Turning Customer Data into personalized products - at scale
I’m Heather Alvey, an AI Product Manager focused on personalization, identity, and real-world product impact across retail and digital experiences.
Most companies have the data. Few turn it into meaningful customer experiences.
HOW I BUILD AI-POWERED PERSONALIZATION
A simple model for turning raw data into real customer experiences
HOW I THINK ABOUT AI PRODUCTS
Personalization is a system—not a feature
It’s not one model or one surface.
It’s how data, identity, and experience connect across the product.
Better signals beat more data
Volume doesn’t create value.
Understanding behavior and intent does.
AI doesn’t replace product thinking—it raises the bar
The hard part isn’t building the model.
It’s defining the right problem, inputs, and success metrics.
WHAT I’M EXPLORING NOW
AI is changing how products are built—not just how they scale.
I’m currently focused on:
Personalization systems powered by AI
Real-time decisioning and customer context
Bridging digital and physical experiences
Turning AI prototypes into production-ready products
