AI DOESN’T NEED HYPE OR FEAR.
I help with all three: clearly, honestly, and on your terms.
I've spent more than a decade doing the unglamorous parts of digital work. Keeping websites running, locking down security, making content systems that real people can actually use. Most recently that meant running the entire digital operation for a community hospital.
Now I'm focused on something I care about more: helping everyday people get comfortable with AI, on their own terms.
Services
Practical help for AI, security, and digital systems that need to make sense in real life.
Featured starter engagement
For law, accounting, medical, dental, and financial practices that know AI is already showing up in daily work, but need clear rules before sensitive client or patient information ends up in the wrong tool.
This practical engagement includes an AI exposure review, a plain-language internal policy, and one safer, documented workflow your team can actually use.
"I know AI is important, but I don't know where to start."
I hear this constantly. Whether it's a one-on-one session or a small group workshop, we sit down together and figure out what AI can actually do for you: no jargon, no pressure, on your terms.
"I don't really know if my website or online accounts are safe."
Most small businesses and individuals are more exposed than they realize. I take a practical look at your digital footprint and tell you exactly what needs attention, and what doesn't.
"I want to use AI in my work but I don't know where it fits."
I map your actual workflow, find where AI can genuinely help, and build tools customized to how you work, not how some generic use case says you should.
"I need someone technical I can ask before we make a bad decision."
For teams that want practical guidance as AI tools, web risks, and digital systems keep changing. I can help review tools, think through workflows, flag security concerns, and keep your team from making expensive or risky tech decisions in isolation.
Selected projects
Product · 2026 Hatchathon Winner
An AI-assisted contract review platform for construction professionals. Surfaces risk clauses, flags deadlines, and surfaces supporting documentation, built bilingually in English and Spanish. Co-built with my daughter, who is an active realtor.
Research & Systems
A working agent memory system built from scratch. Layered context handling, session continuity, belief tracking, and the infrastructure that lets an AI assistant maintain coherent identity across conversations. This is what I do when I'm building for myself.
Case Study
A decade of web, security, content, and infrastructure work for a community hospital: CMS architecture, HIPAA-aware content systems, bot mitigation, and the steady unglamorous care that keeps a healthcare site dependable. Real deadlines, real stakes, no decorative tech.
Security
Investigating and stopping coordinated scraping and bot attacks against client sites. Multi-layer Cloudflare WAF strategy, traffic pattern analysis, and the kind of small-team defensive work most security writing skips over.
Client Work
Content strategy, technical SEO, and ongoing web work for a specialty manufacturing client serving industrial buyers. The unglamorous backbone of a site that has to perform for procurement engineers, not just look good.
AI for the Real World
Most people are being introduced to AI through hype, fear, or tools they do not actually need. Practical AI is my plain-language teaching space for people who want to understand what these tools can do, what to avoid, and how to use them without getting overwhelmed.
It is a slow build, and it is part of the work that matters most to me.
If that is what brings you here, the best place to start is the Facebook page.
