# Monica Wu > AI Product Engineer | Ex-IQVIA & Microsoft | Building 0→1 Conversational AI & RAG Systems with React, Python, & OpenAI Location: United States, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/monicawu I am a 0→1 builder who thrives in the high-stakes, fast-paced environment of venture-backed startups. With over 8 years of experience at the intersection of complex logic and human-centered design—including engineering roles at Microsoft and IQVIA—I am now dedicated to architecting the next generation of AI-native products. I don’t just "use" AI; I build production-ready systems that solve real-world problems. Currently, through the Interview Kickstart Machine Learning Program and Super Data Science AI Lab, I am developing sophisticated LLM applications focused on precision and reliability: RAG Architecture: Implementing Retrieval-Augmented Generation to ensure LLMs are grounded in factual data, drastically reducing hallucinations. Prompt Engineering: Designing multi-turn prompt architectures and managing context windows for seamless natural language interactions. End-to-End Delivery: Owning the full lifecycle from data sourcing and predictive modeling to the deployment of conversational AI systems. Exploratory Engineering: I possess the "DNA" required for Series A/B growth—the ability to build rapid prototypes and iterate until abstract predictions become high-impact products. I bring the technical rigor of a Senior SDE (branching strategies, component libraries, and unit testing) without the "big company" slow-down. My background in Accessibility and UX design ensures that the AI systems I build are not just performant, but feel intuitive and accessible to the humans they serve. 🛠️ Toolkit: - AI / Machine Learning: OpenAI API, RAG, Prompt Engineering, Token Optimization, Predictive Modeling, Context Management. - Frontend Engineering: React (v16+), Angular (v2 to v18), TypeScript, RxJS, Redux, SCSS/SASS. - Backend & DevOps: Node.js, Python, REST APIs, Git Strategy (GitHub), Jasmine, Unit Testing. - Product & Design: UX/UI Design, Accessibility (A11y), Rapid Prototyping, Component Library Architecture. I am currently looking to join a Series A/B startup as an AI Engineer or AI Product Engineer. If you are building technology that expands human capability through thoughtful, reliable AI design, let’s connect. ## Work Experience ### Software Development Engineer IV @ Inteliquet, an IQVIA business Jan 2023 – Present | Remote + Introduced a new Git branching strategy and development workflow, enhancing team collaboration. + Successfully designed, proposed, and developed new features to improve user flow through application. + Developed robust features and enhancements in Angular 16 through Angular 18 for applications serving healthcare researchers. + Successfully migrated numerous components to a shared repository, improving code maintainability across apps. + Developed standardizing updates across applications for numerous custom, reusable components, including updates to component logic in TypeScript, routing, error checking, and validation, maintaining existing authentication processes. + Worked with transloco internationalization system across apps. + Advocated for accessibility features. ### UI Engineer @ Inovalon Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 I played a pivotal role in developing reusable UI components that significantly improved user experience in healthcare applications. • Designed and implemented complex web app pages in Angular and Aurelia for demo applications. • Compiled detailed specifications for Angular and Aurelia components, aiding UIUX designers in style guide updates. • Enhanced functionality of demo sites through rigorous auditing and revisions, ensuring high-quality user interfaces. ### Senior Analyst @ Accenture Jan 2018 – Jan 2022 | Greater Seattle Area + Developed new components, services, features, and enhancements in Angular for enterprise-level application processing hundreds of millions of dollars monthly in payments to client. + Performed regular E2E testing on application using developer tools and various browsers. + Developed according to design specifications components for responsive UI/UX web framework unifying digital and mobile experience in Angular, TypeScript, and scalable SASS. + Developed bug fixes for bugs in various components. + Worked with Angular 10 and Angular 11. + Upgraded code from Angular 6 to Angular 7. + Taught advanced Angular knowledge to development colleagues. ### Front End Developer @ Microsoft through Design Laboratory Inc Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | Redmond, Washington, United States + Developed RESTful API and user interface in Angular (4/5) and TypeScript for use by devs and Microsoft partners to upload and publish JSON schemas for creating web pages. + Collaborated across several teams of devs in designing functionality of application interface. ### Front End Developer @ Win-Kel Jan 2017 – Jan 2018 | Remote + Architected and developed web application front end in React 16, React-Router v4, Redux, ES6, Node.js, React-Bootstrap, HTML, SASS, CSS. + Set development goals for front end team. + Performed code reviews. + Mentored front end development interns. ### Front End Developer @ Microsoft through Jetstream Software Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | Redmond, Washington, United States + Developed in Angular 2, React, and TypeScript parts of new libraries to be used by Microsoft partners across 50,000 websites. + Developed according to design specifications updates to various components and modules of the same. + Audited online framework components and modules for compliance with accessibility requirements (W3C or WCAG 2.0) and developed fixes for issues found. + Developed prototypes for various Microsoft pages using libraries developed. ### Front End Developer @ NBC Universal through Next Step Staffing Jan 2016 – Jan 2016 | Seattle, Washington, United States + Developed responsive features for mobile and web, algorithms, services and service objects, SEO schemas, and developed bug fixes for social media and video issues on NBCNEWS.com. + Worked in JavaScript, jQuery, Node.js, Gulp, GitHub, Backbone.js, Underscore.js, Handlebars.js, JIRA, and Tower. ### Front End Developer @ UIEvolution through Sixth Ave Studios Jan 2016 – Jan 2016 | Kirkland and Tacoma, Washington, United States + Developed responsive web applications for use on mobile devices, smartTVs, and in digital signage using JavaScript, React.js, Express, Leaflet, Mapbox, D3, HTML, and CSS. + Developed app for determining cross-browser compatibility using Modernizr.js. + Exploratory engineering, such as developing prototypes and doing performance and stress testing, using a variety of online benchmarking tools such as GTmetrics and BrowserStack. ### Web Developer @ LivelyGig Jan 2015 – Jan 2016 | Kirkland, Washington, United States + Created wireframes and developed prototype for responsive web app using Balsamiq and InVision, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. + Advised on UI/UX design. + Designed user flow. ##
