About me

Penny spent over a decade as a VC and business angel, investing in 30+ deep-tech companies. After hearing one too many founders confidently claim "we're building our own proprietary LLM," she decided to learn to code just to find out if they were serious. It turned out to be a one-way street. 🤣🤣 🤣

Today, Penny is a hands-on founder and principal architect, building the production-grade AI systems she always wished she was investing in.

She's here to talk shop with fellow builders about the joys of 'database-as-orchestrator' patterns, why 'RAG for Factuality' is the only RAG that matters, and to finally get a straight answer on who's actually fine-tuning anything...?
