How I Built This

A product manager's approach to using AI as a research tool — and why I built a job tracker instead of just using one.

The Problem I Was Solving

After being let go from Credit Acceptance, I knew I wanted to move into a space where the mission actually mattered to me. AgeTech kept coming up — I've watched family members struggle to navigate healthcare, housing, and financial systems as they age, and I kept finding myself drawn to companies trying to fix that.

The problem: the AgeTech landscape is massive and scattered. Hundreds of companies, wildly different stages, some well-funded and scaling, others still in PowerPoint mode. I needed a way to cut through the noise systematically — not just a list of company names, but a framework for deciding which ones were actually worth my time.

The 3-Pillar Evaluation Framework

I developed three filters to quickly assess whether a company was worth pursuing for a Director/Head of Product role:

P1 · Real & Funded

Does the company have an actual product in market — not just a website and a pitch deck? And have they raised enough ($20M+, Series A or higher) to have real runway, organizational structure, and budget for product leadership?

P2 · Mission Clarity

How clearly and consistently does the company articulate its mission? I look at how they describe themselves, how employees talk about the work on Glassdoor, and whether their product decisions reflect what they say they're building for. This isn't a judgment — it's a signal about alignment.

P3 · Right Size

50–300 employees is the sweet spot for a Director-level product role. Small enough that you have real influence over culture and direction. Large enough that there's a product function, a team to lead, and enough organizational structure that you're not rebuilding everything from scratch.

Why I Built a Tool Instead of a Spreadsheet

Honestly, I started with a spreadsheet. But I kept hitting the same wall: job postings are scattered across dozens of different career pages, each formatted differently, updated inconsistently. The data was always stale by the time I got to it.

I realized what I actually needed was something that could pull live job data on demand — and since I was already using Claude to help with my search strategy, it made sense to wire the two together. The result is a hybrid: curated company evaluations that I maintain, combined with AI-powered job fetching that pulls current openings when you need them.

Building it also gave me something to show — not just a job seeker looking for a product role, but a product thinker who shipped something.

How It Works Technically

The app is a single HTML file for the frontend, with a serverless backend function hosted on Vercel. When you click "Fetch live jobs," your browser calls my backend — which holds the API key securely and makes the actual call to Anthropic's Claude API. The key never touches your browser.

What I Learned

The framework works. Running 50+ companies through three filters very quickly surfaces a shortlist of 15–20 genuinely compelling targets. It also surfaces the companies that look good on the surface but have mixed signals on mission or are too early-stage to have a real product leadership role.

The other thing I learned: direct outreach beats passive applications by a wide margin. The framework gives me something concrete to reference when I reach out to founders and product leaders — it shows I've done the work, not just sent a resume into a black hole.
