Ravi Shankar — Product Manager
I’m a product leader building hardware-adjacent platforms and AI systems for real-world safety. At Amazon, I lead products across safety data and telematics platforms, electric vehicle framework platforms, and edge-based safety applications that actively reduce on-road risk at fleet scale. My work spans developer platforms and APIs, real-time edge systems that intervene in the moment, and AI-powered automation that ensures vehicles are roadworthy and compliant. A growing part of my focus is vehicle inspection automation, applying computer vision, guided capture, and LLM-assisted workflows to standardize quality, increase trust, and reduce operational friction in safety-critical environments. I bring over a decade of experience across product management and applied AI, including roles at Amazon and American Express, working at the intersection of hardware, software, data, and human decision-making. Here, I write about AI product leadership, platforms, and building systems that work reliably in the real world where safety, scale, and trust matter more than demos.
