Risk it for the biscuit.

There are peacetime CEOs and there are wartime CEOs. You won't necessarily need me when things are up and to the right. When you need someone that's seen around the corner, especially when things are going down or something unexpected shows up, that's where I help most. Below are a few examples, with the details, the results, and how I build teams along the way.

01 · Well-being

Researchers and Product

We set the well-being measure before the build. Dr. Kripa Sundar, PhD, wrote the learning logic model. Dr. L. Yuan Wang, PhD, built the AI that drafts mentor agendas. The NSF seed pitch passed. The AAMC later recognized that AI work in undergraduate medical education. Dr. Cynthia Chaidez, PhD, and the Loyola team took the numbers into a formal IRB. Over five months, 32 medical students used the program, 32 sat in a comparison group, and 16 faculty doctors mentored them.

02 · Devices

Software and hardware

At Innit I worked with Electrolux and BSH on kitchen appliances so people could cook for the food and nutrition they can manage. At Cleu, a personal wake-up ran through a Nest thermostat, lights, a coffee maker, a washer, and a dryer. The morning started on that person's schedule. Apple Watch tracked power naps and sleep against circadian rhythm, for better sleep. AirPods Pro tracks motion for vestibular health, so walking stays steadier and posture holds through a workday.

Technical range

In January 2026 I moved the DistrictZero front end from Create React App to Next.js and onto Vercel. I paired with Vercel Chief Product Officer Tom Occhino on legacy libraries, DNS, and environment variables. The front end shipped to production. Twelve rules from that work went into the public cra-to-next-migration skill. It has passed 800 installs. I hold college interns and high school computer science students in Naperville District 203 CTE to that same technical bar.

How we work

Instrument, evaluate, deploy

  1. 01

    Instrument

    Pick the outcome measure before build work begins.

  2. 02

    Evaluate

    Review results against that measure, and state what the sample can support.

  3. 03

    Deploy

    The work goes into systems already in use. Leaders and students keep the same technical bar.

Ways of working

Pair, Pilot, or Embed.

Pair is ninety minutes with you or one teammate. You take the asset back. Pilot and Embed are direct work with the team. On-site travel and any short-term work visa are quoted before anyone books a flight.

This week

Pair

Ninety minutes with you, or with one person you send. We produce the asset in the room: code, a presentation, a growth board, a roadmap, or the decision itself. Your current team takes it from there.
