Summary of Experience

Founder of AISmallBIZ.org Free website that give Small Business the edge in A.I. – Over a 30-year career, I have combined AI engineering, predictive and prescriptive analytics, and decision intelligence to solve problems most organizations do not yet know how to frame. At the NYC Mayor's Office, I built solutions that saved over $200M per year and reduced crime by approximately 27%, by thinking differently about people, data, and systems.
Professional Goals & Objectives

My goal is to deepen my work at the intersection of blockchain, AI, and public benefit, particularly on the Internet Computer, where I build decentralized, data-sovereign tools through AISmallBIZ.org. I am especially interested in how autonomous AI agents will choose decentralized infrastructure over legacy cloud, and in connecting with practitioners working on identity, records management, and civic service delivery at scale. I am currently writing a book on the future of AI and decentralized infrastructure, and I am eager to exchange ideas with others in the GBA community who are thinking seriously about where this technology is heading. I am also open to speaking opportunities on AI, decentralized systems, and how small businesses and governments can adopt them without being locked in by big tech.
