AI Systems That Ship,
and Hold Up Under Scrutiny.
I build AI products and the governance to back them up. Sixteen years shipping systems other people were still arguing about. PhD in Systems Engineering. I take the jobs nobody else wants.
I want a bigger platform to run AI on. Not a bigger title.
Senior technical product leadership, somewhere with the scale and resources to build AI systems that actually hold up. Track record's below.

The work nobody else wanted to own.
Directing a $45M portfolio where compliance isn't optional
Six government contract portfolios, one product strategy. The proposals had to survive a review board that's heard every promise before.
Raising $325K for a lab that didn't exist yet
No budget, no space, no track record. Won the first sponsored capstone on the pitch alone. Everything after that got easier.
Scaling adoption 75x when the instinct was to spend on marketing
The usability problem was inside the product. No amount of marketing spend would have touched it. The growth loop data made that case on its own.
Launching two prototypes on time and under budget when the ask was to invent the business case first
Secured $750K in research funding, building the case from nothing. Shipped both prototypes under budget, on time, and to compliance and client standards.
Case studies, not slideware.
Scaling to 4 Concurrent AI Programs and Architecting the Platform to Unify Them
Took an institution from one AI initiative to four running in parallel, then built the platform architecture that let them share one foundation.
Directing a $45M Defense Technology Portfolio at BluePath Labs
Six government contract portfolios, one AI research program at the Army Cybersecurity Institute, and two proposals that put $51B in potential contract value on the table.
Modernization Roadmaps for Emergency Services, Built From the Front Line Up
Two 50-page operational assessments and six customer discovery engagements that turned frontline pain points into procurement-ready modernization roadmaps.
