Selected work

Built around real workflows.

A selection across AI support, product quality, and user experience. Prototype results are from test environments, not production performance claims.

AI · Customer operations

Support that keeps the facts and the human in view

A workflow that reads a request, finds relevant source material, prepares a reply draft, and checks that edits preserve its meaning. A manager reviews and sends the response.

150 / 150workflow scenarios passed on the test stand after fixes

Quality assurance

A test bench for AI support answers

A web tool to run reference scenarios, compare generated answers against expected results across four criteria, review run history, and export reports.

20 / 20new-core prototype tests, including concurrent edits and restart recovery

Product research

Where customer explanations break down

A pilot analysis of 709 partial conversation histories, looking at how managers identify a request, explain a decision, and check the client's next step.

From management analysis to a working digital product.

A little about me

Taras Shilo

Digital consultant & AI systems builder

My work sits between people, products, and technology. I have worked in customer-facing roles, product management, and digital projects—from telecom installations for businesses to product flows for a TON wallet and AI-supported customer operations.

I like work that can be made clearer, tested, and improved. I care about evidence, useful design, and keeping a person responsible for the final decision.
