I came to AI as a skeptic. When it first hit the mainstream in 2022, while I was wrapping up my master's, I was unimpressed. The outputs weren't good enough for the work I needed, so I dismissed it. That softened a bit in consulting, where I started to see real value even in limited internal tools. The real shift came in early 2026, when AI went from a curiosity to something I use every single day. It changed how I work. That arc is exactly why I'm useful as a coach. I'm not a hype person, and I didn't land here by accident. I know where these tools actually make you faster, where they open up problems you couldn't solve before, and just as importantly, where they fall short and the human still has to lead. I can help you cut the noise, build automations and agents that hold up, and develop the judgment to know when to trust the machine and when not to.
