# Julius Shipman > AI-Driven Professional | QA Automation & Prompt Engineering | Financial Literacy & Algorithmic Systems | Building Tools That Educate & Empower Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/juliusshipman I’m an educator-turned-technologist and curriculum developer with 10 years of experience connecting classroom innovation, algorithmic trading, and quality assurance. Currently, I partner with Taylor Nixon—founder of The Mishandled Genius—as a Curriculum Developer, designing AI-enhanced math tutoring content and data-driven learning modules. Our focus is improving conceptual fluency and instructional accessibility through adaptive practice and real-world application. In education, I led AI-powered math and financial-literacy programs that raised student proficiency 70 % and family engagement 20 %. In FinTech, I applied that same rigor to algorithmic-trading QA—building test matrices and runbooks that improved execution accuracy 40 %. Today I help teams and learners adopt AI responsibly—translating complex tools into measurable outcomes.
