David Lee

AI Product Leader | AI Agents, LLM Products, MCP | 0 to 1, Strategy to Shipped Code

Summary

I'm a product leader who still builds. These days that means AI agents people can trust to act for them. I also ship my own AI and web products end to end, from the first sketch to deployed code. Before this, I spent 13+ years in product and UX across fintech, prop tech, and health IT, helping build teams and products through two acquisitions.

Core strengths

  • AI agent products: agent design, guardrails and permissions, MCP servers and connectors, AI vendor evaluation.
  • Product leadership: strategy, roadmaps, PRFAQs, product operations, team building, sales demos, acquisition processes.
  • Hands-on building: UX and product design, prototyping, Next.js, Supabase, Vercel, PostHog analytics, Figma.

  • Defined benchmarks and eval sets for agent quality and led AI vendor evaluation.
