About Lawrence

My Journey in AI & Product

It all started when I realized that the most impactful AI solutions aren't just about the technology—they're about understanding human needs and translating them into meaningful experiences.

With a Master's in Information Systems Management from Carnegie Mellon, I've bridged the gap between technical AI capabilities and real-world product applications. My journey spans from software engineering foundations to founding AI-driven startups.

As the Founder & CEO of Expired Solutions, I built an AI platform that reduces grocery waste by up to 20% using computer vision and GPT. This experience taught me that successful AI products require both technical excellence and deep user empathy.

Today, I'm passionate about creating AI solutions that don't just automate processes, but genuinely improve lives. I believe the future belongs to product managers who can speak both languages—technical AI and human experience.
