As a software engineer at Thoughtworks, I’m always striving to learn and grow within my field. That’s why I was thrilled to be involved in the development of PromptCamp, our company’s initiative to train our employees on advanced artificial intelligence skills.
PromptCamp is designed to bridge the gap between theoretical AI knowledge and practical application, equipping our colleagues with the skills needed to contribute meaningfully to our AI-driven projects. I was fortunate enough to be a key member of the leadership team for this project, working alongside talented engineers to design and deliver high-quality training materials.
My role as a direct trainer on the Solution Design track (for the builders…) involved providing personalized guidance and mentorship to colleagues at all skill levels. I addressed challenges they were facing in client engagements when working with AI/ML in software development and consulting. I’m particularly passionate about helping individuals grasp complex AI concepts like natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning, and I believe that PromptCamp has been instrumental in fostering a deeper understanding of these technologies within our team. The day I was laid off (mass reorg) I gave my last seminar on the peculiarities of AI21’s model Jamba and its large context window.
The impact of PromptCamp goes beyond individual skill development; it empowers our entire organization to leverage the power of AI for innovative solutions for clients. I’m proud to have played a part in this initiative, and to the rest of the leadership team and all the amazing speakers I owe much gratitude for all I was fortunate to learn from them.
