Enterprise AI/ML
Architect & Leader
Bridging executive vision and technical execution—architecting AI/ML systems at Fortune 50 healthcare scale while consulting on automation strategy and building autonomous agent platforms.
Architecting ML systems at HCA Healthcare's Digital Transformation & Innovation organization, working with one of healthcare's largest proprietary datasets (186+ hospitals, 39M+ patient encounters annually) to build intelligent systems—from clinical decision support to workflow automation—that deliver measurable impact on patient outcomes and operational efficiency.
Three-Pronged Innovation Strategy
Operating across three domains—enterprise execution, strategic consulting, and product development—each informing and strengthening the others.
For employers: These three tracks demonstrate breadth of capability for Director-level roles. Open to consolidating focus in the right high-impact opportunity.
Healthcare AI at Frontier Scale
HCA Healthcare - Digital Transformation & Innovation
Current Focus
Working at the intersection of AI/ML and clinical care with access to one of healthcare's most comprehensive proprietary datasets—186+ hospitals, 2,000+ care sites, 39M+ patient encounters annually. Building intelligent systems where the stakes are life-or-death and the impact is measurable in lives saved and care quality improved.
Key Learnings
How to architect AI/ML systems with real-world clinical data at massive scale, navigate healthcare's unique regulatory landscape (HIPAA, FDA, clinical validation), deploy ML models in mission-critical environments, and build AI systems that clinicians trust and actually use.
Cross-Application
Patterns for deploying AI in regulated, high-stakes environments translate to consulting clients in finance and manufacturing. Understanding what works with messy real-world data informs realistic expectations for Agentic-PR. Healthcare AI experience is specialized, high-value expertise applicable across regulated industries.
Currently engaged in meaningful work, exploring Director opportunities for growth
Fortune 50 Expertise for Mid-Market
Independent Consulting Practice
Current Focus
Selective consulting practice bringing HCA and Accenture-level automation expertise to mid-market companies ($50M-$500M revenue) who need enterprise capabilities but cannot afford big firm pricing. Hands-on implementation, not PowerPoint strategy. Services include: Automation Strategy & Roadmap (discovery, ROI analysis, 12-month prioritized roadmap, $10K-$15K, 3-4 weeks), AI/ML Proof-of-Concept (working prototype with real data, feasibility validation, production roadmap, $15K-$30K, 6-10 weeks), and Implementation & Integration (custom automation development, system integration, team training, knowledge transfer, $20K-$50K, 8-12 weeks).
Key Learnings
How to communicate ROI and business value to non-technical executives, delivering results on tight budgets and compressed timelines, what mid-market companies actually need versus what enterprises can afford, and building solutions that work immediately rather than just impressive prototypes. The discipline of scoping high-ROI opportunities quickly and delivering on limited budgets.
Cross-Application
Consulting sharpens ability to identify high-value opportunities quickly and communicate technical concepts to business stakeholders. The ROI discipline and budget constraints make me better at prioritizing HCA initiatives and more realistic about Agentic-PR's commercial requirements. Working with diverse clients across industries provides patterns applicable to both enterprise and product work.
Maintaining 2-3 substantial engagements annually, currently booking Q1 2026 and beyond, flexible for right opportunities including full-time Director roles
Building AI Agent Platform
Agentic-PR - Founder & Lead Developer
Current Focus
Full-stack AI agent platform automating media research, personalized outreach, and relationship management for PR professionals. Multi-agent architecture with specialized AI agents (Research, Personalization, Outreach, Learning, Relationship) that collaborate through event-driven architecture. Tech stack: NestJS (TypeScript) backend for agent orchestration, PostgreSQL + Pinecone vector database for relationship intelligence, Redis for real-time coordination, OpenAI GPT-4 for language generation, Next.js dashboard, React Native mobile apps. Using dogfooding strategy—the product will pitch itself to journalists—to validate with real-world use before seeking customers.
Key Learnings
How LLMs and autonomous agents actually work when building with them daily, separating AI hype from reality through hands-on production implementation, full product lifecycle from ideation through architecture to market, what customers want versus what technologists think is impressive, and the practical challenges of deploying AI systems that must perform reliably. Founder thinking and product-market fit validation.
Cross-Application
Building Agentic-PR keeps me at the frontier of LLM and agent technologies. When consulting clients ask about AI or HCA evaluates vendor claims, I have hands-on implementation experience to provide informed, honest guidance. The technical depth from daily work with cutting-edge AI informs both enterprise architecture decisions and consulting recommendations. Product development teaches what actually works versus what sounds good in demos.
Core agent framework complete, research and personalization agents functional, planning Q1 2026 dogfooding campaign to validate with real journalists before beta launch
Cross-Pollination, Not Distraction
HCA teaches scale, applies to consulting and product
Consulting teaches ROI, applies to HCA and product
Product teaches emerging tech, applies to HCA and consulting
Each track strengthens the others. This breadth is what Director-level roles require.

Background
Most engineers start technical and learn business later. I did the opposite—and it makes all the difference.
The Journey
Started: National Merit Scholar, studied narrative systems and cultural frameworks at Emory University and Université Paris Cité
Then: Executive coach in Paris, advising C-suite leaders in finance and energy on negotiation and strategy
Next: Rice University faculty, teaching intercultural communication and leadership
Finally: Full-stack developer → ML/AI engineer → Enterprise automation leader
Why It Matters
I understand executive decision-making before writing a single line of code. I know what C-suite cares about because I coached them.
This means I can architect systems AND explain them to the board. Build products AND understand go-to-market. Lead technical teams AND communicate with stakeholders.
I bridge the gap between executive vision and technical execution—because I have lived on both sides.
What I Bring to Director-Level Roles
Technical Depth
Full-stack development, ML/AI, enterprise automation at Fortune 50 scale
Business Acumen
Executive coaching background, C-suite communication fluency, strategic business thinking
Communication Excellence
Former Rice faculty, Paris executive coach—can explain technical concepts to any audience
Healthcare Expertise
Deep experience in healthcare technology, compliance, and enterprise systems
Entrepreneurial Execution
Built and shipped products from concept to market, founder mindset
Cross-Context Fluency
Moves seamlessly between technical teams, executives, and customers
Where I Am Now
I am at HCA Healthcare (186+ hospitals, 2,000+ care sites) architecting digital transformation systems while building AI platforms and consulting with select clients. It is meaningful work, but I am exploring Director-level opportunities for larger teams, broader strategy, and accelerated growth.
I have proven I can deliver at Fortune 50 scale (HCA Healthcare, Accenture). I have built products from scratch (Agentic-PR, Mellifera). I have advised executives (Paris coaching practice) and taught at top universities (Rice University). Now I am looking for the right opportunity to bring all of this together in a single high-impact role.
Ready to lead. Ready to scale. Ready for the right opportunity.
