AI Practice Under Dual Identity: Seamlessly Switching Between Elite Corporate and Independent Development

As AI evolves rapidly, many experienced professionals face a new challenge:

How do you remain hands-on as your career becomes more managerial?

In this CADSEA event, Carson Yan will share his experience navigating two parallel roles — as a senior leader in enterprise AI and as an independent builder launching products outside of work.

Carson is currently Senior Director of Data Science and Product at Capital One, with 19 years of experience in predictive modeling and AI. He is also the founder of Teaky AI and Motion Control King.

In this talk, he will discuss:

• The personal journey of building AI products from 0 to 1
• How to make use of fragmented time to continue creating
• Fast iteration strategies in the era of LLMs
• How experienced practitioners can stay technically sharp through hands-on work
• How to build influence and identity beyond corporate boundaries

Who Should Attend:

• Working data scientists/engineers looking to maintain technical sharpness or explore side projects
• Students who want to understand real-world AI product development better
• Entrepreneurially minded builders interested in AI product validation and iteration
