I am a computer scientist by education, Sr. Product Manager by profession. I now work at Cerence (formerly Nuance Automotive) in Aachen, Germany. I am part of the In-car application team and driving innovation in conversational AI-related products for tier-1 OEMs. I am responsible for the success of a few next-gen innovative conversational AI products of Cerence. Some of the existing products I own are already on the road in leading car makers. My role is quite unconventional, and I work at the intersection of conversational AI research and business unit, with a concrete understanding of both domains. Hence, I not only understand how AI can improve businesses, but I do understand how to build AI models from scratch.
