Had a great time attending the Product Thinking and the Future of EPD(Engineering, product and Design) as an Engineering Leader event hosted by ELC today! A big thank you to ELC and Commure for organizing this thoughtful and engaging session—and to the amazing panel, including Dhruv Parthasarathy, Nissim Lehyani, James Tyack,Patrick Gallagher, for sharing their candid insights on how the traditional boundaries between Engineering, Product, and Design are rapidly evolving in the age of AI. Here are a few takeaways that really stuck with me: 🔹 Companies are shifting away from static PRDs and increasingly using prototypes as a discovery tool—validating ideas with customers early and often. 🔹 Hiring is changing: it’s less about checking boxes and more about finding problem solvers and clear thinkers who can adapt and lead. 🔹 When it comes to LLMs, everyone has their own “AHA moment.” Until then, keep exploring. You’ve essentially got the smartest person in your pocket—start using it to solve real problems. Excited to bring these insights back to my team and continue experimenting at the intersection of product, engineering, and AI! #EngineeringLeadership #AI #ProductThinking #ELC #LLM #TechLeadership #Prototyping #EPD

🌟 From curiosity to stage: my journey with DSPy at The Fifth Elephant A week ago, I had the incredible opportunity to speak at Hasgeek’s Fifth Elephant Conference — one of India’s most vibrant gatherings for data and AI enthusiasts. When I first started exploring DSPy (Community), I was fascinated by how it simplifies building structured, reliable AI systems — turning messy prompt engineering into a declarative, modular process. Over time, that curiosity turned into something bigger — a belief that DSPy represents the next step in how we design AI systems. In my talk, I shared how this framework can help us: 🔹 Build reasoning-centered LLM pipelines 🔹 Reduce prompt fragility through programmatic supervision 🔹 Apply these ideas to real-world problems 🎥 If you missed the session, the full recording is now available — and I would love for you to check it out: 👉 https://lnkd.in/dRBSFRF5 Whether you are building AI agents, working with LLMs, or just exploring what’s next in applied AI — I hope this talk sparks a few new ideas. #DSPy #AI #LLM #MachineLearning #fifthel #Hasgeek #AIEngineering #LLMAgents #ShiftScheduling #OpenSource Hasgeek

📊With the recent news on H1B visas, many of us might have seen a bar chart putting Amazon at the top for “most H1B visas.” It made me pause. We are given some incredible power by access to AI. But what is that power worth if we don’t ask the right questions? If we don’t question the data? 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐀 𝐅𝐋𝐔𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐘 + 𝐀𝐈 𝐅𝐋𝐔𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐘 = 𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐄𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄 Because AI can reframe, recalc, and visualize data in seconds. But without data fluency, we don’t know what to ask. So back to the H-1B visa example: • The chart said Amazon uses the most. • With AI, I asked: “per 1,000 employees?” • Suddenly Meta hops above, Amazon tumbles, and Walmart basically disappears. 💡 Being data fluent means we are critical, we know when a headline misleads. Pairing that with being AI fluent means we can use AI to test, flip, and sharpen our thinking and tell the story. We move from taking data, charts, text, or visuals at face value and we begin to see through it. 👉 Swipe my carousel Data Fluency X AI Fluency and try it yourself: What denominator would you test next? #FutureFluent #DataFluency #AIFluency #CriticalThinking
