About Juliana Seawell

I help large, complex enterprises adopt AI and cloud technology — and I care deeply about where that technology is headed.For the past 9+ years, I\'ve served as a trusted technical advisor to CFOs, CIOs, and IT leaders at organizations ranging from high-growth startups to multi-billion-dollar enterprises. I lead engagements from technical discovery through deployment, translating complex business requirements into scalable solutions across ERP, CRM, and financial systems. Most recently, I\'ve proposed, demoed, and deployed Claude AI integrations (MCP) for automated testing and finance workflows at regulated enterprises, navigating AI governance processes to move organizations from cautious interest to production deployment.Outside of my consulting practice, I conduct independent AI alignment research as a volunteer with Compassion in Machine Learning (CaML) through the Futurekind AI Fellowship. My current research investigates whether compassionate values introduced during pretraining can persist through fine-tuning — work that looks at AI safety through the lens of considering all sentient beings.Specialties: Enterprise cloud ERP (NetSuite, Sage Intacct), LLM integration & API development (Claude, Gemini, GPT), AI governance, pre-sales technical consultation, financial systems transformation, evaluation framework design, Python, SQL
