Angie Howard is a Senior Manager of Software Engineering based in San Jose with nine years of deep experience building voice AI and language systems, including founding engineering work at a startup acquired by Salesforce. She thrives in 0→1 environments, setting strategy and leading technical teams to turn research-grade NLP and voice tech into production products.
