What I'm looking for

I seek roles guiding AI adoption and product strategy where I can build secure AI solutions, train stakeholders, and drive measurable impact through analytics and automation.

I am an AI product and data professional who teaches and builds practical, secure AI solutions for institutions. I design AI-driven products, automate reporting pipelines, and translate stakeholder needs into actionable technical work.

At Florida State College at Jacksonville I built intranet AI applications, designed a metadata-rich database with APIs, created an Oracle Analytics Cloud Perkins dashboard, and automated SQL reporting with Python to accelerate insights.

I created and teach a four-class AI course for administrators, faculty, advisors, and analysts covering LLM fundamentals, security/ethics, and department use cases, and I led GPT-4 chatbot and AI product efforts that improved service efficiency and online sales.

My background includes roles in technical support, financial advising, and forecasting model development; I combine strong communication and stakeholder collaboration with technical skills in Python, SQL, and analytics to guide AI adoption and product strategy.
