Jan ’23 – Jan ’24
Situation
Amid growing pressure to ship faster and better, I saw an opportunity to leverage Generative AI to boost engineering velocity for myself and the broader team, requiring more than just tool adoption.
Tasks
Weave these AI tools into the daily engineering workflow in a truly meaningful and impactful way.
Actions
In January of 2023, I personally started adopting GenAI tools like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot to speed up development tasks and unblock myself more quickly.
I dove into self-learning, starting with prompt engineering. I documented everything I learned in a technical wiki, ultimately creating a living prompt catalog inside ClickUp Docs—complete with zero-shot, one-shot, and parameterized examples.
As I discovered high-impact use cases—like writing boilerplate code, summarizing documentation, or drafting test cases—I shared these insights during informal lunch-and-learns.
These sessions served as low-friction, high-impact ways to scale adoption and raise the team’s confidence in experimenting with AI.
Result
Decreased cycle time by 35%
