Applied AI Strategist | CTO | Engineer
With a Bachelor's degree in English from St. Cloud State University and a background in Medieval Studies from Saint John's University, I have built a diverse career in technology and AI. Currently, I serve as the Applied AI Strategist, CTO, and Founding Engineer at Viscera Systems, where I prototype AI agents and design application architectures. My expertise extends to building LLM models and developing consumer-facing platforms using Typescript and Python. As a consultant at Pragmapool, Inc., I provide strategic consulting and technical development services while writing technical tutorials. Previously, I co-founded Seven Interruptions, LLC, focusing on process improvement for organizations. My role as a Senior Software Engineer at Protolabs involved contributing to software development and quality assurance strategies. I am passionate about technology and AI, continually exploring new methodologies in LLM prompt engineering and system design.
