AJ’s Break Into AI Careers Qualifications

Experience level: Director

I'm an AI leader with deep hands-on experience launching AI products from 0-to-1. - Launched LLM API platform @ Fastino - Launched PII redaction agent @ Fastino - Launched AI for sales forecasting, supply chain optimization, anti money laundering, and lending products @ C3 AI ✅ Deep experience in AI fundamentals → LLMs, agents, RAG architecture, workflow automation, encoders vs decoders, alternative architectures to transformers ✅ Deep experience at the intersection of business and tech at AI companies → as a director at C3 AI I led engineering and GTM for my products My path to AI Product wasn't traditional. I started in finance as a quant (AI before it was called AI 😉) before pivoting into product roles at AI startups. I earned my MBA from UC Berkeley Haas, where I founded the university's first major AI conference. This unique background gives me a bridge between technical depth and business strategy—and I'm passionate about helping others navigate similar career transitions. I'm hands-on with both the strategic and technical side: I've run end-to-end AI evaluations, fine-tuned models, launched AI-first products from scratch, and built scalable AI workflows for production. Whether you're pivoting to AI from traditional tech, finance, consulting, or something else, I can help you get there.
