I help teams figure out where AI actually fits — then build it.
Product strategy, system design, and hands-on engineering for AI that works inside real operations.
Background in neuroscience (Saint Mary's) and product strategy (Stanford GSB), with deep technical ability in AI systems engineering. I work with teams to identify where AI creates real leverage in their operations — then design and build the systems that deliver it. Current focus: construction, media, and enterprise document intelligence.
Most AI projects fail not because the technology doesn't work, but because nobody asked the right question about where it fits. The hardest part isn't building the system — it's understanding the operation well enough to know what the system should do. That's where I focus.
Work Experience
- AI Engineer Human Agency, Remote, 2025-Present
