Summary
Dave Elliott is a pragmatic software test engineer and AI practitioner with 12 years of experience building web apps, educational platforms, and agentic AI systems. Based in Tulsa, he blends hands-on Python web development and data science skills with a background in PHP/MySQL LMS work and front-end tooling to deliver reliable, production-ready systems. Currently splitting his time between testing at Lingraphica, building autonomous workflow agents at Dustbowl AI, and freelance web development, he focuses on making AI perform real tasks rather than merely assist. His career arc—from graphic design to full-stack web developer to AI engineer—gives him a rare combination of product sensibility and technical craft. A pragmatic problem-solver, he prefers to surface the hard questions teams need to answer so humans can focus on the judgments agents can't make.
