Work with me
I help teams ship AI systems that humans actually trust.
Most AI initiatives fail not because of bad models, but because the knowledge underneath was never made legible — to the machines processing it, or to the humans acting on it. I close that gap.
🛠️ How I work
Three practice areas
Most engagements use one or two of these. The biggest wins usually come from doing all three together.
Build
AI strategy, RAG systems, knowledge graphs, and ML projects from problem definition through production deployment — with full knowledge transfer so your team owns the result.
AI strategy sprints · RAG architecture · Knowledge graph development · ML pipeline deployment
Coach
Data-for-AI readiness training for teams and individuals preparing their knowledge, documentation, and data for AI adoption. The best model in the world can't fix upstream chaos.
Data readiness assessments · Documentation strategy · Team workshops · Individual coaching
Deploy
Custom AI assistants trained on your expertise and deployed to your domain. Your writing, projects, and professional narrative — made conversational and citable.
Domain-specific chatbots · Domain-specific RAG · Custom knowledge bases · Production hosting
✨ The combination
Three things I bring that rarely come together
Most people in AI come from one path — pure technical, pure consulting, or sales-adjacent. I've worked across all three, and I bring all three to every engagement.
Cognitive science
A PhD dissertation with 430+ citations on how humans construct meaning from visual information — applied to every system I design. Your AI gets shaped by someone who studies how people actually think.
Full-stack execution
From fuzzy requirements through architecture, implementation, and deployment. The same person who can present to your leadership can debug the pipeline. No translation tax between roles.
Production AI
Shipped systems across NLP, computer vision, knowledge graphs, and LLM applications. CDMP-certified in data management. Azure AI Engineer Associate. Real operational experience, not slide decks.
🧭 Before you reach out
A few low-friction ways to get a feel for how I work.
Ask my Digital Twin
An AI trained on my work, writing, and methodology. Ask it about my approach, projects, or frameworks — it answers in my voice with citations.

Live, deployed systems that show what shipping looks like under my name. Resume Explorer, the Beehive Tracker, ConvoScope, the Fitness Dashboard.

How cognitive science training, healthcare entrepreneurship, federal data work, and GenAI engineering converge in the way I approach problems today.
My journey →Have a fuzzy AI problem and want a real partner?
I bring research-grade rigor and full-stack execution to systems where the data is messy and the stakes matter. Whether you need strategy, hands-on building, or coaching for your team's AI readiness — let's talk about whether I'm the right fit.
