Alex Payne is a pragmatic AI and data engineering manager based in Austin with eight years of experience delivering mission-critical solutions at Deloitte and Accenture. He combines hands-on technical leadership—leading teams that built LLM prototypes, GPU-optimized AI systems, cloud-to-cloud migrations, and reconciliation software that validated $35B+ in transactions—with strong program management skills in sales, budgeting, and stakeholder alignment. Alex has repeatedly scaled small R&D prototypes into production tooling across public sector and commercial clients, launching Deloitte’s AI Exploration Lab and managing half a million dollars in hardware assets. Comfortable coaching hybrid and remote teams, he brings a mix of research curiosity (from graduate-style neuroeconomics work) and product focus that accelerates time-to-value for complex AI projects.
