Product Manager×AI Builder

Kiran Khutal

About me

Banking product strategy meets hands-on AI engineering.

I'm a Product Manager at TD Bank with over a decade of experience across Canada's banking landscape — from the challenger energy of EQ Bank to the scale of one of the Big 5. I've owned deposit strategy, digital banking experiences, and the P&L that comes with them.

But here's what makes me different: I don't just define AI product strategy — I build with it. I design and ship real AI-powered tools using LLMs, agents, MCP servers, and RAG pipelines. No hand-waving. No "AI-powered" buzzwords on a slide. Working software.

I sit at an unusual intersection: I understand financial services regulation, deposit products, and what it takes to move a billion-dollar portfolio — and I can architect an end-to-end AI pipeline over a weekend. That combination is rare, and it's what I bring to every team I work with.

This wasn't about writing better prompts. It was about architecting a full pipeline: ingestion, embedding, retrieval, generation, and voice output — all working together.
