AI enablement and adoption professional with years of experience helping people adopt new technology, across retail, enterprise tech, and SaaS. I get AI into the hands of non-technical teams and build the tools myself, the way a forward-deployed or solutions engineer works: sit with the customer, build what fits their workflow, and make it stick. My background pairs people leadership (teams of 15 to 35) with hands-on AI work in agent and prompt engineering, workflow automation, and change management.
