I turn complex business problems into working solutions.

I’ve spent 15+ years in Data & AI, building the technical depth to solve complex problems
and the business fluency to discuss them with executives.

Who I am

Technology has changed. So has my role in it.

I began my career as an individual contributor, deep in the technical details. As my role evolved, I became responsible for connecting those details to architecture, business strategy, stakeholder alignment, and delivery.

The advantage I bring today is the ability to move comfortably between technical depth and executive context, working through the problem with architects and engineers, then translating it into the business impact, tradeoffs, and decisions that matter to leadership.

I didn't leave those skills behind. I kept adding to them.

I can move between the rooms.

I've spent my career moving between executive conversations, architecture decisions, sales cycles, product decisions, and delivery. That range lets me connect conversations that are often owned by different people.

AI-Powered Returns & Recovery Intelligence

I identified a fragmented returns and claims process, shaped the product strategy and workflow, and designed an AI-assisted platform to connect orders, returns, claims, payments, and recovery visibility in one place.

MarginMile

From Unmet Market Need to Live SaaS Product

I identified a real profitability problem in freight operations, shaped the product strategy and decision logic, and carried the solution from concept through architecture, prototyping, and launch.

Attendly

From Operational Friction to a Working School Platform

I worked directly with school leadership and staff to uncover operational pain points, define the right workflows, and turn those findings into a purpose-built platform spanning attendance, aftercare, billing, reporting, and communications.

Forward Deployed Operating Model

From discovery to
working POC in 48 hours.

I use AI-assisted development, solution architecture, and realistic synthetic data to turn ambiguous customer problems into functional prototypes fast. It gives stakeholders something real to react to, helps validate the technical path, and creates momentum from presales into implementation.

AI accelerates the work. My experience behind the decisions is what makes it useful.

How I work inside an opportunity

From Ambiguous Problem to Working Proof in 48 Hours

I’m often brought into opportunities where the problem is still taking shape. I work across the technical and business sides to understand what matters, architect a path forward, and make the idea tangible quickly.

With AI-assisted development and realistic synthetic data, I can often move from discovery to a functional proof in about 48 hours. That gives executives, architects, and delivery teams something real to react to before committing to a larger build.

01Lead technical & executive discovery
02Shape the solution architecture & data model
03Build a functional AI-assisted prototype
04Validate it with stakeholders
05Define the implementation path & stay through handoff

The prototype is not the finish line. I stay involved through validation, implementation planning, and handoff.
