The work

Built. Shipped. Taught.

Every case study here is a system that ran in production for real users — and every one of them became curriculum.

VoicePath AI

VoicePath is an AI agency I founded to ship HIPAA-compliant voice agents that automate front-desk operations, after-visit summaries, and customer interactions across healthcare, insurance, finance, and legal.

Productized voice AI for regulated industries — including a HIPAA-compliant AI Phone Agent integrated with Veradigm EHR — that improved patient communication response times 60% and reduced administrative workload 50%.

AI-Enhanced Document Chatbot

A conversational agent that lets users query and retrieve information from complex documents — contracts, grant proposals, research papers — backed by GPT-4 and a vector database.

Turned dense, unsearchable documents into conversational interfaces with transparent retrieval — citations included, hallucinations bounded.

AI News Bot

An AI tool for marketers, content creators, and analysts that automates the aggregation, analysis, and summarization of trending topics into actionable HTML reports.

Compressed the daily 'what should I be paying attention to?' research loop into a one-click report, powered by GPT and live news APIs.

AI Receptionist

An always-on AI front desk that handles call intake, appointment scheduling, and routine inquiries using natural language, deployed for healthcare practices and small businesses.

Replaced fragile auto-attendants with a conversational receptionist that answers, qualifies, and routes calls without making customers feel like they're talking to a tree.

AImpact is the AI education organization I founded — contracted by Microsoft for Azure OpenAI bootcamps and commissioned by Google + Dream Machine Innovation Labs for the AI Library Project tour, with 80+ workshops delivered to 10,000+ professionals.

Translated frontier Generative AI into pragmatic workflows for 10,000+ professionals across 80+ workshops, including Microsoft Azure OpenAI bootcamps that lifted certification pass-rates 30% and a Google-backed five-city AI Library Project tour.

AI Grant Writer on GPT-3 (2021)

One of the first GPT-3-powered grant writing tools, built at Lightship Capital to help nonprofits and portfolio companies author funding proposals before generative AI was a household idea.

Built a working AI Grant Writer in 2021 — well before ChatGPT — that enhanced grant response throughput 2.5x and delivered a 60% reduction in grant authoring labor.
