# Alex Ung > Exploring AI for Compliance | ex-Lyft Location: Los Angeles, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/alexung I’m a former software engineer at Lyft. After a decade+ of building and scaling consumer products, I decided to step away to explore what I want to build next. Right now, I’m spending time talking to operators, founders, HR folks and my mom about where AI can help with compliance. If you’ve built, bought, or evaluated tools in this space, I’d love to hear what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what you wish existed. ✌🏼 ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ Lyft Jan 2018 – Jan 2025 | Los Angeles, California, United States Tech lead building beautiful experiences for express drive. ### Software Engineer @ HERE Technologies Jan 2017 – Jan 2018 | San Francisco Bay Area HERE Technologies enables people, enterprises and cities around the world to harness the power of location and create innovative solutions that make our lives safer and more efficient.
