Bio
Jason Piccinin
Building a Conversational AI practise inside a government department from scratch is a tall task at the best of times, let alone joining an organisation during a pandemic to start it up with so many unknowns is another. Jonah's resiliency, attention to detail and strategic thinking took this concept all the way through to an established and fully-funded group inside of 12 months. His ability to spot talent and recruit has shown great leadership supported by his can-do attitude to all tasks regardless of complexity. I look forward to watching Jonah's career progression and hope our paths cross again.
David Chiew
An amazing team lead, an incredibly talented engineer, and a visionary in the conversational AI space. Jonah led our team to launch Service NSW's first virtual chat bot. His guidance in the conversational AI space, software architecture, and agile practises have been invaluable to our team. Any team would be lucky to have him.
