A little about me

Engineering leader. Teacher. Founder.

My four practices sharpen one another. The classroom feeds the consulting work. Consulting feeds the day job. The day job funds the ventures. The ventures feed the classroom.

Let’s make it real

Have an AI project that needs to ship?

Tell me about the problem, the team and the outcome. I take on a small number of focused engagements each quarter.
