About Karl Hite

Developing great software test engineers, quality process, and a general culture of excellence. Helping engineers, teams, and products #get-good. AI Stuff: As a Sci-fi nerd and a general optimist, it\'s pretty exciting to see GenAI tech getting in all the things. I\'m particularly passionate about safety, evaluation, and impact. At Qualtrics, I\'m helping steer the strategy on AI use in the tools we use to test and on testing software which incorporates AI tech.For fun, I\'m pedaling a bike, paddling a kayak, cooking something tasty, or running around with my kids.

Experience

1. Quality Engineering Manager

   Oct 2021 — Present

   Building a team of creative, technical, and efficient test engineers. We\'re responsible for platform functionality, so we\'re invested in the experience of the end user as well as our internal parters. We automate the boring stuff so we have more time to experiment, innovate, and hone the craft. Lately: AI Quality Strategy—managing hype vs. brass tacks for AI test tooling and testing AI features.(I type em-dashes, FYI. it\'s just opt+shift+hyphen)
