About this listen

"Engineering with AI" is a conversation with tech leaders about what their teams are doing, what coding tools they're adopting and how- in tiny startups, in bigger teams, and in large enterprises on their digital journey, and in digital native scale-ups.

We're focusing on how things are different now; what "best practices" and cultural touchstones are holding up well, and which ones are changing. How do we staff teams differently now? How do we mentor? What processes are missing; which are feeling less worthwhile?

Host Kyle Hodgson is an Executive Technology Consultant who specializes in shipping innovative solutions even through tough challenges, who partners with Navalia. With deep experience in agile engineering, climate tech, and enterprise architecture, Kyle brings a practitioner's perspective to conversations about AI adoption. Learn more at engwith.ai
