John Shearin

Senior Product Manager, Research Materials Management
Previously Product Manager (AI Chat) and Senior Product Owner

• Own the full product strategy and roadmap for a pharmaceutical materials management platform used for inventory, procurement, and chemical informatics.
• Defined and shipped the AI Chat and agent platform that guides users through procurement workflows, surfaces the right features, and can take actions on their behalf with real-time updates.
• Built a production RAG application (Django + LLMs) so internal teams and customers can query complex product documentation in natural language.
• Run customer interviews and stakeholder workshops, then turn those into detailed requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria that engineering can execute against.
• Design UX and generate interactive HTML prototypes with LLMs to speed up design-to-development handoff and keep stakeholders aligned early.
• Work directly with software architects on technical requirements and integrations across multiple codebases, third-party systems, and data lakes.
• Stand up product analytics (custom Python dashboards, Pendo, complex SQL) that surface inventory usage patterns and purchase optimization opportunities for customers.
• Use AI coding tools to build proof-of-concept agentic workflows and feasibility studies before bringing larger engineering efforts online.

Technical Services Analyst — Surgery Optime & Anesthesia

• Primary product person for several hospital IT teams implementing and optimizing Epic’s Surgery application.
• Used Python to define and track KPIs on perioperative workflows, then fed that data into prioritization.
• Owned the customer side of an AI/ML Surgical Site Infection risk tool. Ran demos and interviews, then turned clinical feedback into requirements for data science and engineering.
• Helped drive the web migration of the surgical workflow tool by looking at actual usage and customer impact instead of feature lists.
