I build AI products for people doing work that matters.
Twenty years in food systems and public policy. Now I build software that makes expert-level work accessible to the organizations that need it most.

Policy wonk turned
AI founder.
I spent twenty years in the trenches of food systems and social services — administering SNAP in Colorado, running a food systems nonprofit, and learning exactly where the system breaks down for the people it's supposed to serve.
Now I build AI products through Ex Machina Solutions — turning two decades of field experience into software that makes expert-level work accessible.
I believe the best technology starts with understanding the problem — not the code.
