Applied AI strategy + execution

Ship AI products that create leverage, not prototypes that die in a demo.

I work with founders, operators, and product teams to build practical AI systems across LLMs, forecasting, pricing, recommendation, and automation. The focus is always the same: clear business outcomes, clean implementation, and production reliability.

  • LLM product strategy, RAG, evaluation, and workflow automation
  • Forecasting, pricing, recommendation, and operational decision systems
  • Fractional AI leadership for teams that need both strategy and execution

Why teams bring me in

Senior judgment, hands-on execution, and a bias toward systems that survive contact with reality.

I am an AI and machine learning consultant with a hands-on background in forecasting, pricing, recommendation systems, and production data products. I have spent the last decade building systems that have to work in messy, high-stakes environments where reliability matters more than novelty.

Today I help teams navigate the shift from classic ML to modern AI. That can mean shaping an AI roadmap, designing a grounded LLM workflow, standing up evaluation and observability, improving an existing model stack, or helping a founding team turn an idea into a focused, shippable product.

My style is pragmatic, technical, and business-aware. I like working closely with decision-makers, shipping quickly, and building systems that are understandable enough to maintain once the first launch excitement wears off.

Scaled network forecasting

Improved site-level error from 30%+ to under 15% by replacing hundreds of bespoke models with a more scalable ML approach.

Built forecasting systems that could survive constant network change, new locations, new product launches, and noisy operational data.

Made pricing models more usable

Matched ensemble-level performance using only five common shipment features, making live pricing services far easier to operationalize.

Focused on practical model design, latency, interpretability, and business continuity in environments where downtime is expensive.

Led through ambiguity

Helped grow teams, mentor junior talent, and translate technical work into decisions that stakeholders could actually act on.

Strong projects need more than model quality; they need communication, trust, and systems people can operate.

Services

Consulting support for teams moving from AI ambition to useful delivery.

AI Strategy and Roadmaps

Clarify where AI fits, which use cases deserve investment, what the architecture should look like, and how to sequence execution without overcommitting too early.

LLM Products and Workflow Automation

Design grounded assistants, retrieval workflows, internal knowledge tools, and process automation that respect latency, cost, security, and trust.

Applied ML Systems

Build or improve forecasting, pricing, recommendation, scoring, and optimization systems with an emphasis on measurable business impact.

Fractional AI Leadership

Partner with founders or product leaders on technical direction, vendor evaluation, hiring, team mentoring, and go-to-production execution.

Core expertise

Built at the intersection of applied ML, modern AI, and operational decision-making.

LLM Systems

Retrieval-augmented generation, prompt workflows, source-grounded answers, evaluation loops, and internal copilots.

Production Machine Learning

Forecasting, regression, classification, recommendation, anomaly detection, and experimentation in real operating environments.

Decision Infrastructure

Pricing services, operational planning tools, automation pipelines, and data products that have to support live business decisions.

Technical Translation

Bridging founders, executives, operators, analysts, and engineers so that complex systems are usable, trusted, and aligned with the business.

Engagement models

Flexible ways to work together depending on the stage and urgency.
