Kieran Maynard

AI Product Manager & Builder

I scope, build, and ship AI products that do real work: LLM pipelines, agentic systems, and research APIs. I spent 11+ years at Google and Roblox applying AI to trust & safety, transparency, and compliance at scale.

I came from the humanities, specifically linguistics, East Asian literature, and translation, then taught myself to code through curiosity and necessity. I didn't set out to become a PM. I became one by building automation scripts, SQL pipelines, RAG and agentic AI systems, and Chrome extensions. Eventually, I had built enough to prove I already was a PM.

What I do

AI & LLM Products

RAG chatbots, bulk LLM inference pipelines, agentic systems, and AI-powered automation for enterprise operations at scale.

AI for Trust & Safety & Transparency

Applying AI and automation to transparency reporting, content moderation, and regulatory obligations (EU DSA, CMA, AB 587), turning trust & safety work into scalable, audit-ready systems.

Data & Automation

Advanced SQL, Python pipelines, and end-to-end automation replace high-stakes manual processes with reliable, repeatable systems.

Cross-functional Leadership

Translating complex regulatory and business requirements into technical direction across Engineering, Legal, Policy, and executive stakeholders.

Featured Product

DSA VLOP Transparency Query API

transparency.kieranmaynard.com · live

A live research API and interactive dashboard over EU Digital Services Act transparency data from 33 designated Very Large Online Platforms (H2 2025). Its async job / poll API uses a safe, structured query interface modelled on the TikTok Research API and accepts no arbitrary SQL. Browse cross-platform enforcement statistics, run queries across 9 DSA report tables, or ask questions in plain English using the Claude-powered NL Ask box. Open-source, deployed on Cloud Run.
