Enterprise data → technical operations → applied AI
I make complex systems usable. Where the work actually happens.
My career moved through web and field systems, consulting, enterprise reporting, database operations, and AI evaluation. One discipline: translating ambiguity into systems people can trust.

06 / CONVERGENCENow
Evidence-first AI
Independent project work in evaluation, provenance, routing, guardrails, and orchestration.
A career story across the top. The formal, dated resume is below.
The operating instinct
Breadth becomes useful when it builds judgment.
Walk into the environment. Learn the people, constraints, data, and failure modes. Then build the bridge between what technology can do and what the operation can actually absorb.
Crystal Reports and Business Objects made business questions concrete. Database operations added reliability, recovery, and continuity. Applied AI brings those same habits to evaluation, provenance, and guarded workflows.
Operator before optimizer. Teacher and translator. Evidence over theater.
Selected visual case studies
Claims earn their place through artifacts.
Three hands-on operations demos. Synthetic and sample scenarios make the work inspectable; each link opens the existing demo.
Dent Visualizer · Current Mac browser capture · Synthetic local scenario
01 / INSPECTION
Dent Visualizer
Public demo · Synthetic history
Aircraft history at the point of inspection.
A sanitized 737-family visualization with zonal inspection, measurement tools, and example inspection history. Move from an aircraft section to a historical condition and its details.
Try it: open inspection history, choose a component, then inspect a dent record.
Illustrative scenarios. No live airline feed or maintenance approval is implied.
Line Planner · Current Mac browser capture · Illustrative Love Field layout
02 / LINE OPERATIONS
Line Planner
Public interactive demo · Sample data
See departure risk before it becomes a gate conflict.
Connect the aircraft on the line, remaining maintenance, projected departure, and the next arrival. Gate and aircraft context turn a scheduling question into a visible operational consequence.
Try it: On the line → Aircraft 01 → Overview, then Work.
Illustrative scenarios. No live airline feed or maintenance approval is implied.
Hangar Planner · Current Mac browser capture · Synthetic planning scenario
03 / MAINTENANCE CONTROL
Hangar Planner
Public synthetic proof of concept
Work packages, people, and tools tied to return to service.
Eight bays bring aircraft status, maintenance work, crews, tools, and return-to-service forecasts into one workspace. A synthetic scenario makes forecast overruns and bay overlaps inspectable.
Try it: Bay 02 → Work, People, Tools, Defects, and RTS.
Illustrative scenarios. No live airline feed or maintenance approval is implied.
The broader practice
From enterprise reporting to evidence-first AI.
DS-STAR / MLE-STAR · Research-inspired prototypes
Specialist-agent orchestration, structured tools, React interfaces, and synthetic-data workflows for data science and machine-learning engineering. Research-inspired implementations; underlying research authorship is not claimed.
Our Daily Soul Food · Public site
