I am an AI consultant, software architect, and technical strategist with over 18 years of experience translating advanced AI concepts into practical systems, products, and decision-support tools. My work focuses on applied AI, LLMs, computer vision, machine learning workflows, data systems, and AI-powered digital transformation. I help clients evaluate AI opportunities, design technical architectures, define implementation roadmaps, assess model behavior, and build custom AI-enabled software systems. I hold a Ph.D. from the MIT Media Lab, where my research focused on AI, Bayesian network architectures, sensor fusion, user modeling, and computational storytelling for interactive environments. I also bring a strong interdisciplinary background in artificial intelligence, cognitive science, software systems, and human-centered technology. Core AI services include: • AI consulting and technical strategy. • LLM application design, evaluation, and workflow development. • Computer vision consulting, prototyping, and model evaluation. • AI-powered digital twins, simulation, and scenario-testing systems. • Data pipeline design, BigQuery-based analytics, data streaming, and data governance. • Model training, refinement, evaluation, and technical QA. • Technical specifications, product architecture, and AI implementation roadmaps. • Executive coaching and technical tutoring in AI, Generative AI, computer vision, and machine learning. I am especially strong at bridging strategy and implementation. I can help executives understand what AI can realistically do, help technical teams structure the right architecture, and help product teams translate vague AI ideas into concrete requirements, workflows, and buildable systems. My hands-on technical experience includes Python, PyTorch concepts and model workflows, Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, SQL, C++, C#, Shell scripting, BigQuery, AWS, Node.js, MongoDB, Express.js, and web-based application architecture. I am also currently working through an LLM-from-scratch implementation, similar in spirit to nanoGPT, which gives me a practical understanding of embeddings, attention mechanisms, training loops, loss evaluation, and transformer model code. Recent work includes AI-powered digital twins, pedestrian and traffic simulation, video-based mobility analytics, roadway camera networks, dynamic signage systems, and operational intelligence tools for complex urban and airport environments. Clients typically hire me when they need someone who can combine deep technical judgment, clear communication, and senior-level strategic thinking.
