Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolNick Yap is a founder, product leader, and former nuclear engineer with 11+ years building mission-critical products across startups and enterprise teams. He combines hands-on full‑stack execution—shipping an AI children’s storybook app end-to-end in weeks using Next.js/TypeScript and agentic workflows—with strategic product leadership that scaled product orgs and roadmaps for autonomy, EV subscriptions, and monetization platforms. At Forterra and Ford he turned around multi-team programs, delivered large-scale AV and subscription platforms, and even helped deploy 100+ autonomous vehicles in a combat environment. He hires and coaches senior PMs, institutionalizes prioritization and review cadences, and pioneers practical GenAI adoption (including custom GPTs) to raise product judgment. Comfortable moving from PRDs to production code, he blends technical depth, customer empathy, and operational rigor to maximize product impact. Based in Lakeland, Florida, he’s driven by solving hard problems that fuse technology and business—often by learning unfamiliar stacks on the fly.
