Erman Yaman, Full-Stack
Product Leader.
I take B2B and enterprise platforms from concept to market, and build the teams, standards and operating rhythm that keep them shipping, with AI built into how we design, build and decide. Most recently: McLane360, a unified customer platform our team took from concept to launch in six months, and ValuFact, an AI-native financial-intelligence product I built end to end.

Expertise
How I lead strategy, operations and product experience, with AI built in.
Product Strategy
I take products from concept to business case to market, decide where AI genuinely changes the product, and make the trade-offs that keep a roadmap honest.
Product Operations
I build the operating rhythm a product organization runs on: steering, planning, shared standards, visible delivery and AI-assisted ways of working.
UX & Product Experience
I treat experience as the product: shared design standards, AI-assisted prototypes built in code, and satisfaction measured against a target.
Key Achievements
Data-driven results across enterprise and consumer products.

Key Strengths
Self-Sufficient
Most can tell what needs to be done; a few can show how. I prototype in code and have shipped production features myself, and I build teams that work the same way: our AI-assisted prototyping practice at McLane cut UI design cycles from months to one to two weeks.
Resourceful
I accomplish more with less, and I buy before I build until an idea is validated. At Storia that meant growing past a million monthly users on a startup budget; at Frumatic it meant turning an in-house UX capability into a service line that brought in 20% of 2022 revenue.
Analytical
I decide with evidence and set the bar before the result is in: satisfaction targets for launches, pre-registered acceptance tests for models, and a plain rule instead of AI wherever the rule measures better.
