For almost 30 years I've run Step Ahead as Founder and CEO - an award-winning employment and training organisation that has helped thousands of people find work, often from the toughest starting points. But some of my most powerful conversations have happened informally - with my own sons, their friends, and the children of friends who came to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and invisible in a job market that nobody had prepared them for. The same questions kept coming up. The same avoidable mistakes kept quietly costing people opportunities.

So I put everything I told them into a programme - every step, every shortcut, every mistake to avoid - so people can follow the exact same path. Practical, direct, and built around what actually gets people hired. No fluff. No theory. Just what works.

I am the creator of Get The Job You Want, a training course that helps graduates globally to get them hired, in the job they want.

Before Preset, I led data engineering teams at Airbnb, Facebook, and Lyft, working on some of the largest-scale data platforms in the industry. Now, I'm building the same kind of foundational, open-source tooling for the AI era: Agor (agor.live), a collaborative team command center for AI coding teammates. A longtime open-source advocate who builds in the open, I'm betting that the next platform shift is teams of humans and agents working side by side.

Shama Keskar is a three-time founding CTO. But that is not where the story started.

She got into tech through the back door 🙂 Physics graduate. No CS degree. First job in the United States was cashier at a Big 5 sporting goods store in Silicon Valley. Broke into Google in 2004 as a QA engineer.

Then spent the next 15+ years scaling engineering across Google, LinkedIn, and Amazon – leading quality for Google's Online Advertising platform (scope: ~98% of company revenue), pioneering Alexa automation, launching Amazon Go and Amazon One as Amazon's first physical retail launches. Grew teams from 4 to 50+ engineers.

In 2021 she went founding CTO. And has not stopped since – Nickelytics (edge AI + computer vision for autonomous outdoor advertising), SignAI (real-time bidirectional ASL/English AI interpreter prototype demoed to Microsoft), and most recently co-founder & founding CTO of an AI-native fashion wholesale platform where she built the production document extraction system that hit 96% accuracy across live paying merchants.

Currently writing her first book The Trust Layer – building AI systems you can actually ship. Her thesis is simple – generation is solved, trust is the product. She writes about it publicly on Substack and speaks on it wherever engineering leaders will let her.

The through-line from QA engineer at Google to three-time founding CTO has always been the same – care about the boring engineering work everyone else skips. Evals, reliability, trust architecture, et al. Ship things that actually work in production.

Based in Seattle. Available for keynotes, panels, closed-door founder sessions, and technical deep-dives.
