I am a data scientist and business architect based in Salt Lake City, Utah. I've done a lot in life, from managing e-commerce operations and process manufacturing to software development and even studio and stage multimedia production. Now, I am focused on evangelizing open-source inference-based technologies to empower human creativity.
Throughout my career, the thread through it all is the same: transmuting complex and chaotic, real-world information into clear data-driven signals for decision-makers. I'm purpose-driven to solve problems that intersect creative enterprise with technology; not merely just by what the numbers say, but how human action moves them.
Having now completed a Master of Science in Data Analytics, Data Science through Western Governors University, I aim to contribute wherever analytical thinking, business judgment, creative production, and emerging technology converge. Currently I'm focused on Human-AI Interaction and developing a theory of Universal Heuristics based on applied studies in Human Action.
