Peter Browning
Product Leadership & Building

I'm a product leader who builds.

Twenty-five years in financial services, turning hard, regulated-data problems into working software. Most of my time now goes to what large organizations need to actually use AI: the semantic layer, agent-ready interfaces, the operating model. I build the prototypes that prove it out.

Selected Work

Exile Forge

Self-directed · consumer app

Values any dropped item in Path of Exile 2 and tells you whether to sell, craft, or vendor it — live economy data, sourced crafting steps, and honest uncertainty labels on every recommendation. Built end to end: discovery, prototyping, and AI-assisted delivery.

Semantic layer for AI readiness

JPMorgan Chase · reference data

The same golden-source field is named differently in every system, table, and feed, and scores of downstream consumers layer on their own taxonomies. I built the domain's first semantic layer — hundreds of fields across its data surfaces, enriched with governance context — because an agent can't reason over data an organization can't consistently name.

Legal-entity platform prototype

JPMorgan Chase · legal entity

An end-to-end working prototype of a next-generation legal-entity system of record, built against the real requirements of an established incumbent system. Built from designer Figmas and a spec I derived myself, using custom AI agents constrained to an approved component system — production-shaped, not a throwaway.

Agentic data quality

JPMorgan Chase · counterparty data

A working data-quality application built solo with AI-assisted development, as a proof of what one product leader can now ship. Profiles millions of records against authoritative sources, scores and confidence-routes every issue, and puts an AI agent on the ambiguous cases — with a full analyst UI, dashboard, and audit trail.

Product Leaders Who Build: What AI Is Changing About the Work

AI is shortening the distance between an idea and working proof. That changes what product leaders can contribute, how teams work with engineering and UX, and what leaders need to understand firsthand.

About

I was born and raised in Charlottesville, Virginia, and started at Capital One at eighteen. I spent close to two decades there, growing from an entry-level job to Director and picking up a real passion for technology and technical execution along the way. I've kept investing in it since, through graduate work, certifications, and lately teaching myself to build.

I moved to Delaware about ten years ago, and today I'm a Vice President of Product Management at JPMorgan Chase, in reference data. The work I care most about now is how product management changes when AI is genuinely within reach: the foundations a large organization needs to use it, and the operating model that lets a team build instead of just writing specs. It's the part that doesn't depend on me being in the room.

Outside work, I've got four grown kids and a standing preference for being near the water. I fish, I'm outdoors whenever I can be, and I follow sports closely. Most of my best thinking happens away from a screen.
