I split my time between writing for TechPulse Daily and consulting, mostly freelance work with defense and tech companies on data and software problems. I also teach, which keeps me honest about explaining hard ideas in plain language. Academically I hold two Master's degrees, one in IT and one in Big Data, so the data-heavy end of the AI conversation is where I'm most at home. Happy to talk about practical AI adoption, big data in production, and what building and shipping software actually looks like once you get past the press releases.
