Korbinian Kasberger PRODUCT OWNERSHIP / AGENTIC ENGINEERING

PRODUCT OWNER AGENTIC ENGINEER

I turn complex business problems into working AI products — from the first client workshop to architecture, agentic engineering, and production delivery.

At TIKI, I manage a key client account and own the AI product journey — from understanding the client’s business to setting direction and building what ships.

How I actually
work.

From the first conversation to a product people can use. I connect client understanding, product ownership, and the engineering that makes agentic AI work.

[ 01 ]

Start with the real problem

I work with clients to understand their goals, map workflows and constraints, and decide where agentic AI can make a useful difference. The first workshop should clarify the problem before we commit to a solution.

[ 02 ]

Own the product and the trade-offs

I turn that understanding into scope, priorities, and architecture decisions. Owning a key account means keeping the business outcome in view and making the trade-offs clear to clients and the team building the product.

[ 03 ]

Take it through to production

I connect product ownership with full-stack and agentic engineering — staying involved as the work moves from design into implementation, delivery, and operation. I understand what it takes to build the product, not only to define it.

shipped.

Academic Research

Supply Chain Traceability System

Transparent supply chain tracking system for the beverage industry. Immutable records for manufacturing, storage, transport, and retail stages with a React-based verification UI.

Explore the thesis +

Overview

This thesis explored the application of distributed ledger technology for transparent and verifiable supply chain management in regulated industries.

Methodology

Comprehensive market research of existing solutions for supply chain management, analyzing their strengths and limitations. This led to strict technical and business requirements for a beverage industry use case, including traceability, regulatory compliance (GDPR), tamper-evidence, and cost-effectiveness.

Implementation

Architected and developed an immutable record-keeping system for tracking products through the supply chain. Each step (manufacturing, storage, transport, retail) is recorded with full traceability. A React-based UI allows stakeholders to query product history and verify authenticity.

Impact

Demonstrated that distributed systems provide a viable solution for supply chain transparency when designed for regulatory compliance. The architecture introduced asset tracking concepts applicable across multiple industries.

Experience that
connects the dots.

Today at TIKI, I connect key-account product ownership with agentic AI engineering — from client workshops and discovery to architecture, implementation, and delivery. My engineering background means I can work through both what should be built and how to make it work.

I started by writing interfaces for factory machines at Krones, which is an excellent way to learn that software has consequences you can hear from across a room.

At IBM I moved from leading a backend team on a regulated healthcare product to sitting with enterprise and German government clients as a solution architect — running architecture workshops, threat models and technical due diligence.

Then three years at Taiko Labs owning every user-facing product end to end: a team of four engineers and a designer, 700k+ users, $40M+ moved, zero downtime on the transfer system.

TIKI

Key Account Manager & Product Owner, Agentic AI Solutions

As Key Account Manager for TIKI’s US key account, I own the client relationship alongside product direction, connecting business goals with agentic AI products. I work across the full delivery lifecycle: client workshops and discovery, product scope and priorities, architecture, agentic engineering, and delivery. Product ownership grounded in an understanding of how the system is built.
