I am a professor of computer science, AI/ML research scientist and consultant, software engineer, and former technology executive working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, computer science, education, and human intellectual development.

My current work focuses increasingly on how humans can use powerful AI systems without surrendering the intellectual functions that make the work genuinely theirs. I developed Intellectual Agency, a framework for using AI as intellectual leverage while preserving human ownership of understanding, judgment, verification, and final responsibility.

I created the AI-Integrated Classroom, an educational implementation of Intellectual Agency in which AI is intentionally incorporated into learning while student reasoning, development, verification, explanation, and intellectual ownership remain central.

I consult in the areas of agentic deployment, especially as it relates to Sovereign AI. I design and build AI systems through IQumulus, LLC.

My technical background spans artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, neural networks, time-series modeling, software engineering, software architecture, and enterprise systems. I have worked across hands-on engineering, research, technical leadership, executive management, consulting, and higher education.

I write about artificial intelligence, computer science, sovereign AI design and construction, higher education, learning, human–AI collaboration, and the changing nature of intellectual work in the age of generative AI.

I also write about Stoicism on The Strategic Stoic.
