Alex Dunlop
I have been building AI products since 2016. Natural language generation before LLMs existed, now conversation engines running at enterprise scale.
I'm currently a Senior Engineer at Popp AI, building the conversation engine behind candidate interactions for enterprise recruiters.
Before Popp I built Kindello, the marketplace covering every childcare centre in New Zealand. Before that I co-founded Cub Digital, an AI and software consultancy in New Zealand. I started out at Arria NLG in 2016, writing natural language generation systems back when making a machine write English meant rules engines rather than models.
Along the way I have written about AI coding to 2M+ readers on Medium, publish Dunlop's Dev Log on Substack, ship Claude Code skills in the open on GitHub, and volunteer as a Senior Product Engineer at Aruuri.
