About
I’m an AI engineer in the Ann Arbor / Ypsilanti area. I spent eight years at Global Shop Solutions, working on the enterprise software manufacturing teams use to run their businesses.
My work has taken me from COBOL and VB.NET to C#/.NET interoperability and AI tools for QA and support. I enjoy tracing a complicated problem through a system, talking it through with the people who know it, and making the next change easier to understand.

AI tooling at Global Shop Solutions
QA and support often need to understand a rule buried in a large codebase. I built a read-only tool using Model Context Protocol (MCP) to make COBOL business logic easier to explore, with filters to strip sensitive data.
The QA department, support teams, and colleagues outside the core team used it to investigate how the software behaves. I also helped with an internal AI help desk, training sessions, and demos.
This is a summary of my contribution. Employer source code and internal data are not published here.
Working with QA, support, and module specialists taught me to ask how people actually use a system before changing it.
Modernization means understanding existing behavior, checking regressions, and making changes another engineer can trace.
I use AI to help build and investigate. I care about clear access boundaries, reviewable changes, and evidence that the result works.
I recently moved from Texas to Michigan with my family. Outside work, I’m a dad, a tinkerer, and someone who can turn a small curiosity into an evening of building.
I like electronics, small hardware projects, and figuring out how things fit together. That same curiosity shows up here in the games, browser tools, and experiments alongside my professional experience.
