Julia Valenti
Software engineer and musician.

I'm a full-stack engineer and technical leader at Outshift by Cisco, working on agentic AI infrastructure and human-agent experience design, including Mycelium, a tool for orchestrating multi-agent systems. Outside of work I'm co-building Polaris Education with a close friend, an AI platform that turns student voice recordings into actionable insights for schools. I also make electronic music, play too much Dota 2, and live with my partner Emily and our cats Rhiannon and Mimi in Seattle.
Deep in agentic AI, building multi-agent systems, browser automation, and AI-powered conversation analysis pipelines. Lately interested in how agents coordinate, fail gracefully, and stay useful in the real world rather than in benchmarks.
