I currently lead AI solutions inside the learning org of a large business/accounting SaaS company. In practice I'm the person who takes an ambiguous "could AI do this?" and comes back with either a working prototype or a defensible reason not to build one.
Before this: eight years designing learning experiences, 14 years as a Canadian Forces communications systems tech, and sysadmin/service work.
Looking for: product or solutions roles in learning technology — LXP/LMS vendors, ed-tech, or in-house enablement teams that want someone who can build the thing and also step through the procurement, legal, and security compliance requirements when sensitive data is involved.
