Technology rarely fails in the box — it fails in the hands.
From frontline support to AI strategy, I've made a career of closing that gap: part strategist, part communicator, turning rollouts into tools people actually want to use.
For a decade I've helped people and organizations turn technology into something they actually use — designing rollouts, training programs, and AI workflows that stick.
Spent the early years hands-on — repairs, field ops, one-on-one coaching. Moved into program design, then organizational strategy, then AI. The title changed every few years. The instinct to make things actually work for people didn’t.

My always-on personal AI — a self-hosted assistant running 24/7 on its own server. Alan chats over Telegram and the web, runs my smart home by voice, watches inboxes and websites and taps me on the shoulder when something matters, and keeps an encrypted memory of everything he learns.
Built from scratch — the same enablement thinking I bring to organizations, pointed at my own life.
