AI //
Strategy. Delivery. Adoption.
I handle diagnosis, design, and implementation — and the change management that makes it stick.

I handle diagnosis, design, and implementation — and the change management that makes it stick.
Ten years across software engineering, solutions architecture, and sales engineering — not a straight line, but each layer sharpened my ability to spot what's actually broken. Most people see symptoms. My job is finding the cause.
Today: Velocity Road's founding AI Solutions Engineer and a partner in building the practice. My work spans discovery, solution design, training, and adoption — identifying where AI actually fits, designing the solution, and getting people to genuinely embrace it.
Also: constantly building things for fun. Side projects, tools that shouldn't exist but do, experiments that scratch an itch. The kind of tinkering that quietly makes me sharper.
I'm the founding AI Solutions Engineer at Velocity Road — a PE-native AI consulting firm with one mandate: measurable impact in 90 days or less. Strategy that actually gets built. No retainers that drift.
My work spans everything — scoping what's actually possible, architecting the solution, and translating the results into business outcomes leadership can act on. I drive adoption and train the teams who actually have to use it. Middle-market portfolio companies. Real constraints. Real results.
I talk to people, map workflows, and surface the real gaps — then validate what I find before designing anything. The real problems are almost never in the deck.
My goal is a solution that solves the actual problem, not the assumed one. Architecture decisions made upfront save months of rework — I scope what's worth building, then build that.
I work in rapid prototypes and tight iteration loops, with a bias toward time-to-value. Custom, scalable, secure solutions — built with the latest tools, tightened until the ROI is real, not projected.
Not a training session in the last week. My goal isn't just better employees — it's helping people understand how AI makes everything they do more efficient. At work, yes, but also in their lives. When people get that, they stop resisting and start asking for more.
The difference between a tool that's deployed and one that's actually used. Getting people genuinely excited about working with AI — not just compliant with it — is the hardest part of my job.
Side projects in various stages — some shipped, some in progress, some just interesting. A window into what I'm working on, and what I care about.
Shabbat meal planning, AI-powered. Kosher recipe library, smart shopping lists, and AI-generated menus for Jewish families.
Connecting volunteers and leaders with Jewish organizations in Greater Los Angeles. Board seats, committee roles, and volunteer opportunities — all in one place.
A long-distance relationship app. Shared date nights, real-time games, a scrapbook, and daily rituals — built to make two people feel close across any distance.
The field isn't always an office. My observations, experiments, and honest thinking on AI — from client work, personal projects, and everywhere in between.

In my experience, real AI adoption requires two things: a strategy that leadership can execute, and individuals who actually want to use it. Both matter. I'm available for keynotes, workshops, and team sessions on AI strategy and getting the entire organization moving.
