Adam Siemer — Senior AI Engineer & Tech Lead

I build at the rare intersection of technical depth and business fluency — two business degrees, twelve years of engineering — leading AI teams, shipping at scale, and turning emerging technology into real, lasting impact.

From GenAI product development at McKinsey to cloud resiliency at Capital One and emerging tech prototypes at PwC, I've worked at the intersection of software engineering and strategic impact.
