About

From AI strategy to agents in production

I lead the work that takes a company from an AI decision to agents running in production. I have built AI systems hands-on since 2021. Most recently, I built an agent on Anthropic's Claude Agent SDK for a $6B insurance brokerage that is now in production. Before that, I spent nearly nine years at McKinsey on the front-office systems of large enterprises, including as CTO for McKinsey North America's first large-scale digital business building program. I also run Sightline Geospatial and Miniature Systems from Iowa City.
