About
I'm a professional AI coach, an NVIDIA DLI Certified Instructor for Building Agentic AI Applications with LLMs, and a DLI University Ambassador. I also have an MBA, teach computer science, and research AI. I like helping people understand what an AI system is actually doing, not just which tool to click. My work spans machine learning, computer vision, LLMs, and model evaluation. I lead DataGovAI, a multi-agent RAG project for government records retention with the Utah Office of Data Privacy. My Ph.D. research focused on evaluating synthetic images. Preparing for an AI interview? Bring the job description and what you've worked on so far. We can work through LLMs, retrieval, agents, and evaluation, then practice explaining the choices behind a design. Building something? Bring your code or prototype, and we'll tackle a specific problem together. I tailor each session to your starting point and give you concrete next steps.
Why do I coach?
I enjoy the moment when a confusing idea starts to make sense. My goal is to help you ask better questions, test your assumptions, and make technical decisions independently. I combine research depth with patient explanation and practical examples, so you can keep learning after our session ends.
