If you're a PM or engineer trying to move into AI product work or you're already there and shipping into a large organization that wasn't built for it, I can help. I led AI at EdPlus at Arizona State University, where I've built and shipped conversational AI tools and agent-based systems used at university scale.

Most AI mentors can explain the models. Fewer have shipped one past legal, procurement, a skeptical VP, and a real support burden. That's the gap I work in: taking an LLM demo that impresses people in a meeting and turning it into something that survives contact with users, budgets, and institutional constraints. I've spent 13+ years in product and 4+ years in AI specifically, and I've hired and interviewed for these roles.

In our mentorship, we'll start by getting specific about where you actually are, a portfolio and resume that don't yet say "AI product person," a first agentic project you're stuck architecting, or a promotion case you need to make. From there we'll work on a concrete artifact each month rather than talking in the abstract: a shipped prototype, a rewritten positioning story, a mock interview loop, or a roadmap you can defend.

I'll be direct with you about what's working and what isn't. Expect messages answered within a day and a call structure we set together in week one.
