Hired Tech Leads and Senior Engineers on the AI/ML TA team. 6 managers...Multiple reorgs....18 months: Great relationship with every manager, enjoyed learning from new team members with each shift, pivots don't faze me :) Despite the ongoing shifts, hit 136% of annual target - by Q1. The numbers are great. The people behind them are better.
