About

I'm Tina — a software engineer turned AI builder, focused on shipping AI products and growing community in public.

I work at the intersection of AI engineering, content, and community: building voice and agent-powered apps, hosting a monthly cowork meetup for AI builders in Orange County, and writing about what I learn along the way.

What I'm working on

• Manifest — an AI-powered visualization app that turns your goals into vision board videos (in development)
• VisibleBuilders — a global community of AI developers and creators shipping in public, with in-person meetups and an active Discord and WhatsApp group
• Writing — meetup recaps, technical lessons from building AI apps, and notes on what's actually hard about shipping with LLMs

What I'm interested in

RAG, voice and video agents, multi-model pipelines, evaluation when there's no ground truth, and Developer Relations — content, community, and the craft of teaching what you build.

Looking for

I'm exploring Developer Relations, Developer Experience, and Tech Advocate roles where building, writing, and community come together. Currently in Orange County, looking for opportunities in SF and NYC.

If you're hiring, building something interesting, or want to swap notes on AI tooling and community, reach out.
