Founding PM / AI Product Manager

I was the entire product team.

Product, design, architecture, and QA all ran through one person. I worked with AI tools and shipped a real, live application. Clever Pilgrim is a trust-first travel planning platform. You build and control the itinerary. AI shapes suggestions and writes the narrative, but it never hands you a finished itinerary in one shot. I conceived it, specified it, and shipped it solo. I directed nearly 3,000 build iterations without writing code myself.

Now looking for Founding PM, AI Product Manager, or product roles at early-stage or founder-led companies.

Solo, non-technical founder

Nearly 3,000 build iterations
recorded edit history across the build
Live in Founders Beta
