About

Professional summary

I am an AI enablement and transformation leader with 18 years of experience in enterprise learning technology, change management, instructional design, and hands-on solution delivery. I specialize in turning emerging AI capabilities into practical, measurable business outcomes.

I have designed and shipped more than 10 production AI applications spanning simulation, document generation, knowledge management, workflow automation, and content production. My work has reduced workflow time by up to 50% and cut application-planning effort from eight hours to 30 minutes.

I build organizational AI capability through training programs, communities of practice, newsletters, peer-support channels, and clear communication for both technical and non-technical audiences. I have regularly presented AI tools and adoption practices to communities of more than 100 stakeholders.

I combine strategic leadership with technical delivery, including API integrations, agentic workflow design, AI optimization frameworks, Vue.js, React, Rust, Tauri, Power Automate, and Power BI. I enjoy taking prototypes through production implementation while creating reusable frameworks and templates.

My background includes 14 years at a change-management consultancy supporting more than 50 healthcare client go-lives, as well as nine years of leadership service as a Lieutenant in the U.S. Navy. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering from the United States Naval Academy and am a Six Sigma Green Belt.

I am motivated by opportunities to lead AI adoption, enable teams, improve operational workflows, and deliver responsible, high-impact AI products. I also continue to explore AI industry trends and build personal tools, including an AI-powered French conversation application and productivity plugins.
