    • Apply applied expertise in artificial intelligence, generative AI, and agentic technology (including Gemini, Vertex AI, and GECX) to build compelling product narratives and define qualitative and quantitative business value cases.
    • Translate abstract client needs into actionable product goals, user stories, success metrics, and sprint backlogs, ensuring solutions are built as scalable products rather than bespoke project deliverables.
