Twenty years across Tableau, Alteryx, and Databricks, lately pointed at agentic AI and data infrastructure. I help teams figure out which new tech is actually worth betting on, prove it with a pilot, and turn it into a business case that holds up.
// pressure-tested on a solar-powered GPU cluster in my basement before it ever reaches you.
Most "AI strategy" stops at a slide deck. I bring you the working version, then help you decide whether it earns a place in production.
I assess new platforms across AI, agentic systems, and data infrastructure for real-world fit, and prove them with a pilot before you commit budget to scale. You get an honest read on what's real and what's a demo.
Making disparate systems talk to each other. Pipelines, Databricks, REST APIs, and the unglamorous plumbing of getting your data into one place you can actually trust.
Tableau and dashboards that do more than look good in a board meeting. The goal is a number someone can act on, not a chart that wins a beauty contest.
For vendors: technical discovery with CIOs and architects, repeatable POC workflows, demo and value-capture muscle. I've led SE teams and ranked first in the company for new-business ACV, and I'll bring that to your pipeline.
Helping your team actually adopt agentic workflows and tools like Claude Code, the way I use them every day, so the productivity story stops being a promise and starts being a habit.
Truth be told, the most useful thing I do is tell you when something isn't worth it. I'll quantify the pain, propose the smallest thing that moves the needle, and we win together or not at all.
The common thread: making systems that weren't designed to talk to each other do exactly that, then turning the result into something a person can use.
A containerized Discord bot for streamer communities, running on a free-tier cloud box and wired to subscription billing through a Merchant of Record. A small, real example of the whole loop: product, infrastructure, and a payment lands then a feature unlocks.
A specialty grocery on Boston's South Shore where the day-to-day reality is data scattered across point-of-sale, inventory, and ordering systems that were never meant to agree. The work is the integration nobody sees and everybody depends on.
Four machines, substantial combined VRAM, partly run on solar. I use it to run local models and pressure-test agentic tooling on my own dime, which is how I form opinions on this stuff that are worth paying for.
Side projects that earned their own checkout. No store software, just hosted checkout links that handle the tax so I don't have to.
The premium tier for the Discord bot: priority commands, custom triggers, and the features that take real compute to run. Billed monthly through Polar, cancel any time.
SubscribeIf something I made or wrote saved you an afternoon, you can throw a few dollars at the GPU electric bill. No fee skimmed off the top, it all goes to the cluster (and, occasionally, ice cream sandwiches).
Buy me a coffeeI take on projects, fractional engagements, and the occasional "can you just tell me if this is real" advisory call. I'm on the South Shore and work remotely, and I'm happy to start with a no-pressure conversation about what you're trying to do.
