Current Projects

These projects show my current work at the intersection of data leadership, AI systems, analytics products, and practical decision tools. Some are live applications you can use directly in the browser; others are technical writeups and agent experiments.

I focus on projects with a clear business question, a working product, and a technical system underneath it that can be explained, extended, and improved.
