I am the technical product owner for a product which is a deep learning based computer vision platform. It is a deep tech product featuring generative AI and foundation models designed to address our domain-specific challenges. I am located in the AI research division, working alongside research scientists holding PhDs and research engineers.

My contributions are multi-faceted:

1. Despite having a technical background in software engineering and lacking expertise in machine learning/deep learning, I am actively building my skills in DL. This enables me to understand the DL features (training, inference loops, segmenation, object detection and fine-tuning etc) required by the domain and how they should be developed in the backend and frontend.

2. On occasions, I also delve directly into DL code to solve some minor bugs to enhance my understanding which allows me to make more informed decisions.

The DL skill set proves beneficial during customer product onboarding sessions because the customers are technical and ask lots of deep learning questions. It also helps in the effective communication with both frontend and backend teams, helping them visualize the problem and determine the necessary workflows to support DL processes.

So, yes. I am upskilling myself in DL to stay relevant in the AI product management.
