Desu ImudiaDesu Imudia

I'm Desu. I build AI products for my 9–5 and spend the rest of my time following curiosity wherever it leads.

At work, I'm a product manager with engineering roots, which means I ask a lot of "how does this actually work" questions and care deeply about building things that aren't just impressive, but usable. I spend most of my time turning complex systems into products people can navigate without thinking twice.

Right now, that looks like working on generative AI at enterprise scale, helping shape how people interact with intelligent systems in real workflows.

Outside of that, I'm a self-appointed queen of side quests. I travel a lot, care deeply about film and storytelling, and somehow ended up very invested in motorsport. I like things that feel a little chaotic but still intentional, which is probably how I approach both life and product.
