About

I'm a strategy consultant at Deloitte, working at the intersection of AI adoption, financial operations, and workforce planning for large, complex organizations. Most of my work is the same underneath: take a messy operating problem, find the structure in it, and build something — a model, a tool, a plan — that makes the next decision easier.

Before this I was at Guidehouse. Along the way I've picked up a PMP, an AWS Certified AI Practitioner credential, and a Public Trust clearance — less because I collect credentials and more because each one forced me to actually learn the thing rather than talk around it.

Outside of client work, I build. CashLens and Affordit are both live products I designed and shipped. I'm also training for the Honolulu Marathon this December, studying for the GRE ahead of M7 MBA applications, and spent a chunk of my childhood in Singapore, which is probably why I still can't stop thinking about how businesses move across borders.

Writing

I write mostly about AI adoption inside organizations that move slowly by design — where the constraint usually isn't the technology. New pieces go up periodically; this list is a placeholder until the first ones are live.
