Product Manager & Co-Founder
Yuefan Shang
I build products at the intersection of AI and human-centered design — as a product manager by day and a startup co-founder by night.
I'm a Product Manager passionate about AI, simulation systems, and building impactful products. I currently work at Decidr, contributing to product strategy and execution in complex, data-driven environments.
I'm also the Co-Founder of BlueprintLab, where I develop AI-centric tools and frameworks that support smarter decision-making. I combine technical curiosity with real-world product impact — and when I'm not building, I'm learning a new language or picking up a new instrument.
