EB-1 Green Card holder | No sponsorship required
I bring AI into design and R&D teams as working tools, not pilots that stall.
I automate research, strategy and documentation with agentic workflows and executive decision support.
I design physical-digital products: IoT, robotics and embedded AI that sense, learn and act.
I lead adoption as change management, so teams actually use what gets deployed.

AI Adoption
SensAIAI engine for innovation & governance
A multi-agent platform I founded to reduce uncertainty before investment. It runs research synthesis, foresight and opportunity assessment, scores and prioritizes ideas, and supports stage-gate decisions with a traceable rationale. Predicta is its native AI server. 50+ opportunities pre-validated before investment.
Agent Co-CreationEmerging Technologies Adoption
1Design Augmentation: MCP & APIs for Rhino, Vizcom, Figma and other design workflows
