DigitVibe

Applied AI, put to work

My hands-on software experimentation also informs my work through DigitVibe, the applied AI consultancy I founded. DigitVibe brings that builder's perspective to organizational problems, including situations where an agent, automation or focused custom application is more useful than another strategy document.
