Systems builder · AI workflow architect · Domain translator
I design the scaffolding that makes AI useful in real work—connecting domain knowledge, instructions, tools, validation, and human judgment across healthcare compliance, procurement, logistics, and other compliance-sensitive environments.
01 / SELECTED WORK
Strategy is only useful when it becomes something people can use.
Operational infrastructure for skilled trades
An operations scaffold that maps how a business actually works, then connects AI, automation, documentation, and process design to remove friction.
ImpactFor skilled-trades operators: turns tacit know-how and scattered processes into a shared, usable operating blueprint.
AI-assisted welding education
An instructor-first AI scaffold combining image review, structured observations, calibrated scoring, visual callouts, and instructor-confirmed outcomes.
ImpactFor welding programs and instructors: consolidates visual review, training feedback, and instructor authority into one repeatable workflow.
The CWI’s Copilot
A documentation scaffold for Certified Welding Inspectors—organizing reports, nonconformance records, evidence, traceability, and review-ready professional judgment.
ImpactFor compliance-sensitive inspection work: replaces scattered drafting and evidence handling with traceable, review-ready records.
Student navigation for workforce education
A student-navigation scaffold that turns fragmented institutional resources into a clear path through enrollment, training, support, and career preparation.
ImpactFor future, current, and former MCC welding students: brings fragmented campus resources into one mobile-first pilot experience.
02 / AI SCAFFOLDING
I design the structure around AI: what it understands, how it works, what it can use, how its output is checked, and where people retain authority.
The goal is not merely a good response once. It is a repeatable system people can understand, trust appropriately, and actually use.
Give the AI the domain knowledge and evidence it cannot safely infer.
Shape the sequence so complex work becomes clear, testable steps.
Connect the model to the information and actions the work requires.
Catch malformed outputs, unsupported conclusions, and uncertainty.
Keep people in authority wherever experience and accountability matter.
03 / THE THROUGH-LINE
My advantage is not writing code in isolation. It is understanding people, pressure, process, and the distance between how work is described and how it actually gets done.
After years in healthcare operations across MSSP, ACO, and ACO REACH, plus procurement and logistics systems spanning Coupa, Odoo, fulfillment, and accounting workflows, I now turn domain expertise into AI-enabled products—with the right context, workflow, validation, and human judgment built into the system.
04 / NEXT IN THE PRACTICE
Operational accountability for distributed teams.
Plain-English legal research and civic systems design.
05 / WRITING
Notes from the build
Essays on AI as a force multiplier, blue-collar America’s digital gap, building in public, and what it means to turn hard-earned experience into new infrastructure.
