ABOUT CRAIG TENNEY
Software Engineering Leader & AI Engineer | Specializing in AI-First Product TransformationI am a technology leader with a career-long commitment to building high-performing teams and scalable systems for market leaders like Ancestry and Wayfair. I believe the next frontier of software isn\'t just \"adding AI,\" but reimagining core value through an AI-native lens—one that promotes human flourishing and user agency. After a decade of leading large-scale engineering organizations, I’ve returned to my roots as a builder. I am currently focused on the GCP/Python ecosystem, leveraging Gemini 3.0 Pro, Claude 4.5, and Agentic (A2A) protocols to bridge the gap between complex prototypes and production-ready MVPs. My Current Focus: AI Architecture: Developing agentic systems that prioritize privacy and utility in the health and travel sectors.* Strategic Leadership: Helping CTOs and innovation cells rewrite their legacy apps as AI-first platforms.* Hands-on Prototyping: Rapidly building from 0 to 1 using FastAPI, Vertex AI, and the Antigravity IDE. I thrive in environments where technology is used to enhance human relationships and well-being. If you are looking for a partner to lead an \"AI-first\" special projects team or architect a mission-critical MVP, let’s connect. c••••@craigtenney.com | plughtera.com
