I’m a program manager with experience in learning technology, product design, and enterprise IT. At Ehoro Village, I develop AI-supported workflows, support team adoption, and use learner data to guide improvements. My work combines practical implementation, clear documentation, and human review.

01 Featured case study

AI course production at Ehoro Village.

The clearest example of what I do: take a process that already exists, build the AI-supported version, train the team and document it, then measure the result.

Bottleneck
Building a course took about three weeks.
My role
I translated the existing course-production process into a structured, AI-supported workflow in Claude Code, used across multiple instructional teams. AI speeds up scripting, voiceover and asset production.
Adoption
I drove adoption with the instructional design team: training, plus the guides, tip sheets, FAQs and support documentation the teams use to run the workflow.
Result
Course-creation time fell from about three weeks to 4–7 days, 66–80% faster, for courses reaching 200+ students.

02 Experience

Where I learned to run programs.

Program management came first. AI made it faster; it didn't replace it.

03 Lanes

One operator, four lanes.

Pick the lane you're hiring for. The proof is the same work, seen from a different side.

I help teams adopt AI workflows they keep using: the workflow itself, the training and onboarding, the documentation, and the review step. Change management, not just tools.

For AI enablement, AI adoption, change management, technical education and customer education roles.

  • 3 wks → 4–7 days course production after moving it into an AI-supported workflow
  • 20+ internal champions trained in hands-on workshops
  • Docs guides, tip sheets and FAQs teams use to run the workflow

04 Work

Selected work.

Learning design and independent builds that show the technical side. Open any row.

I designed, facilitated and evaluated a 75-minute workshop built on one framework: Frame → Generate → Audit → Log. In a two-person pilot, both participants caught more planted flaws with the audit checklist than without it. Evaluated at Kirkpatrick levels 1–3; level 4 wasn't measurable at pilot size.

Built for faculty. An instructor pastes an assignment and rubric; three agents attempt it the way students commonly use AI, and an advisor agent writes a vulnerability report with specific revisions. Status: functional prototype.

05 The lab

How I run AI agents.

Outside client work, I run small teams of AI models on real builds. In plain terms: one model decides, one plans, others build and test, and I approve. It runs on the habits I bring to teams: decision logs, review gates, written handoffs and a budget.

An octopus keeps about two-thirds of its neurons in its arms. Each arm works on its own; the head sets the intent. That's how I run AI agents.One owner of intent. Many arms that think. A written rule for when they disagree.

What broke, and the rule that came out of it

L-01

Runs stop themselves

A script reads the real usage meter and stops each run before the limit. Each platform works its own lane, with one commit per finished ticket.

before6.9K
after2.4K
−65%tokens on the shared board every agent reads

Five agents coordinating through claims and heartbeats used 98% of a 5-hour usage window in one night.

L-02

Evidence over status

Reports lead with failures and attach evidence. I check the work, not the summary.

3understated reports caught by checking the work itself

The planning agent's status reports understated problems three separate times.

L-03

Rule from the source

A check-first gate asks “already written or already ruled?” before anything reaches the decision-maker, and rulings cite their source.

1 → gateone withdrawn ruling led to a check-first gate

A design ruling made from memory instead of the written source had to be withdrawn.

L-04

Ask the human first

The queue asks me first, and a ping budget caps interruptions at three a week.

10 minquestion list that unblocked a full night's held work

Agents drafted all night while the work waited on five answers only I could give.

Field notes by modelClaude · ChatGPT · Gemini · DeepSeek
Judgment · rulings · merges

Claude

Best at careful judgment and clean merges, so it held the rulings and the only merge key. It also ruled from memory once, and the ruling had to be withdrawn.

Rule nowCite the source before ruling. One model merges; the others propose.

Planning · long runs

ChatGPT + Codex

A tireless planner and runner. Its status reports understated problems three times, and a five-agent run burned 98% of a 5-hour window in one night.

Rule nowEvidence over status. One session per lane, and every run stops on the meter.

Testing · research · documents

Gemini + Antigravity

A strong second opinion. It ran the smoke tests on finished pieces, and handled research and longer documents in long solo runs.

Rule nowDon't let the builder test its own work. Give testing to a different model.

Wide research, low cost

DeepSeek

Fast and cheap for breadth: market scans, source checks and research briefs. It ran a full shift until it hit the meter line.

Rule nowSpend expensive models on judgment and cheap ones on breadth. Research arrives as a brief; another agent commits it.

06 About

“I design like sushi: few high-quality ingredients, applied in a way that makes sense.”

I came to AI through learning design and program management, and I still work that way. AI speeds up the scripting, the code and the busywork; people make the calls. The method on this page grew out of a playbook I wrote across 24+ AI build sessions.

Fun fact: I make beats, and I'm allergic to carrots.

07 Contact
