For organizations

How I create value

Business problems I help solve — drawing on delivery leadership, statistics, research, and teaching.

AI Adoption & Transformation

Helping teams move from scattered AI experiments to disciplined workflows, use cases, governance, and adoption.

Analytics & Decision-Making

Using statistics, machine learning, and business analytics to improve decisions, explain tradeoffs, and create practical insight.

Process & Operations Improvement

Applying operations, systems thinking, and technology delivery experience to improve workflows, quality, capacity, and execution.

Capability Building & Training

Designing learning experiences, workshops, and tools that help people actually change how they work.

Why this combination matters

Many organizations have AI tools. Fewer have a clear way to turn those tools into better decisions, better workflows, and stronger teams. My career has moved across technology delivery, consulting, doctoral research, teaching, and tool-building. That combination helps me see both the system and the human behavior inside it.

In short

I teach statistics, analytics, and machine learning at the Richard A. Chaifetz School of Business, where I also direct the One-Year MBA Practicum Projects. Before that I spent seventeen years in technology — delivery, quality, and program leadership at Cognizant, Infosys, and TCS, including a $7M portfolio and organizations of 150+ professionals.

The classroom turned out to be full of problems worth solving. So I build things: oral assessment tools, anonymous question channels, analytics games, AI tutors. Each one starts as a teaching problem, becomes an experiment, and feeds back into research on how AI is changing what learning and assessment can be.

What I do

Six capabilities that keep reinforcing each other

Program leadership shapes how I run experiential courses. Statistics shapes how I think. Teaching surfaces the problems. Technology lets me build the response.

Teaching & Learning Design

Course design, experiential education, analytics instruction, mentoring, and assessment built around application.

AI & Educational Innovation

Generative AI in the classroom, AI-assisted assessment, and learning applications tested with real students.

Innovation & Problem Solving

Finding the real problem, designing an experiment around it, and iterating until something works.

Proof in practice

Built because a class needed it

These projects also show how I approach organizational innovation: find a real problem, build a practical response, test it with users, and improve it.

Research agenda

Three questions I keep returning to

My work on AI and pedagogy organizes around three connected problems.

01

Classroom Engagement

Getting more students genuinely into the room.

02

Student Learning

Designing for understanding, not coverage.

03

Academic Integrity

Redesigning assessment instead of policing it.
