I Build Human-Centered AI Products

I'm a Sr. AI Platform Product Manager and an MS candidate in Human Centered Computing at the University of Nebraska Omaha. My thesis measures AI-driven adaptive scaffolding against a fixed faded schedule of worked examples, and what each does to cognitive load and skill acquisition; the protocol, the instruments, and the multi-agent scaffolding system are built and awaiting IRB approval. I build systems to solve problems and gaps that I see in the world: Ember, SpawnForge, Frets, Player2 Kanban... Ember runs on an OWA (Orchestrator-Worker-Antagonist) architecture: a worker agent produces, an antagonist agent adversarially evaluates the output for authenticity and accuracy and sends it back until it passes, and an orchestrator makes the final call, with each role on the model that suits it. SpawnForge is an AI-native game engine in the browser whose 350 MCP commands sit behind a single command surface, so a person and an AI agent drive the editor through the same code path. I've helped onboard 300+ developers, product managers, and IT staff to AI coding tools, worked with technology leads across 20+ product engineering teams company-wide to shape AI-enablement strategy, and guest lectured at UNO on IoT, cloud infrastructure, and AI adoption.

That work rests on 12+ years at Werner Enterprises, where I progressed through 11 different roles from operations to Sr. Product Manager. In that last role I owned product direction for 13 agile teams and roughly 150 engineers, through a product and UX team of seven who each owned strategy for their own teams. Drive Werner Pro serves 10,000+ drivers daily for scheduling and compensation management. I led the migration of legacy electronic logging devices (ELDs) across 8,000+ tractors to a cloud-integrated Platform Science system, replacing aging infrastructure. I developed a maintenance appointment system that generates $5M+ annual savings by optimizing fleet routing and asset utilization, and Maintenance Connect, a mobile inspection application, eliminated 60,000 sheets of paper annually across technician workflows. My team built the first fleet with direct integrations to all major Class 8 OEMs in the US, and I led technology partnerships with frontier AI and autonomous vehicle companies (Google, Kodiak, Aurora) to shape their product roadmaps and secure exclusive early access to emerging integrations.

I've lived the problems I solve, such as isolated systems, missing context, and speed-bumps to throughput, and I develop leaders: my team members have gone on to take roles like AI Product Manager and Executive Director of Technology, winning awards and earning their own credibility along the way.
