About the Author

Paden Gayle is a Forward Deployed AI Engineer at Notion, where he builds and deploys production AI systems inside enterprise environments.

His path there did not run through a computer science degree. It ran from Juilliard, through business school, into client delivery as a technical architect at Accenture, and into software engineering at Bloomberg and Google, before he became one of the first engineers to formally move into the Forward Deployed AI Engineer role. The job is part engineer, part consultant, part product thinker, part founder, and each stop on that route supplied one of the parts. He writes from inside the role rather than about it. 24,000 engineers follow his work on LinkedIn, many of them making the same move he made.
