## SUMMARY
**I’m a technical problem solver who can take an ambiguous business problem, work directly with stakeholders, design the architecture, build the frontend and backend, integrate the customer’s existing systems, and get the solution deployed.**

Proof: a **90-day forward-deployed engagement for a commercial earth mover** (heavy-civil construction and earth-moving). Embedded with the Director of Construction Technology and executive leadership. Deployed ChatGPT Enterprise and Claude Enterprise company-wide, shipped **14 live production applications**, and identified **$70K/year vendor overspend in the first 30 days**.

**20+ years of Fortune 500 delivery** (Eli Lilly, Humana, Southwire, Simon Property Group, State of Indiana). SAFe 5.1 certified. US Army Top Secret clearance background. US citizen. Founded AgentHive Inc. in February 2025; **70+ production AI applications** shipped since — supporting proof of build velocity, not the lead. Claude, GPT, and Gemini in production.
