I build practical tools with AI, then teach people to use them.

Director of AI at PIVOTL, the leading financial services partner for home‑service companies. Certified ServiceTitan Coach. This is where I write down what I'm learning while I do it.

How it's grown so far

Starting Jun 24, 2025. Each step built on the one before it.

00Earlier

Before all this

Started a mobile app studio in my first month of college. Then I learned the trades from the business side.

  1. 01

    Systems Architect

    Started on the systems side: scripts, sheets and the plumbing that keeps client work moving. First came payroll and accounting scripts, then client workflow automations. Small wins that saved real hours.

  2. 02

    Director of AI

    Moved into leading the AI work: custom assistants, 47 automation scripts, and tools the whole team uses.

  3. 032026

    Teaching it forward

    AI workshops for the whole team, a training sprint for new hires, and a seat on the leadership team.

    Learning in public

    Exploring what changes when AI runs on hardware you control. Writing it down here.

Build03

  • A set of custom AI assistants, each built for a specific job on the team, so people get help inside the work they already do.

  • 47 automation scripts. Payroll and accounting first, then client workflow automations. Small wins that saved real hours.

  • Published a Chrome extension used across the ServiceTitan team.

Teach03

  • 3 workshops, about 15 people each, aimed at getting people past the intimidating part.

  • Sitting down with one person and their own work until the tool makes sense to them.

  • A training sprint that helps new hires get up to speed with the team's tools.

Lead03

  • A seat on the leadership team, bringing the AI side into how decisions get made.

  • Rebuilt our team's docs, workflows and delivery playbook.

  • Tools draft and check. A person says yes before anything actually changes.

Explore03

  • What changes when AI runs on hardware you control. Lots of reading, lots of breaking things.

  • Assistants that pass work to each other, and back to a person, without dropping it.

  • Built an internal all-in-one operations platform prototype at a company hackathon.

What I'm on right now

Building

Simpler tools the team can run without me in the middle.

Learning

Running AI on local hardware. Lots of reading, lots of breaking things.

Teaching

Somewhere along the way I became "the AI guy" at work, mostly because I like helping people past the intimidating part.
