About
I build systems that let people do things they could not do before. That sounds abstract, so: an algorithm to catch forest fires early, a warehouse system, a company-wide AI adoption program, two AI products on nights and weekends, and a football game about identity security.
The common thread is not the technology. It is the gap between what a tool can do and what people are actually willing to do with it. That gap is almost always confidence, not capability, and closing it is the part I am good at. Hand me something at the idea stage and I will run it to shipped.
Right now I am Social Media Manager and AI Engineer at Oasis Security, where I own social, brand and content, manage two designers, and build the AI systems the team runs on. I took the role as a career switch, with no social media background at all, and the organic growth numbers on the work page are what happened next. I pick up new platforms fast and I am comfortable not knowing yet, which is most of the job when the tooling changes every few months.
