Senior AI Strategy Consultant | Artificial Intelligence Integrationist | Automation Architect
Specialist in Institutional AI Transition, Governance, and Inclusive Workforce Enablement
Visionary AI Strategist and Doctor of Divinity with over 15 years of experience at the intersection of educational leadership, technical architecture, and administrative automation. Expert in bridging legacy institutional infrastructure with state-of-the-art Generative Intelligence. Proven track record architecting autonomous AI ecosystems (Syprian/RoboParaPro) and district-level integration platforms (Pioneer AI) with a core focus on ethical governance, FERPA/HIPAA compliance, and inclusive pedagogy. Currently serving as a Fractional Chief AI Officer (CAIO), helping organizations achieve “AI Longevity” through internal talent development rather than external black-box dependencies.
Core Values & Philosophy
Technical Autonomy
Organizations should own their intelligence, not rent it.
Strategic Longevity
Building for decades, not for the next hype cycle.
Inclusive Pedagogy
AI as an equalizer for accessibility and equity.
Core Expertise
Strategic AI Integration
Fractional Chief AI Officer (CAIO) leadership, AI Readiness Audits, and 3-5 year roadmap development for enterprise and K-12.
Agentic Workflows & Orchestration
Designing autonomous “Computer Use” protocols, RAG architectures, and multi-model routing (Gemini, Claude, GPT-4).
Data Governance & Ethics
FERPA/HIPAA alignment, bias remediation in LLM outputs, and privacy-first data minimization protocols.
Full-Stack Automation
Orchestrating cloud-to-local pipelines via Cloudflare Zero Trust, Dockerized microservices, and Nginx reverse proxies.
Workforce Enablement
Curriculum design for “Technical AI Mastery” and instructional coaching for C-suite and senior leadership.

Signature Projects & Architectures
VPS INFRASTRUCTURE
Syprian AI Ecosystem
High-Availability Infrastructure
- Architected a multi-service VPS ecosystem (195.110.59.124) hosting secure instances of LibreChat (OpenClaw), Syprian Intelligence, and automated trading engines.
- Implemented a robust Zero Trust gateway using Cloudflare Tunnels to bypass restrictive institutional firewalls, enabling persistent remote access to internal AI services.
- Engineered the “Syprian industries API” to serve as a manifest-driven intelligence layer for specialized sector-specific bots.
MOBILE APP
Robo Para-Pro
Mobile Educator Platform
- Developed a React Native mobile application (v1.4.0) designed to provide real-time instructional support for paraprofessionals and teachers.
- Integrated a “Wizard-Themed” intuitive UI with a focus on static, high-accessibility layouts for high-pressure classroom environments.
- Established a subscription-based Handshake (HNS) TLD portal (.teacher, .study) for decentralized identity verification.
SIS INTEGRATION
Pioneer AI
District SIS Integration Platform
- Designed a modular district-level AI orchestration portal that connects to legacy Student Information Systems (SIS) via OneRoster and REST adapters.
- Solved the “PII Barrier” by implementing a zero-knowledge data-syncing layer that provides predictive student analytics without exposing sensitive records.
PEDAGOGICAL FRAMEWORK
The 4RO Method
Pedagogical Framework for AI
- Developed a proprietary 5-stage framework (The 4RO Method) for ethical AI orchestration in K-12 and Higher Education.
- Deployed this framework as the backbone of district-wide Professional Development, moving staff beyond “Prompt Engineering” into structured “Agentic Reasoning.”
- Utilized by Michigan school districts to establish data-sovereign classroom support and inclusive, bias-remediated student outcomes.
STUDENT TELEMETRY
RoboTrack
Student Telemetry & FERPA Anonymity Infrastructure
- Engineered a secure, React-based dashboard for Harper Woods Robotics (FRC Team 9212 | 5239) to track student engagement, mission completion, and competition readiness.
- Architected a full FERPA-compliant anonymity flow, decoupling real student identities from public-facing interfaces by forcing mandatory “Secret Codename” registration via Google OAuth.
- Integrated dynamic data visualization for coach telemetry while strictly preventing PII leakage across live kiosks and leaderboards.
NATIONAL SCALE
US Public Schools
RoboTrack National Expansion
- Architected a nationwide, state-standard-aligned educational platform across core subjects (English, Math, Social Studies, and Science) to provide differentiated grading and actionable suggestions via AI.
- Deployed a multi-domain infrastructure strategy (`uspubschools.org` for foundation, `.online` for the software application, and `.com` for news/media) to scale RoboTrack beyond district borders and achieve “AI Longevity” across the United States.
WORKFORCE CERTIFICATION
The DocAIRC Academy
- Founded a technical certification academy offering core credentials in AI Orchestration, Prompt Engineering, Autonomous Tool Usage, and Agentic Platform Usage.
- Transitioned 50+ staff members from “AI-curious” to “AI-proficient” through a structured 8-week mastery curriculum.
