> Forward Deployed Engineer @ Vooma (YC W23)

Location: San Francisco, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/abeljoseph

I am an engineer and builder working on reasoning-driven AI systems.

I joined Vooma as their first Forward Deployed Engineer to build AI agents to supercharge logistics operators.

Previously, at Oliver Wyman, I helped design and deploy AI solutions across a wide variety of use cases and industries.

I studied Biomedical Engineering at UWaterloo, and I’m interested in how reasoning benchmarks, evals, and agentic workflows can make AI systems more reliable and useful.

Big on fast prototyping, clean infrastructure, and shipping practical tools that actually move the needle.
