Erik Holmberg

AI Product Manager

At my core, I believe great technology should feel effortless. I'm a Product Manager specializing in AI, MLOps, and developer tools, driven by a simple question: how do we make powerful capabilities accessible without sacrificing depth? I focus on the seams — where models meet products, where infrastructure meets experience — and work to make those transitions invisible.
