Project details
I built one of the first news personalization engines at Microsoft (100M+ users) and I'm currently building a multi-agent AI orchestration platform. I know what's real and what's hype.
Most AI strategies fail because they start with technology instead of business problems. I flip that—starting with what actually matters to your business, then designing the simplest architecture that delivers value.
What I assess:
• AI readiness (data, infrastructure, team capabilities)
• Use case prioritization (value vs feasibility matrix)
• Build vs buy decisions for each component
• Vendor evaluation (LLMs, vector DBs, tools)
• Risk identification and mitigation
What you get:
Starter: Readiness assessment + opportunity identification (3 pages)
Standard: Full strategy + architecture + 90-day roadmap + video walkthrough
Advanced: Enterprise blueprint with governance, multi-agent design, 2x strategy sessions
My background: 25 years in tech leadership including VP Engineering at Nordstrom (800 engineers, $300M budget), CTO at Virtuoso, and co-founder of Mindbloom (acquired $17M).
I won't sell you on AI—I'll tell you where it works for YOUR business.

Job Success
Sioux Falls, United States - 4:38 pm local time
After 25 years leading engineering at Microsoft, Nordstrom, and as CTO of a $50M travel tech company, I now run an AI-augmented development practice that delivers in days what typically takes weeks.
WHAT I DELIVER:
→ PRDs & technical specs
→ Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
→ Interactive HTML/React prototypes
→ Working, deployable code
→ Full MVPs ready for users
MY SWEET SPOT:
- AI/LLM integrations and agent systems
- SaaS product development
- Complex data workflows
- Legacy system modernization
- Technical due diligence
WHY CLIENTS HIRE ME:
You get enterprise-grade thinking with startup speed. I've led $40M budgets and 200-person teams, but I deliver like a hungry founder. Fixed-price projects preferred - you know the cost upfront, I absorb the risk.
RECENT WINS:
- Built multi-agent AI orchestration system with Temporal.io
- Designed Bayesian product validation platform
- Led digital transformation for Fortune 500 retailer
I'm selective about projects but move fast when engaged. If you need something built right, built fast, and built to scale - let's talk.
