Over 85% of AI projects fail to deliver a return on investment because they start with technology, not a business problem. I’m fixing that by empowering companies and training people to stop experimenting with AI and start monetizing it.

Define, align, and manage the business and technical transformations that turn C-level AI visions into products, productivity, and revenue. Since 2012, V Squared AI has worked with large enterprises to deliver over $3.7 billion in value.

My frameworks are built from working in the trenches. My practitioner-to-strategist journey allows me to bridge the critical gap between technical teams and the boardroom, ensuring that AI initiatives are not only technically sound but commercially viable.

Partners: Dell Pro Max Ambassador & Gartner Ambassador.

Part Time Host

Award-winning LLM whisperer who makes AI solutions that actually work (and won't take over the world... yet). At Dell Technologies, I transform complex AI concepts into business results that make executives say "I finally get it!" and teams say "this saved us 97% of our time!"

When I'm not slashing inference time by 90% with speculative decoding or building multi-agent systems that are smarter than most meetings I've attended, you might find me explaining RAG architectures to C-suite execs using metaphors they actually remember, or helping coral researchers identify 51,000 images/week instead of 13,000/2 months.

Currently pursuing my M.Sc. in Analytics at Georgia Tech while building AI systems that amplify human capabilities rather than replace them. Because let's face it - even the best LLMs still hallucinate their way through a conversation sometimes (unlike me, who only occasionally hallucinate after my third espresso).

Expertise: Advanced RAG architectures, multi-agent orchestration, inference optimization, vector search, LLMOps

Fluent in Python, English, Mandarin, and translating "tech speak" into human language. Also secretly building a perfume recommendation engine because even AI deserves to smell nice.
