VITALIIKARASOV

Product Manager who builds. From strategy to working AI-powered MVP — without a dev team.

PRODUCT MANAGER · AI ENGINEER · PRINCE2 CERTIFIED

Most product managers hand off specs and wait. I write the spec, build the system, and ship it — in days, not quarters.

I work with founders and teams who need to move fast: validate an idea, automate a painful workflow, or launch an AI-powered MVP from scratch. No handoffs, no telephone game between PM and dev — one person who owns the product end to end.

MSc in Strategic Project Management. PRINCE2 Certified. 4+ years managing products, teams, and budgets up to 1.5M+ PLN — from EdTech platforms to humanitarian crisis operations.

SELECTED WORK

MULTI-AGENT RESEARCH ENGINE

A client's research team was spending 15+ hours per week on manual competitive analysis. I identified the bottleneck, designed a multi-agent pipeline with 4 specialized AI roles, built and deployed it in 5 days. Result: 3-hour research tasks completed in 2 minutes. Fully automated, one webhook call.

AI LEAD QUALIFICATION BOT

Inbound leads were falling through the cracks — slow response times, no prioritization, manual copy-paste into spreadsheets. I scoped the problem, designed a qualification logic (hot/warm/cold scoring), and built an automated pipeline that classifies and responds to every lead in under 5 seconds. Connected to Google Sheets for CRM tracking.

AI PHOTO CULLING TOOL

After every photoshoot, I was spending 1–2 hours manually reviewing hundreds of RAW files. I defined the scoring criteria, designed the workflow, and built a CLI tool that reads RAW files, extracts EXIF data, and uses GPT Vision to score each photo 1–1000. Processed 121 photos in 15 minutes for ~$0.35. Now I use it after every shoot.

FREELANCER DEV TOOLKIT

I was repeating the same setup steps on every new project — scaffolding, linting, deploy scripts, client reports. I productized my own workflow into a reusable toolkit: custom Claude Code commands that handle project initialization, automated code review, deployment checklists, and client-facing reports. Saved 2+ hours per project start.

About

WHO I AM

I'm Vitalii Karasov — a product manager who doesn't just write specs and wait. I take products from zero to launch: strategy, architecture, build, deploy.

PRINCE2 certified with an MSc in Strategic Project Management. Over 4+ years I've launched EdTech platforms, built AI-powered content pipelines, and managed crisis operations with budgets exceeding 1.5M PLN — coordinating teams, stakeholders, and logistics under pressure.

Today I work as a fractional product lead for founders and small teams: scoping MVPs, building multi-agent AI systems, and shipping products in days instead of months. One person, full ownership, no handoffs.

Beyond products, I document the world through a lens. Aesthetics and structure matter to me — whether it's the architecture of an AI pipeline or the composition of a photograph.
