About Me

Software engineer and consultant with ~15 years of experience working at the intersection of people, process, and technology. Former management consultant (Deloitte) with an MBA, equally comfortable shipping production code as I am engaging technical and business stakeholders.

I help organizations deploy AI in ways that actually generate value, across AI data engineering, API design and integration, and application architecture and modernization. The hardest part of AI in most orgs isn’t the model; it’s the data, the integration surface, and the architectural decisions that determine whether AI makes it from prototype to production.

Currently building GlowConsult.ai (AI voice agents for aesthetics practices) and taking select freelance and project engagements alongside it. If you have something that fits, get in touch.
