Currently: Applied AI at Fulcro Labs →

I'm happiest at the seam between emerging technology and real businesses — taking something genuinely hard, like applied AI or connected hardware, and turning it into a product people quietly rely on every day. The impact I care about is leverage: helping small teams ship things that move revenue, buy back their time, and keep working long after the engagement ends.
