I’m DJ Asuncion, a project manager across AI data projects and web/e-commerce delivery. At Pareto Inc., I’m an AI Project Manager. I manage AI data and model-evaluation projects involving frontier AI labs, including Anthropic, Google DeepMind and OpenAI.
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. Now, as an AI Project Manager at Pareto Inc., I manage AI data and model-evaluation projects. The operations habit stayed with me: find the decision nobody is making, and make it easy to make.

Project Manager
Outcome
The platform was delivered on time and within budget, protecting launch readiness and preventing overrun costs.
The team needed a scalable e-commerce platform delivered within a fixed launch window.
Project Manager
Lazy loading and code-splitting shipped without slipping the content calendar, and performance moved from a post-launch cleanup task into the release checklist.
Project Manager
Technical and content SEO shipped in sequence rather than competing for the same release windows, leaving the organic channel with a maintained foundation instead of a one-off push.
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.
