Mara Thorsrud

Mara Thorsrud is a UX professional who, in just 2-3 months of intensive work, has built what most practitioners take years to develop: systematic AI infrastructure that actually scales.

She doesn't just use AI tools—she architects evaluation pipelines, builds custom assistants with structured rubrics, and catches subtle failure modes that would slip past casual users. Her UX background translates into something rare: the discipline to document, version, and quality-test AI systems like production software.

What makes Mara's trajectory compelling is velocity. She's learning agentic workflows while simultaneously shipping client work, compressing years of experimentation into months. She's positioned to lead AI adoption initiatives—not someday, but now.
