I work where AI meets the systems a business actually runs on.

As Field CTO at AHEAD, I help technology and SaaS clients put agentic AI to work inside the software development lifecycle and run it safely in production. My thesis is simple: we are rewriting the business operating system with AI.

The hard part is not the agents. It is the oversight.

Anyone can wire up an agent. Making agentic AI defensible at scale takes governance: LLM-as-judge evaluation, continuous auditing, complete decision traceability, and production observability. That is the discipline I build first, the same discipline regulators expect in financial services, healthcare, and energy (FINRA, FDA, NRC).

Vision and delivery in one set of hands.

In most organizations the person with the vision hands off to a separate delivery team, and fidelity is lost in translation. I architect something novel and stand behind the team that ships it, so what I describe on stage is what actually runs in production.

Built in the open with 2,100+ practitioners.

I founded Austin LangChain AIMUG because the hardest problems require collective intelligence. Now 2,100+ members strong and expanding internationally, the community shares production patterns, debugs real implementations, and pushes the boundaries of practical AI.

The future belongs to AI that works when everything is on the line.
