Hey, I'mJake Mendlovic
I am a Product Manager in commercial auto insurance, focused on building AI-native products at scale. At Nirvana Insurance, I lead the push to embed AI directly into how insurance products are designed, priced, and operated – not as a layer on top, but as a core capability.
I serve as an internal AI Champion, driving adoption of tools like Cursor, Zapier, n8n, and direct LLM APIs to fundamentally change how product work gets done. My focus is on 10x-ing technical output and enabling teams by rapidly writing production-quality software for marketing analysis, actuarial studies, underwriting insights, and statistical modeling.
