I build the systems behind how anyone solves problems.

Interesting people are the best part of this. Say hi.

§ 02How AI fitsSheet 02 / 05

Four levels where AI changes an organization.

Most problems show up at one level but are caused at another. I start by finding which level a problem actually lives at, then build there. Each level links to the work below that sits at it.

  1. How the organization runs

    Operating models and decision rights: who decides what, and which decisions a system can carry so people don’t have to.

  2. How work moves

    The handoffs between people and AI: where judgment is needed, and where volume can be absorbed without anyone touching it.

  3. How things get built

    Engineering and product processes rebuilt around AI, so more people can build and fewer steps wait on a specialist.

  4. What gets built

    Products that only exist because AI does.

Cylerity

A fintech-healthcare company that underwrites insurance claims and advances cash to healthcare providers, so they aren't waiting weeks to get paid.

Inside Cylerity
SYS.01 L.04

Claims underwriting

Turns a weeks-long claims cycle into same-day funding decisions. Risk and compliance run in parallel, and providers see what was approved and why.

Backs an eight-figure lending facility
SYS.02 L.02L.03

Engineering intake

Anyone in the company drops an idea into a shared Claude project. A conversation draws out what's needed and classifies it as an idea, tracked, or a scope, ready to build.

Earlier

The first products I built with AI, from the release of GPT-4 onward.

SYS.05 L.04

Univise

Built a university advising system that spread across campus through word of mouth. No marketing, no push, just a product that solved a daily problem.

Best pitch at Transcend
SYS.06 L.02

SmartBenAI

Automated claims data extraction for healthcare TPAs while keeping humans in the loop where compliance demands it.

Compliance-first automation
SYS.07 L.04

UMN Discovery Launchpad

Replaced ad-hoc startup mentorship with a system that structures what each founder has already done, so the right people can help without relearning it.

Notes on where this is going.

Once, for Good

Solving the same problem twice never sat right with me. Here’s what AI changed about that.

This Is Bigger Than Electricity

My attempt, after years of failing to find the right words, to finally explain what AI means for everyone — not the technology, but what's already changing in the world around you, right now, while most people are going about their lives.

The Quiet Singularity

An observational analysis of three concurrent developments in artificial intelligence — recursive model self-improvement, the commoditization of frontier-class inference, and the compounding automation of cognitive labor — and their implications for institutions designed around assumptions of scarcity.

MVP → eight-figure lending facility

The company

A fintech-healthcare company that underwrites insurance claims and advances cash to healthcare providers, so they aren't waiting weeks to get paid.

The problem space

Providers can wait weeks for a claim to pay out. Advancing that cash means every funding decision has to be fast, explainable and compliant. A weeks-long claims cycle has to become a same-day decision without cutting corners on risk.

What I own

When I joined, Cylerity had a standard roadmap and a traditional way of building. I redesigned the operating model. Today everyone in the company uses Claude Code and produces output independently, and everything flows from business-level features down to technical implementation, step by step.

That operating model took the company from MVP to an eight-figure lending facility.

  1. Decision architectureHow funding decisions get made, which ones a system makes on its own, and where a person decides.
  2. Compliance frameworkDesigned so risk and compliance run in parallel with each decision, not after it.
  3. Operating modelRedesigned so everyone in the company uses Claude Code and produces output independently, not just the engineers.
  4. Business-to-technical pipelineA structured path from a business need to something an engineer can build.
