Yuying Chen-Wynn is the former Head of AI at PEAK6, where she led everything Generative AI across buy, build, invest, and risk manage for a multi-billion-dollar family of companies. Before that, she was Chief Product Officer at Barnes & Noble Education and has spent over 20 years building products—13 of those building AI products in the wild across Big Tech, FinTech, and EdTech.

She’s been deep in the GenAI trenches long before it was trendy—painfully hacking together real products while the tools themselves were still duct-taped together. Her career started in computer vision, back when AI was barely pronounceable, after she accidentally got into MIT just trying to get to Boston (true story).

Yuying is obsessed with cutting through the noise. She co-hosts the no-BS “AI After Hours” podcast with Polly Allen, where they call out hype, hallucinations, and questionable AI optimism. She also writes a sharp, irreverent newsletter on Substack that filters out AI marketing fluff and gets to the signal.

With Yuying leading this bootcamp, you’re not getting theory. You’re getting real-world experience, war stories, live demos, and that honest moment you probably need: "Can I actually build something with this?"
