What I'm looking for

I'm open to relocation and interested in building AI-powered products and advising organizations on AI strategy and implementation.

I built NoWaitInLine end to end, from business architecture and passenger-experience strategy to airport operations, F&B inventory management, and a financial model. I’ve pitched it to Turkish Airlines' TERMINAL program, the Lufthansa Innovation Hub, and Grand Rapids' FLITE program, and continue to pitch prospective partners toward a first customer.

At Johnson Electric, I resolved a 9-year backlog of 10,000+ customs entries as a one-person department, saving $47M+ in potential bond overages and penalties. I’ve also built AI-enhanced concierge and business-launch platforms, advised organizations on AI strategy, and published wine-tourism work with De Gruyter.
