CTO, Alterion AI

Welcome!

tl;dr - player/coach leader building AI products and AI-centric engineering teams. Open to engineering leadership, fractional CTO roles, and technical advisory work.

My day-to-day involves wearing many hats. I liaise with customers, investors, regulatory officials, and partners. Every week there is something new in the AI ecosystem, if you're not practicing with hands-on daily application, you're moving too slow. Teams expect leaders that not only guide with vision, but help with the hard execution during crunch time. This is how I show up as a player/coach for my team.

As a PLAYER I ...write the hard code...design the system...guardrail the model...ship it safely...tame the scale...debug under fire.

As a COACH I ... mind the details, close the gaps, and elevate the team.

As a LEADER, I develop high performing teams fueled by a strong commitment to the customer.

Payor Rate Data Platform

Making a regulatory mandate's data actually usable

A data platform that ingests the machine-readable pricing files U.S. health insurers are now required to publish. It collapses them from raw claims-level rates down to a queryable per-provider, per-procedure database, and exposes that database through a chat interface with row-level entitlements.
