Everyone’s chasing AI. I get it — it’s flashy. But I’m focused on something else: job security, sustainability, and roles that can’t be automated overnight.
Business Intelligence, Compliance, and QA might not sound sexy, but these roles keep businesses from imploding. They’re the quiet backbone of every major org. And guess what? These roles aren’t going away.
We’re in a weird moment. AI is replacing junior roles. Layoffs are slamming engineers. But behind the scenes? Companies still need dashboards, clean data, tested systems, and airtight risk compliance.
I’m intentionally designing a tech path rooted in stability, autonomy, and long-term value. These roles:
Require critical thinking, not constant code
Rely on attention to detail, not clout
Offer remote/hybrid flexibility
Allow individual contributors like me to thrive
My pivot is intentional. It’s not about chasing trends — it’s about building long-term stability.
