Open to interesting problems
I build AI that actually ships. Then I go teach jiu jitsu.

About
I'm a technologist with 20+ years in the trenches. I started on the helpdesk and worked my way up through DevOps and IT leadership. Today I'm VP of AI & Innovation in legal services, turning generative AI from slideware into systems people use every day.
I'm an MIT Certified CTO with credentials in Applied Generative AI, Machine Learning, and Technology Management. My bias is simple: build the machine, don't just sell the map. I run my own businesses on the systems I build.
I like working on projects that genuinely interest me, so if you have something worth building, I'm always happy to hear about it.
