About Me

Hi! I'm Summer, an AI Product Manager with 3+ years of experience leading enterprise AI products from discovery to launch. I've built LLM-powered multi-agent systems at Roche and owned computer vision products at Tencent generating 20M+ CNY revenue.

My approach is collaborative and iterative. I believe the best AI products emerge when cross-functional teams — ML researchers, engineers, and product — are aligned around shared purpose and empowered to experiment. Whether I'm designing evaluation frameworks, running customer discovery, or driving adoption through strategic integration, I focus on removing friction and amplifying impact.

When I'm not thinking about product, you'll likely find me with my cats Cookie and Pumpkin, exploring trails around Toronto, or diving into the latest developments in AI. I'm always curious about new ideas and love connecting with fellow builders and thinkers.
