AI Product Builder

Designing for AI That Can Be Wrong

Novah Lee is an AI Product Builder with 10+ years across Samsung AI Center and IBM iX. She designs LLM products that handle uncertainty — confidence architectures, reasoning traces, override flows for high-stakes AI decisions. At Samsung she shipped the Calibrated Trust Zone pattern on a trillion-KRW IT investment platform (NPS 60→72, 30% faster onboarding) and ran the AI Bridge program that converted 40 AI projects to 21 shipped (52% vs industry <5%). She now operates an AI-native Product Lab where 24 builders ship AI MVPs in 9 weeks. Open to US relocation; remote-first roles based in APAC.
