About

I spent 38 years in the US Army as a Field Artillery officer — the last decade of it living and working in Ukraine, teaching at the Odessa Military Academy and monitoring the conflict in Eastern Ukraine for the OSCE.

In 2025 I became the AI-Integrator for a multinational military training team. My job is to make AI operationally useful under real constraints: short timelines, language barriers, high stakes, and no second chances. I design the workflows, build the tools, and hold the process together so the team can move faster without losing judgment.

Available for remote roles beginning Fall 2026.

What I Do

The AI-Integrator role sits at the intersection of three capabilities that are each necessary and none individually sufficient.

Technical Literacy

I know when AI output is plausible but wrong. I constrain, validate, and govern outputs at each stage so speed doesn't displace judgment. AI accelerates the work — I determine what's usable.

Systems Thinking

I see AI-assisted workflows as pipelines, not isolated tasks. Each product depends on the one before it. I design the chain, hold it together through iteration, and make sure nothing downstream breaks when something upstream changes.

Domain & Delivery

AI cannot assess what an organization truly needs or manage the risk of a first attempt. I can. Operational literacy, requirements translation, and the ability to maintain institutional confidence under a one-shot timeline — that's the work AI can't do.

Projects

CADE — Combined Arms Decision Exercise

A consequence-based staff decision exercise built from scratch for Ukrainian officer training — designed, pipelined, and validated in under 8 weeks.

▸ Designed the exercise concept and built the full AI pipeline: scenario → OPORD with annexes → runbook → controller package
▸ Validated on first attempt (29–30 January 2026) with a mixed-language, mixed-experience audience — earned institutional approval for repeat execution
▸ Demonstrated that a single AI-Integrator with the right toolchain can deliver what previously required a full planning team

Deck Builder

AI-powered briefing generator that turns Markdown slide scripts into mission-ready PPTX and HTML briefings.

▸ Eliminated manual slide formatting — planners write content, the pipeline handles production
▸ Supports decision briefs, instruction briefs, and OPORD briefings with brand-standard templates
▸ Includes AI skills for scripting slide content directly from source documents

Orders Production

A Streamlit GUI backed by the Claude API for drafting military planning documents grounded in US Army and NATO doctrine.

▸ Replaced manual OPORD drafting with an AI-assisted pipeline — OPORD Writer, Narrative Writer, and Decision Support Matrix in one tool
▸ Built against US Army doctrine (FM 5-0, FM 6-0) and NATO standards (AJP-5, NATO-COPD) with linting scripts to enforce formatting
▸ Puts professional-grade planning document production within reach of teams without a dedicated plans officer
