AI Systems Builder & Fractional AI Lead

Sixteen years of building systems. The last five, AI-first.

 
I build AI systems that run businesses, and I train the people who run on them. Agent systems, MCP integrations, automation pipelines, business dashboards. The tools are never the problem, adoption is. I solve both ends.
