Fort Worth, Texas · Open to select conversations

Bring me
the hard problem.

Email is best when you already have a concrete opportunity or problem to discuss; LinkedIn is the easiest place to follow my work, introduce yourself, and begin a public professional connection.

I will not pretend every inquiry is a fit; I will be clear when it is, and I will try to leave you with a more useful next step when it is not.

Direct contact

Email

Best for engineering roles, consulting inquiries, partnerships, mentoring, research connections, and investment conversations that already have useful context.

Public professional connection

LinkedIn

Follow what I am building and learning; connect around software engineering, AI systems, servant leadership, electrical engineering, and nanotechnology.

A useful first brief

Five sentences are enough.

  1. What outcome or decision matters?
  2. What makes the problem difficult right now?
  3. What has already been tried or decided?
  4. Who owns the result and who else is involved?
  5. What timing, budget, safety, or organizational constraint cannot be ignored?
Choose the relevant path

Different conversations need different evidence.

Start with the page closest to your question, then reach out with what remains unresolved.

One good conversation

Clarity is a useful first deliverable.

Even when the answer is “not yet,” a well-framed conversation should leave the next decision easier to see.
