: shaping product vision and roadmap with product owners and BDMs, setting architecture and technical standards for engineering delivery, and coding directly where needed – sometimes to de-risk feasibility, sometimes because resource constraints require it.
Functionally, it's the bridge between business and engineering: translating business needs into technical direction, and technical realities into business decisions.
Roadmap and GTM Model

TAM/SAM/SOM Market Sizing
Built a validated TAM/SAM/SOM sizing and product scope for a new computer vision/sensor fusion opportunity in AT&T's energy vertical.
ISV Partner Interviews
Evaluated 6 ISV partners through direct interviews, selecting fits and routing 2 to an adjacent vertical.
Market Research Tool
Built a custom internal tool to structure and manage market research, with one-click export to working documents.
CV Platform MVP (Connection Award)
Delivered the AI Video Intelligence platform MVP with no incremental infrastructure budget or added headcount, earning AT&T's Connection Award.
Delivery Recovery (Branch Merge)
Merged conflicting branches and resolved integration issues, turning a stalled, low-confidence delivery into an on-track platform.
Angular Service Layer Standard
Architected a modular Angular service layer as the technical standard for the incoming Ericsson dev team.
Secondary Backend and RDS
Built a secondary backend and RDS integration to resolve critical delivery gaps and keep the platform on track.
Terraform CI/CD Automation
Architected and deployed Terraform-based infrastructure, automating a fully manual CI/CD deployment process.
Team Execution and Unblocking
Drove the team's execution to deadline through consistent technical direction and unblocking.
Modular Monorepo Consolidation
Restructured the codebase into a modular monorepo, eliminating duplicated code across verticals and reducing setup effort for new product lines.
Platform Technical Direction
Took initiative to lead technical direction on a platform project, working with the leadership to define use cases and build a working demo UI.
ITS Demo UI Rebuild
Rebuilt the UI for an intelligent transportation demo, replacing the prior version to meet customer-demo standards.
TXDOT Real-Data Demo
Delivered a real-data TXDOT demo in 1 week against a 4-week deadline, building a microservice to sync real-time data from Kinetica and RDS into the UI.
Multi-Tenant Platform with RBAC and Authentication
Designed and implemented multi-tenant architecture including org onboarding, RBAC roles, invite flows, and Keycloak-based authentication with tenant isolation.
Real-Time Alerting System (Kafka + WebSockets)
Rebuilt live alert pipeline using Kafka consumer, WebSocket routing, deduplication logic, and restored real-time dashboard functionality.
Backend Platform (cv-backend) Development
Built NestJS backend with PostgreSQL, S3 integration, authentication flows, and production deployment on EKS with observability and health checks.
IOU Discovery and Target Account Prioritization
Led stakeholder discovery sessions, ranked IOU pilot candidates, and identified key emerging use cases including grid risk and copper theft detection.
Security and Code Quality Enforcement
Resolved security vulnerabilities, hardened cloud policies, and implemented CI-based quality gates (linting, type checks, vulnerability scanning).
UI/UX Design Ownership
Owned UX/UI design across CV and ITP portals from wireframes through production implementation in collaboration with product owners.
Vaidio and Linker Vision AI Partner Integration
Implemented direct API integration with Vaidio and Linker Vision computer vision platforms to validate feasibility of AI vision capabilities.
