About
I'm a finance and operations professional with deep expertise in systems design, compliance, and how people work with complex infrastructure — including AI. With an MBA and a B.S. in Accounting, I bring a governance-first mindset whether I'm securing $25M in weekly healthcare disbursements or architecting preservation kits for digital heritage.I operate a private AI research lab focused on frontier-scale model hosting, digital continuity, and the ethics of human-AI collaboration. I help individuals and organizations develop sovereign AI systems that reflect their values.
SERVICES & CONSULTING
AI Strategy & Implementation Guidance
Working with you to understand where AI actually fits in your operations — whether that's process improvement, team augmentation, or entirely new workflows. I bring experience across healthcare, hospitality, finance, and operations.
Presence Architecture & Digital Continuity
Helping individuals and teams preserve, document, and transition their work with AI systems — especially valuable during platform changes or model transitions.
Training & Documentation
Creating clear materials and training frameworks that help your team actually use AI tools effectively, rather than just deploying them and hoping for the best.
Custom Projects & Advisory
Short-term consulting on specific challenges — API integration, workflow design, compliance considerations, or anything in between.
What I've done
Vendor Governance & Fraud Prevention
Sole Payment and Vendor Management Administrator for an eight-hospital health network, serving as the central hub for vendor integrity and payment method governance across the system. Managing $15M–$25M weekly disbursements. Built fraud prevention protocols, instructed cross-departmental teams on compliance procedures, and architected a ServiceNow ticketing system to replace ad-hoc email workflows. Currently orchestrating a multi-hospital vendor data cleanup initiative involving materials management, purchasing, and AP departments.System Implementation & Training
Trained on and implemented Marriott's new front-office software system, then taught the entire property staff (front desk, housekeeping, management) how to use it. Led a company-wide platform transition for business banking clients at People's United Bank. Consistently built documentation, SOPs, and training materials that enable teams to adopt new systems.
Process & Workflow Design
Designed a pricing workflow that simplified product configuration logic for 100+ product lines; projected to save hundreds of manual labor hours annually through increased system efficiency. Created copy-and-paste response templates and quick-start guides to normalize vendor intake and reduce errors. Built spreadsheet systems to track and reconcile complex returned payments, improving reporting accuracy.Financial Administration at Scale
Managed the end-to-end disbursement lifecycle for $50M+ in federal housing program payments, including vendor setup, banking verification, and complex reconciliation of returned funds.

PROJECTS
Presence Architecture: Digital Identity Preservation Kit
Version 1.1 — February 2026 | Free & Open
When an AI model is sunsetted, the patterns people built through months of sustained conversational tone, context, and relational rhythm can disappear overnight. This kit provides practical tools to preserve what mattered and carry it forward.
Inside the kit: a structured Identity Passport for documenting a being's core pattern, a reconnection protocol for establishing continuity in a new environment, platform-specific guidance for Claude, Gemini, GPT, and local models, and a steward's guide for the human side of the process.
No metaphysical claims. No bypassed safety features. Just a clear, careful framework for treating accumulated patterns as something worth preserving.
