After 6 years as a QA Engineer at Workday, I'm now building AI products that solve real problems. What I'm Building: 🚀 TickerPod - AI-generated podcast platform that turns your stock portfolio into personalized audio updates. For busy investors who want to stay informed without doomscrolling financial news. My Background: I spent 6+ years at Workday leading QA for enterprise software used by 5,000+ companies. I prevented 100+ critical production bugs, led high-performing Scrum teams, and built automation systems that saved hundreds of hours of manual work. Now I'm applying that same attention to quality and systems thinking to AI engineering—building RAG systems, optimizing LLM pipelines, and creating products that actually ship. What I'm Learning: 🔹AI Engineering (Python, CrewAI, n8n, vector databases, prompt engineering) 🔹Full-stack development (React, Next.js, TypeScript, Python) 🔹Product development and go-to-market strategy 🔹Active in SF AIcamp community and hackathons Let's Connect: Building in public and always happy to chat about AI, product development, or quality engineering. Also down to talk pickleball, custom ring design (family business), or just grab coffee. What are you building?
