Systems Producer using analogue experience and AI fluency to build and refine systems that work better for the people who use them.
My mix of entertainment, nonprofit, and civic work lets me see a system from many sides. I’m building tools that help people weigh a job against real life, and practical approaches to AI that earn public trust through clear decisions, human judgment, and accountability.
We talk about the divide as though everyone is standing at the same starting line, waiting for an AI account. But do they have a reliable device, internet access, transportation, time to learn, and somewhere to ask for help? Can they reach the job we’re celebrating? Can a small nonprofit afford the staff time to check the work its new AI subscription produces? My work is moving toward building digital and social infrastructure nobody will even think about in 40 years, like the way we don’t think of the plumbing below us today, until it breaks.
My goal is to help people upstream: before applying, before making the purchase. I’ve built a working prototype for a workforce application individual workers could use in Tarrant County. This app, GateForce85, lets job seekers score opportunities against their real-life constraints before applying. It scores postings, never people. I’m looking for assistance with a pilot field test. I’ve also built jobnutritionlabel.com, which separates real requirements from filler in job postings.
I also want to help small businesses and nonprofits that cannot afford enterprise AI to better implement and govern AI without being at the mercy of a single vendor.
Some call this prompt engineering, AI governance, LLM evaluation, or workflow architecture. I consider myself a Systems Producer because the job is bringing an organization’s people, operations, and AI together. I used to produce promos, then a live event, and now work systems: I build workflow, governance, and AI-use structures that keep decisions with the people who know the work.

I am looking for three to five workforce advisors for a two-week calibration lab on synthetic cases to successfully move forward with a test group of people. Message me on LinkedIn.
I advocate for kids and the four-recess day in public schools. We as a society need to bring unstructured play and real recess back into all public schools. Fort Worth has amazing people helping our kids, but so many fixes are downstream. It is time to acknowledge that the regular public school day is badly designed for children to regulate their bodies and minds to effectively learn.
