AI product and technology leader

I lead complex software and AI products from strategy to operation.

For more than 30 years, I have worked across product direction, architecture, engineering, delivery, and company leadership— especially where new technology has to become a product teams can ship, govern, and improve.

About

The tools changed. The responsibility to turn possibility into a product did not.

The longer story includes the leadership approach behind the work and the computing timeline that began with cartridges, BASIC, and the first programs I could make answer back.
