Engineer. AI Systems Architect. Artist.
Shelli Langdale is an American artist and AI systems architect living and painting in Chattanooga, TN. She has a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Alabama in Huntsville. An autodidact, she moved from wide-area network engineering for NASA to front-end web development and design to building agentic AI systems and custom solutions in Claude Code, a path she calls less a pivot than a lifelong curiosity about patterns.
