// About

Science. Data. Design. AI.

I bring a rare combination of quantitative rigor, financial expertise, project management and software development, and design thinking to AI consulting. With a background spanning astrophysics research at NASA, prime brokerage at Goldman Sachs, foreign exchange at JP Morgan, analytics leadership in consulting, and product development as a founder, I understand how organizations actually work — and where AI can genuinely move the needle.

I help companies cut through the AI hype and implement practical, high-impact solutions in operations, reporting, and data systems.

// Case Studies

01 NY Startup — AI-First Systems & Development

Building AI-First Systems and Front End for a New York-Based Founder

Challenge

A New York-based founder needed to bring a product to life but faced the prospect of a costly traditional buildout — hiring a full engineering team, long development cycles, and significant capital burn before reaching an MVP. They needed a smarter path forward.

Approach
  • Worked directly with the founder to map the AI landscape and identify where AI could replace traditional engineering overhead
  • Designed and built AI-first backend systems that leveraged language models as core infrastructure, not bolt-on features
  • Developed the front end with modern tooling, moving from concept to working product at startup speed
Outcome

The founder launched a functional product at a fraction of the cost of a traditional buildout. AI-first architecture eliminated the need for a large engineering team, saving significant capital while delivering a system built to scale.

02 Private Equity — AI Adoption & Reporting

Advising a Private Equity Portfolio Manager on Integrating Claude into Reporting Systems

Challenge

A private equity portfolio manager wanted to use AI to streamline investor reporting and portfolio monitoring but had no technical foundation for it — and no internal team to evaluate or implement the right approach. The tools existed; the strategy didn't.

Approach
  • Assessed existing reporting workflows and identified highest-leverage integration points for Claude
  • Designed a Claude-powered system to draft LP update narratives from structured portfolio data
  • Built lightweight tooling to flag portfolio anomalies and surface them in plain language for the investment team
Outcome

LP report drafting time cut by over 60%. The portfolio manager gained a clear, actionable AI integration roadmap. The team moved from AI curiosity to confident, daily use of Claude as a core part of their reporting process.

03 Financial Services — Team Training & Adoption

AI Training and Adoption Program for a Financial Services Team

Challenge

A financial services firm had invested in AI tooling but adoption was stalling. Team members were skeptical, unsure how AI fit their specific workflows, and defaulting to old habits. The tools were there — the organizational buy-in wasn't.

Approach
  • Ran a workflow audit across teams to identify where AI could create immediate, visible wins
  • Designed role-specific training sessions — analysts, operations, and leadership each received tailored programming
  • Built internal prompt libraries and reference guides specific to the firm's use cases
  • Established a feedback loop to track adoption and iterate on tooling in real time
Outcome

AI tool usage increased significantly across all teams within 30 days. Skeptics became internal advocates. The firm developed lasting AI literacy — not just familiarity with tools, but the judgment to apply them strategically to new problems.

04 Metropolitan Museum of Art — Data & Cultural Engagement

Making 200,000 Artworks Accessible Through Rap Lyrics

Challenge

The Met's digital archive of 200,000+ works was largely inaccessible to younger audiences — particularly young people from nearby neighborhoods who had never engaged with the museum. The data existed; the entry point didn't.

Approach
  • Conducted ethnographic research to identify 13 culturally influential rappers
  • Integrated the Rap Genius API and the Met's digital API
  • Used rap lyrics as keyword searches to generate curated, personalized "tours" of the collection
  • Created for the Met Media Lab
Outcome

Demonstrated how combining open cultural datasets with an unexpected interface layer can unlock entirely new audiences. The project launched at rappersdelight.nyc — a model for how institutions with large, underutilized data archives can use API integration to drive discovery and engagement.

05 MIT Media Lab — Data Visualization & Urban Systems

Mapping and Visualizing New York City's Microbiome

Challenge

Cutting-edge microbiome research from the Mason Lab at Weill Cornell was generating rich scientific data about the microbial life of NYC — but it was invisible to the public and locked in academic formats. How do you make complex biological data not just understandable, but viscerally felt?

Approach
  • Led design for a cross-disciplinary collaboration with MIT Media Lab and Weill Cornell
  • Combined DNA sequencing data collected via honeybees with thermal imaging of NYC streets
  • Created web-based 3D rendering tool to create a live data installation — reframing the city as a biological superstructure
Outcome

Presented at the Venice Biennale and featured in Wired and National Geographic. Results contributed to peer-reviewed publications in environmental microbiology. Demonstrated that rigorous scientific data, when designed with intention, can shift public perception at scale.

06 Data X — Privacy & Machine Learning

Making Facebook's Invisible Surveillance Visible

Challenge

How do you show a user that Facebook's continuous profiling is for the purpose of building detailed personality models to target ads to you? Most users had no idea this was happening, let alone what conclusions the platform had drawn about them.

Approach
  • Built a front-end product that mirrored Facebook's own data collection — tracking likes, link clicks, post dwell time, and typed text
  • Integrated IBM Watson Personality Insights and the Apply Magic Sauce ML algorithm to generate real-time personality predictions
Outcome

Over 70,000 installs on the Chrome Web Store. Covered by Vice, Fast Company, Mashable, The Next Web, and Big Think. Nominated for The Index Project award. Sparked mainstream conversation about algorithmic profiling and data rights — demonstrating that technical tools can be powerful instruments of public education.
