Summary
Joey Anuff is a Machine Learning Developer with 11 years of experience blending journalism, product storytelling, and hands-on AI engineering to make frontier models useful for skeptical, high-stakes audiences. He built and scaled bespoke generative workflows—most notably producing hundreds of personalized AI editions for Reid Hoffman’s books using Claude, GPT, and Midjourney—and now runs daily agentic coding sessions as a power user of Claude Code. His portfolio spans prototypes that aim to earn trust (interactive journalism, rhetoric education tools, AI-assisted reading pipelines) rather than chase hype, plus practical production systems like an end-to-end AI video pipeline and automated media metadata for thousands of videos. Comfortable bridging creative and technical teams, Joey brings a rare mix of prompt engineering, multi-API orchestration, and communication-first advocacy informed by decades in publishing and TV. He’s based in Vallejo, California, and leans on a Berkeley rhetoric background and practical deep learning training to translate complex model behavior into honest, experience-grounded products.
