the problem
enterprises roll out ai and adoption quietly stalls. leadership cannot see which teams are resisting, or why, so every intervention is a guess. built for a client presenting at web summit 2025.
outcome
phase 1 delivered and invoiced. i wrote the phase 2 production proposal, team structure and financials included, and it won. engagement completed jun 2026, platform live in production.
what i built
- gpt-4o assistant that executes real navigation and analysis actions in-app, not just answers questions
- 25-zone sentiment engine scoring 5 resistance reasons against 5 discomfort levels across 1,000 responses
- 8-dimension capability maturity model scored against industry benchmark with automated gap detection

05what i'm looking for
role fit
i want to own a product surface, not a backlog column. my value is the full arc: understand the domain, model it into architecture, ship it. i want a role where that arc stays intact.
i'm best where ai is core to the product rather than bolted on. i've shipped five distinct ai integrations to production and i architect from the assumption that models fail: retries, fallbacks, deduplication, and billing that stays correct through all of it.
small to mid product team where engineers sit in product decisions. not a team of 200 where architecture is someone else's job.
