Coffee & Meet #26 : Career reinvention: from finance leadership to engineering to founding a product

TOPICS

Career reinvention: from finance leadership to engineering to founding a product

Prompting as a practical skill: frameworks, and why most people's prompts underperform

AI adoption without losing the human: where it helps, where it quietly breaks things

How to attend a conference like a speaker, not an attendee: getting on the agenda, and being remembered when you are not on it

Why join

Most people talk about AI from one side, either the technical build or the business slide. Aziz has sat on three. He spent over a decade running financial operations for a multi-campus school network as CFO, then worked as a software engineer on enterprise front-end and test automation, and now runs flowlyst, helping K-12 leaders and enterprises adopt AI without losing the human part of the work. He is also co-creator of the TADA prompting framework and a keynote speaker.

That path means he can answer the questions that usually fall between roles. What makes a team keep using a tool instead of dropping it after two weeks. How to write prompts that hold up in real work. What it takes to change direction mid-career, twice.

Short talks with questions after each one, and a break in the middle. Bring your questions, and bring a real task you are stuck on. We will prompt it live.
