See how I think about AI strategy

A look at my approach to building AI that actually works in production.

AI Projects Fail in Predictable Ways

Before you burn another quarter on experiments, know the three traps that sink 80% of AI initiatives.

The "GPT-5 Will Fix It" Trap

What teams hear:
"GPT can do anything, just plug it in!"

What happens:
"We spent months building something nobody uses."

How I help

I start with your business problem and your users, not the technology. My background in product leadership and human psychology means we identify where AI creates real value before writing a single line of code.

The "Just Call the API" Lie

What teams hear:
"Just call the API, it's easy!"

What happens:
"Our data isn't ready, nothing connects, and we're stuck."

How I help

I design systems that work with your existing infrastructure: data pipelines, security, and the engineering that makes AI actually function in production.

The Demo-to-Production Cliff

What teams hear:
"It works great in the demo!"

What happens:
"It's slow, expensive, and breaks under real load."

How I help

I architect for production from day one: cost optimization, reliability patterns, and the engineering discipline that lets you scale without starting over.
