# Vance Poitier

> Customer Focused AI & Design Engineer. He builds reliable AI systems into software products, new ones and ones that already exist, so the AI feels like a natural, dependable part of the product rather than a bolt-on, and the experience stays seamless for the people using it. He works both sides of that problem: the AI engineering underneath and the design of the experience on top. Reach him at https://www.linkedin.com/in/vance-poitier/ or Vance@Stratir.com or https://github.com/AXRoux.
