Michael’s AI Automation & Agents Qualifications

Experience level: Executive

Michael has helped clients get into these companies:

I use AI automations and agents in real operating environments, not just as demos. As a founder, I’ve built and used agent-style workflows to support parts of my businesses, including research, analysis, internal tooling, and process automation. I’ve also helped startups and small businesses build ETL jobs, custom tools, and AI-enabled workflows, so I understand how to connect LLMs to actual business processes in a way that is useful, reliable, and worth the effort. My background sits at the intersection of product, data, and technical execution. I’ve worked on cloud-based architecture, data pipelines, NLP, LLM API-driven analysis, and custom workflow design, and I know how to translate messy business needs into practical automations. I can help clients think through where agents actually create value, how to design and scope them properly, what should stay human-in-the-loop, and how to build systems that are more than just prompt wrappers. Whether you’re trying to automate work inside a business, build your first agent-driven workflow, or get smarter about the AI automation landscape, I can help.

About Michael

I walked out of my Centerview superday knowing I had the offer — not because I was the smartest candidate, but because I had figured out what actually mattered in the room. That became the foundation for everything I've built since. I led UChicago's Investment Banking Group as Technical Lead and helped dozens of candidates land offers before founding OFFERGOBLIN, the adaptive prep platform with 5,000+ verified interview questions from every major bank. I wrote the industry's open-access textbook on IB technicals. My full-time job — my only job — is figuring out what gets people offers and building systems around it.

Why do I coach?

Most coaches fit sessions in between deal work or their day job. This is all I do. No busy season. No distractions. I've seen every failure mode, I know exactly where the bar is, and my only focus is getting you over it.
