About

AI Systems Architect with 20+ years building scalable products.
Empirical validation. Production systems. Real results.

Background

I build AI systems that work in production — not demos, not prototypes, not research papers. Systems that ship, scale, and generate revenue.

Over the past 2 years, I've architected multi-agent LLM coordination platforms, trained reinforcement learning agents achieving 77% win rates, and designed algorithmic execution systems. Before AI, I spent 20+ years building businesses and leading teams — founded and scaled Vixil to $6.45M annual revenue, managed 220-seat operations at American Home Patient, led sales transformation at Dell generating $25M+ annually.

What makes my approach different: empirical validation over theory. I've run 6,479+ documented backtests. I don't trust a system until it proves itself on out-of-sample data. I built a 200K+ SKU database that optimized procurement for two businesses. I designed RL agents that learn from principles, not patterns.

Currently: Sales Director at PSA Worldwide (sales transformation, compensation design, process optimization) while building AI consulting practice. Open to strategic AI product leadership roles at startups where shipping working products matters more than publishing papers.

Philosophy

Empirical First
Validate through testing before trusting theory. 6,479+ backtests aren't decoration — they're how you know something actually works.
Ship Working Products
Prototype fast, test rigorously, deploy confidently. Production systems beat elegant theories that never leave the lab.
Right Over Fast
Correct architecture compounds over time. Quick hacks decay. Build it right, even if it takes longer.
Measure Everything
Quantify performance, track metrics, optimize systematically. You can't improve what you don't measure.
