What I've built, and the track record behind it
I've spent 30 years building products, leading technology teams, and making high-stakes calls where business meets engineering. These days I build with AI. The fastest way to show what that means is to show what I've shipped.
Selected WorkIdea to live in two days. Publishes 500+ events a day pulled from more than 100 sources, fully automated end to end. Built with AI, with the heavy-lift pieces moved to Python for speed, and it still runs and maintains itself.
A complete planning tool built on an AI-guided interview and analysis engine. It walks a person through a structured process and produces a detailed, personal plan. In use with real users today.
A travel and adventure venture, co-founded and run with a partner, built to get people out exploring real places. Live and operating today.
Senior Product Manager at First American Financial (Fortune 500, $9B revenue). Ran a product serving 50,000 customers a month and led a 13-person cross-functional team.
Director of Account Management at Zest.ai (AI/ML credit scoring). Co-led the team that won a multi-year, seven-figure international client.
Four profitable bootstrapped startups. Head of Product and Technology roles across multiple companies.
UC Berkeley, B.A. Applied Math. PMP, CSPO, CSM. Earlier roles at Ticketmaster, Taboola, GE, and others.
I came to AI consulting the way I come to everything, by doing it first. I spent the last year building AI-powered workflows, testing tools, breaking things, and learning what actually works for real businesses. I don't sell software and I don't take vendor commissions, so my only job is the right answer for your situation.
I work with a few clients at a time, by design, so you get my full attention. Most have a clear direction within weeks. And I'm direct: if something won't work, I'll say so before it becomes a line item. Based in Pasadena, CA.
Currently running at SMA:
No pitch deck. No pressure. Just a conversation about where you are and what makes sense next.
