AI & New Ventures MIT Professional Education · 2025–Present
In early 2025, I stepped away from Amazon because I saw what was already here — AI — and what was coming: AI accelerating itself. I didn't want to manage it from the sidelines. I wanted to secure the skills to build with it.
I enrolled in MIT Professional Education and completed three rigorous certificate programs:
Applied Generative AI for Digital Transformation — the mechanics of large language models, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation, and how to move from instinct to intention.
Applied Agentic AI for Organizational Transformation — multi-agent systems, autonomous workflows, and AI that acts across tools and APIs without being prompted at every step.
Designing and Building AI Products and Services — how to build AI-powered products that people actually trust. Evaluation frameworks, responsible design, and the gap between a prototype and something that ships.
As part of my studies, I've been designing and prototyping Conductor — a SaaS platform that replicates every service a record label provides an artist and puts it all under their own control. Distribution. Royalties. Sync licensing. Booking. Fan engagement. Legal. One dashboard, built for independent artists who are done waiting for permission.
I'm open to senior leadership roles in content strategy, creative direction, and content operations — especially where AI, storytelling, and scaled systems meet.
