# Katie Kennedy > Software @ BrightSign Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/katiekennedy I'm a versatile software engineer passionate about AI-driven tooling, automation, and building data-informed systems that enhance reliability and developer efficiency. At BrightSign, I develop the next generation of platform capabilities for managing digital signage at scale, including a local LLM agent powered by Ollama that enables natural-language control of players for tasks like reboots, content updates, and health checks. I also love building observability infrastructure using Prometheus, Grafana, and custom exporters — giving engineering teams real-time insights into device health, system performance, and deployment impact across on-prem and cloud environments. . . . .
