Apple, Cupertino, CA

Technical Program Management

• Led cross-functional execution of a multilingual AI data collection program spanning 500K+ ML assets, 150+ batches, and 2 external vendors; managed priorities, dependencies, QA capacity, and quality risks to support engineering development.

• Drove day-to-day execution through daily vendor reviews and weekly leadership updates, tracking milestones, surfacing blockers, and aligning cross functional teams on QA protocol changes to mitigate delivery risks.

• Reconciled 350K+ asset records across vendor sources, QA records, and batch reports within one month, providing stakeholders with a validated view of program health.

• Reduced manual QA review volume by 30% by identifying duplicate vendor assets as a recurring bottleneck and partnering with a cross-regional technical team to implement an LLM-powered deduplication workflow.

• Conducted 100+ user research sessions, including Wizard-of-Oz studies, usability tests and Voice-of-Customer interviews to surface gap between current products and user needs.

• Owned end-to-end operations for multilingual user studies, partnering with engineering teams and external vendors to coordinate scheduling, configure environments, and validate data for completeness and accuracy.

AI Data Operations & User Research  

• Led the 0-to-1 development of PMA Apply, an AI-powered job application agent, owning product strategy, MVP scoping, PRDs, success metrics, and end-to-end UI/UX design.

• Partnered with engineering to architect the AI application workflow, integrating document parsing, a structured user-profile database, LLM orchestration, browser automation, and human-in-the-loop guardrails to ground generated responses and improve workflow reliability.
