About

At Meta, I lead a team of prompt engineers evaluating frontier multimodal AI models at scale. The work is coordination-heavy and high-volume: managing contributors across time zones, building evaluation frameworks, delivering stakeholder reports, and keeping quality consistent across thousands of validated outputs.

At Empraxis Systems, I build the things I actually want to exist. Agentic AI pipelines, meta-prompting systems, cross-model verification architectures, autonomous workflows that go from seed idea to working product. I design RAG systems, work with local LLMs, build with pgvector and MCP, and prototype tools across the full stack. This is where the systems thinking, the adversarial evaluation design, and the applied architecture work lives.

Before all of this, I was a Deputy Fire Chief and Training Officer. That background is why accountability, decision-making under uncertainty, and building systems that work without you in the room run through everything I do.

In short

Quana Parker is a Senior Prompt Engineer and Team Lead at Meta and founder of Empraxis Systems, bringing a rare interdisciplinary foundation forged in emergency services command and frontier AI development. She operates at expert-level AI fluency, designing adversarial multi-model verification architectures, production-grade RAG evaluation frameworks, and agentic pipelines that compress multi-week builds into days. Her prompting practice spans the full advanced stack — Chain-of-Thought, meta-prompting, self-consistency, adversarial framing — and she routinely distills iterative discovery workflows into reusable, rationale-preserving artifacts. As a team lead, she builds systems explicitly designed to run without her, training contributors to execute independently and framing AI limitations as actionable intelligence rather than defensive caveats. Author of Thinking Critically in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, Quana brings a mission-driven, accountability-first mindset to democratizing enterprise-grade AI capability — making her an exceptional force multiplier for any organization serious about building at the frontier.
