I'm a product design engineer trained as an anthropologist, which is mostly a way of saying I go and find the problem before I design for it. Most of that has gone into human-in-the-loop AI for expert users: sitting with the people doing the work, watching where the task actually breaks, and deciding what an agent should and should not be trusted with.
