The short version
I've spent my career doing the kind of work that doesn't fit neatly into a job title. Strategy, operations, analytics — usually some combination of all three. Most of it in manufacturing and healthcare consulting, where the problems are messy and the answers rarely come from a single department.
At Micrometals, a family-owned electronics manufacturer, I was the person leadership called when something needed rigorous analysis — pricing strategy, capacity planning, operational efficiency, and international supply chain management. At Innopiphany, a boutique healthcare consultancy, I was their first employee — running market access strategy, briefing pharma executives, and building internal tools from scratch.
The common thread: figure out what the actual question is before anyone else has framed it, then build something useful around the answer.
Why this site exists
When AI tools went from interesting to genuinely useful, I started using them the same way I approach any operational problem: what's the job to be done, and what's the most direct path to doing it well?
Project Short Circuit is a record of that. Real projects I've actually completed, built with AI. A newsletter I write every week. Skills I'm developing, documented honestly — including the parts that didn't work. I'm not an AI engineer or a data scientist. I'm a strategist who found a tool that changes how work gets done, and I'm figuring out exactly how far it goes.
If you're curious about any of the projects, they're all here.
When I'm not building things with AI, I'm probably running a triathlon training block, losing a board game, working on a woodworking project, or reading about medieval history. Make of that what you will.
