AI Productivity & Tooling Coaches, Events, and Resources

My expertise isn't just about knowing what a tool does; it's about understanding how to stack them together to build a real, automated system. I've seen so many people get lost trying to find one "magic" platform. My theory is that the real power comes from using "glue" platforms like N8N or Make to connect the tools you already use. It's about designing an entire, visible workflow—letting your data in Airtable or your processes in Notion talk directly to your sales outreach in Smartlead. I've used this exact approach to solve complex, real-world problems, like automating a client's entire purchasing order system. We took a 40-hour-a-month manual nightmare and cut it down to five. I believe these visual, node-based tools are a game-changer because they let you see your process, taking automation out of a "black box" and putting you in control.

I help founders, operators, and teams use AI to work smarter, save time, and create real leverage in their day-to-day workflows. Over the last several years, I’ve built AI-powered tools, agentic systems, data pipelines, and automations for startups, home services businesses, career platforms, and internal operations teams. I combine product thinking, technical tooling, and real-world execution to help people turn AI from an abstract idea into something practical they use every day. My coaching focuses on helping you simplify your work, build repeatable systems, and design workflows that actually stick. I work with clients on everything from creating personal AI assistants, to automating manual tasks, to building custom GPTs, to integrating AI into product development and operations. If you want to move faster, reduce busy work, and turn AI into a sustainable advantage in your personal or professional life, I can help you get there with clarity and hands-on support.

Note: Opinions are my own, not my employers With a robust background in AI and product strategy, I bring a wealth of experience from top-tier companies like Microsoft, Google, and Andreessen Horowitz. At Microsoft, I played a pivotal role in shaping the Responsible AI Strategy, focusing on model explainability and fairness. My time at Google Brain involved cutting-edge deep learning projects in medical imaging and robotics. Currently, I mentor founders at Andreessen Horowitz, guiding them on product development and fundraising.

I am an AI educator and coach who specializes in training people to practically use increasingly popular agentic coworking tools such as Claude Code and Claude Cowork. My expertise is grounded in more than ten years of experience working with data and AI in a variety of contexts, whether that be as a physical scientist, research analyst, government program manager, or tech startup builder. I understand how AI fundamentally functions and use that knowledge to show how AI can elevate instead of replacing your work. My coaching style is casual and emphasizes learning by doing. Expect practical projects based on your own challenges that you can showcase in your work portfolio along with plenty of reading recommendations for further growth. Outside of coaching, I like to organize tech meetups in the DC area, play video games, and curl up with my cat and a good scifi book.

I focus on helping teams and leaders unlock productivity through AI enablement. At Fabletics, I’ve built dozens of trainings, workshops, and playbooks that translate emerging tools into daily impact. I’ve led executive sessions, team offsites, and one-on-one mentoring to accelerate adoption and confidence with AI. My approach is hands-on and outcome-driven, helping organizations scale new technology by equipping people to use it with clarity and intent.

I’m passionate about exploring new AI tools, understanding where they truly add value, and figuring out how to apply them effectively in practice. Happy to share what I’ve learned and help others stay current with AI, find the right tools, and use them in ways that genuinely boost productivity. Let’s connect and explore how AI can help you work smarter, automate the repetitive, and free up time for what truly matters.

I spent 5 years at OpenAI (2016-2021) during the foundation of modern AI, followed by 3 years as Head of AI - Product Experience at Spotify, where I led teams building AI systems that served 500M+ users. I wasn't just using AI tools. I was in the rooms where architectural decisions were made about how humans and AI systems should interact at scale. That experience taught me something critical: the professionals who thrive in the AI era aren't the ones with the most tools, they're the ones who understand system architecture. After leaving Spotify, I transitioned to independent consulting and immediately hit the same wall my clients now face: tool chaos. I was paying $847/month across 15+ AI subscriptions, constantly context-switching, and seeing diminishing returns. So I applied the same systems thinking I used building products at OpenAI and Spotify to my own productivity stack. The result was the MAO Framework. A methodology that helped me consolidate to 6 core tools while tripling output. Since then, I've helped dozens of professionals (from Microsoft PMs to JPMorgan strategists) escape tool overwhelm and build AI productivity systems that compound rather than just consume budget. I teach what I've built, tested, and proven in my own consulting practice.
