I like building from scratch. Most days I am in Snowflake and Python getting LLM agents to do useful work.

• Built Canary AI, an appointment forecasting dashboard AutoNation stores use to plan their after sales week. Lifted the business 2% in customer pay.
• Built Pit Crew AI, a ChatGPT / Claude clone built specifically for AutoNation After Sales. Answers that used to take days now take seconds, backed by 50+ semantic models and thousands of queries.
• Shaped $500M+ investment decisions and managed a $1.4B budget at Volkswagen
• Pitched an incentive management tool that won a $6M investment and saved $50M in its first year
• Led a team of six financial analysts and a data scientist. Presented to the board on decisions worth $3B+ in profit.
• Coded Volkswagen’s first real time sales and distribution app. Still in production a decade later. It won me a trip to the 2014 World Cup in Rio.
