Experience

AI and career experience

Two views of the same background: AI strategy, agents, and automation on one side; career delivery, analytics, finance, and leadership experience on the other.

AI experience

AI strategy, agent workflows, and automation experience.

My AI experience sits across market-facing strategy work through the Anthropic alliance and hands-on build work through independent agent and automation projects. The through line is practical adoption: where AI belongs, where deterministic automation is better, and how quality should be measured.
