Résumé

Colin Gillingham

Applied AI product leader and builder

Production LLM applications · Evals and agents · Startup technical architecture

I build and launch AI products, from production voice agents to enterprise automation. At HubSpot, I led Agent Hub from private beta to general availability and shipped LLM-powered CRM enrichment. My background combines hands-on engineering, technical architecture for early-stage startups, developer-platform go-to-market and sales leadership.
