Vinita Navani
Quality Assurance Manager, Financials @ Workday
About
I’m an AI product builder in progress, currently building a side product that applies LLM/RAG concepts to real user workflows. I’m focused on shipping something useful end-to-end—combining full-stack development with practical AI patterns and strong evaluation habits. My foundation is 14+ years in enterprise software quality and delivery, including deep Workday product/domain expertise across Core HCM, Talent, and Recruiting. That experience shapes how I build AI: clear success metrics, thoughtful tradeoffs, and a strong focus on reliability. I’m especially interested in the intersection of building + AI quality—LLM evaluation, retrieval relevance, regression testing, and monitoring as systems evolve. I’m targeting roles such as AI Product Builder / AI Engineer (RAG) / LLM Quality & Evaluation Lead / Technical Lead, while also open to QE Manager and Workday ecosystem opportunities where my domain depth and delivery discipline are a strong fit.
