Maria Talks Tech
Making Technology Human.
I'm Maria Blair. Senior engineer turned solo founder.
I help people and brands understand, adapt, and thrive in the new era of AI and software.
From Software Engineer to Tech Storyteller
Immigrant. Builder. Mother. I left corporate to bet on myself — and I'm documenting everything.
Maria Talks Tech is where engineering experience meets entrepreneurial reality: real AI tools, real products, real stakes. No fluff, no filter.
Inspiring Conversations on the Future of Tech
I coded for a decade. Built products for other people's visions. Then AI rewrote the math — and I decided to rewrite mine.
Now I build my own products, document the journey publicly, and talk straight about what it costs and what it's worth.
Welcome to Maria Talks Tech. Grab a coffee. This is the real version. 🔥
The Human Side of AI & the Future of Work
What changes now, what stays timeless, and how teams can adapt with confidence.
Women in Tech: Confidence & Career Reinvention
Stories and strategies for building a meaningful, resilient tech career.
Building a Human Brand in a Technical World
Communicating complex ideas simply — and with heart.
Real expertise. Real audience. Real stakes.
I'm a senior engineer who left corporate to build in public. Whether you want an hour of straight talk about your next move, or a technical voice your audience will actually trust — here's how we can work together.
Strategy Sessions — $100/hr
Not a consultant with a framework. A senior engineer navigating the same AI disruption you are — who charges a flat $100/hour to think through your specific situation. Career moves, product ideas, AI workflow, what's next. Come with real questions.
I'll help you get unstuck.
Brand Partnerships & Speaking
My audience is software engineers who are skeptical of hype and notice when something is authentic. I collaborate with tech brands on sponsored content, product demos, and educational series — and I speak at conferences and events on AI, career disruption, and women in tech.
I am a powerful voice.
