Project Details

Problem & Context

Traditional hardware control systems require months of manual tuning of intricate parameters and logic to fit specific data sets. Engineers waste significant time and resources trying to align simulation models with real-world hardware behavior, creating a barrier to efficient product development.

My Contributions

As Chief Product Officer, I led the product development lifecycle from proof-of-concept to MVP, working directly with the CEO and COO on strategic operations. I owned the user web application product roadmap and strategy, designed the interface in Figma, and contributed to application development using React.js and Python. I helped transform Onyx Engine from a concept into a production-ready platform that simplifies complex hardware control through AI-powered modeling.

Impact & Results

Onyx Engine dramatically reduces the time required to create accurate hardware control models from months to just an hour of real-world data. This enables engineers to focus on innovation rather than parameter tuning, accelerating product development cycles and reducing time-to-market for hardware products.

Challenges & Solutions

The primary challenge was bridging the gap between complex AI/ML backend systems and an intuitive user experience. I had to design a web application that made sophisticated AI model training accessible to engineers without deep machine learning expertise. Additionally, evolving the product from POC to MVP required careful prioritization of features, balancing technical capabilities with user needs while working closely with the executive team to align product strategy with business objectives.
