Founded and ran the Strategic Intelligence function: turning the platform's performance data into executive-grade intelligence products for some of the world's largest banks, insurers, consultancies, and government programs. • Built an AI-accelerated delivery engine producing bespoke executive readiness reports, peer benchmarks, and threat-informed program assessments for Fortune 500 security organizations in days instead of weeks • Created a periodic threat intelligence digest mapping live threat-actor activity to workforce readiness; validated by marquee enterprise customers and selected for productization in the platform • Designed a cyber resilience benchmarking methodology aligned to MITRE ATT&CK, spanning 300+ enterprise organizations under strict anonymity governance • Shipped an ROI calculator and an AI-assisted proposal system adopted by sales teams, cutting proposal build time from days to roughly 30 minutes • Automated recurring reporting workflows, returning 60+ hours per cycle to customer-facing teams

Building FlowState AI—because AI coding assistants kept breaking my code at 4 AM. I'm a data scientist by trade—11+ years across EdTech, InsurTech, FinTech, and BioTech. I know how to build things. But AI was making me slower, not faster. Then I realized: AI isn't stupid. It's untrained. So I built the training program it needed. FlowState turns AI chaos into orchestrated development. Projects that took 4 weeks now ship in 4 days. I write about: → Making AI actually productive → Building side projects at 40+ → The retirement math nobody wants to do If you're technical, building something that matters, and tired of AI making it harder—follow along or DM me.
