Mechanical Engineer × Systems Thinker × AI Builder

I build AI products that collapse complex systems into something simple enough to ship — from factory floors to regulatory compliance to enterprise ops.

01 / Thesis

Every complex system has a few load-bearing parts and a lot of noise. My job — whether the system is a garment, a parking operation serving 15,000 people, or an EU compliance regime — is to find the parts that matter and build the smallest thing that solves them. I learned that as a mechanical engineer, sharpened it through an M.S. in Information Systems, and now I ship it as AI products.

// FOUNDATION

B.Tech Mechanical Engineering → M.S. Information Systems (Cleveland State, GPA 3.83). CSPO® certified. I think in requirements, trade-offs, and failure modes.

// TRACK RECORD

4+ years across business development, platform operations at CSU, and independent AI product work. A pattern of scoping and shipping things end-to-end.

// RIGHT NOW

GGI Impact Fellow, Cohort 2026. Running an agentic compliance product live in production while targeting AI PM / builder roles at AI-forward teams.

Things I scoped,
built, and shipped.

CASE_01 — COMPLIANCE AUTOMATION LIVE IN PRODUCTION

CBAMbridge

cbambridge.com — agentic AI for EU carbon-border compliance
[ PROBLEM ]

10,000+ exporters, zero affordable tooling

U.S. exporters hit by the EU's CBAM regime had to translate messy supplier PDFs into audit-ready emissions data — by hand.

[ SYSTEM ]

An agentic extraction pipeline

LangGraph orchestration over a RAG layer turns unstructured documents into structured, traceable emissions records with a human in the loop.

[ OUTCOME ]

Built solo, in production

From problem discovery to a live MVP that real exporters can use — owned across product, architecture, and deployment.

Got a hard system
that needs simplifying?

I'm looking for AI Product / Builder roles at teams shipping something ambitious. If that's you, the fastest path is email.
