Building AI systems
that do useful work.

Nashville, Tennessee

I’m a Founding AI Engineer at opus , building agents and document intelligence for enterprise procurement. Previously, I helped build Dayos from the ground up.

I care about taking an idea all the way to production: the models, the systems, and the details that make them work.

06 / Beyond work

On the other
side of the lens.

A camera. A little curiosity.
Something worth sharing.
