The Modern Data CompanyAbout
I turn complex customer problems into practical AI solutions.My background spans product, engineering, and customer delivery. I’ve built AI tools at Microsoft, worked with enterprise and government teams, and founded a product around real-world workflows.What matters most to me is choosing the right approach, building it thoughtfully, and making sure it works for the people using it. I studied Information Systems and Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon and write about applied AI and reliable systems.
