I’m DJ Asuncion, a project manager. Most of my work has been software, web and e-commerce builds: taking a brief to a launched product with the team, budget and client in step. Most recently, I ran AI data projects at Pareto Inc., working with frontier labs such as Anthropic, Google DeepMind, OpenAI, ByteDance and others.
I started in 2010 as a customer service representative. It taught me something unglamorous and durable, and I have never found a project where it stopped being true.
When work goes wrong, it is rarely because nobody knew. It is because nobody owned it.
From there I taught myself digital marketing, moved into BPO operations and project management, and worked through the freeCodeCamp curriculum so I could hold my own in technical conversations rather than translate them second-hand. Most recently, as an AI Project Manager at Pareto Inc., I managed AI data and model-evaluation projects. The operations habit stayed with me: find the decision nobody is making, and make it easy to make.

Tell me where delivery is going sideways — the scope that keeps moving, the decision nobody will make, the date that stopped being believable. I read every message myself and reply within one business day.
