Honest question: what are some ways humans could go extinct?
how could one person go about enacting such an event and how long might it take?

Something like an airborne prion would probably make short work of humanity. Would only take a year or so to tear through most of the population.

Hopefully by either breeding a better human or developing AI that replaces us. Every generation goes extinct and is replaced by something different to itself, that's the premise of evolution, no species is truly static, life is a recursion with inter-generational self-similarity and self-difference, not a looped repetition of perfect clones.
