Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolScott Willeke is an independent, hands-on engineering leader with over two decades of experience building and scaling cloud-native products and high-performing teams, now focused on AI and LLM-driven voice applications. He blends product management and engineering craft—having led cross-functional organizations of up to 50 people and shipped AI features end-to-end at companies like Smartsheet, Vouched, and Glide—while remaining deeply operational, contributing code and DevOps improvements himself. Scott co-founded Tayle, an AI storytelling platform that leverages real-time voice interviewing, WebRTC, and function-calling with LLMs, and consults on cloud architecture, fractional CTO engagements, and mission-critical public safety software. He pairs a pragmatic focus on measurable product KPIs and automated quality with a history of open-source contributions (e.g., maintenance work on lessmsi) and a knack for turning complex AI/voice research into production-ready experiences. Based in Kirkland, WA, he is seeking Director-level roles where he can scale teams and deliver next-generation AI solutions.
