At Makes Eleven Consulting, I advise founders and executives on where AI fits their work and how it supports their growth plans. I build automations, dashboards, and training, and test models against answer keys and scoring rubrics before they handle client work.

I set controls for each automated process, including risk-based limits, a 37-category prohibited-actions list, and independent review of every output. I’ve also documented 127 business processes across five industries.

At Capital One Financial Corporation, Community Finance, I won the Impact & Innovation Award for redesigning the deal-file handoff from intake through closing and portfolio management. At McCormack Baron Salazar, I managed development on two multiphase Choice Neighborhoods programs.
