Entrepreneurial technologist bridging AI systems, emerging tech, and intellectual property. I build ventures, author patents, and ship AI agents that solve real industry problems.
// who i am
I'm an entrepreneurial technologist based in Winona, MO with a rare blend of skills across emerging tech, business strategy, and intellectual property. I don't just advise on technology — I build it, patent it, and bring it to market.
My career spans co-developing Walmart's UAV program with first-to-file patents, building IoT cybersecurity frameworks, and now shipping AI agent systems for industry-specific automation.
I operate with a start-up mindset — moving fast, connecting technology with market needs, and turning ideas into deployable products. My current focus is AI solutions for real-world business workflows.
// where i've been
Building and testing AI solutions — evaluating, deploying, and iterating on AI systems to solve real-world problems across industries.
Consulting in strategic planning, business development, and technology-driven solutions. Help clients streamline operations and leverage AI, emerging tech, and IP expertise for measurable results.
Developed a 5-year strategic plan targeting $10B revenue growth. Built IoT cybersecurity frameworks, researched crypto-jacking prevention, and supported STEM initiatives across 4 school districts.
Led patent strategy and authored applications for Walmart's UAV drone program — securing first-to-file patents. Collaborated with NASA, DARPA, and FAA on unmanned aircraft systems and guided enterprise technology solution design.
// what i've built
// intellectual property
Named inventor on 7 granted US patents and 24 published applications, all assigned to Walmart Apollo LLC. Work spans autonomous drone systems, UAV delivery infrastructure, virtual/augmented retail, and autonomous vehicle ecosystems — authored during my IP consulting engagement with Walmart (2015–2018).
