My AI Journey

My AI Journey

AI Tech Leadership Career

I've been working with AI for years — MIT certification, led an AI proof-of-concept with IBM, organized AI developer training with Troy Kelley at e-gineering (thanks for that kickstart, Troy!), started internal AI user groups, and have been using AI coding tools for several years.

But even I'm surprised by how fast things are moving.

After 25 years in IT leadership, I recently stepped away from my corporate role. For the first time, I have the space and freedom to go deeper — not just use AI, but understand where it's heading.

I'm starting this series to share what I'm learning:

  • Technical insights (what actually works, what's hype)
  • Societal impact (how AI changes work, jobs, and decisions)
  • Practical applications (tools I'm using daily)

If you're curious about AI but don't have hours to research — follow along. I'll do the digging and share what matters.

What's one thing about AI you wish you understood better?
