Local AI & Security Expertise

I started building neural networks in 1998 and have spent nearly three decades implementing AI for companies that can't afford mistakes. I've built systems processing millions of healthcare records, automating SOC2 compliance for financial platforms, and deploying production machine learning models. My focus is clean data, smart architecture, and security-first design. Track record: $2 billion in transactions processed with zero security breaches.

I build retrieval augmented generation pipelines giving LLMs access to private data without external leaks, architect cloud environments that pass HIPAA audits first try, and implement FinOps strategies cutting costs 40% without sacrificing performance. Every technique comes from solving real problems: debugging RAG systems, locking down AWS environments leaking PHI, and rebuilding CI/CD pipelines hemorrhaging money. Find the root cause, fix it properly, document it.

I'm working in Irving now serving the healthcare corridor. With Baylor Scott & White, Christus Health, and multiple medical centers here, companies need HIPAA compliant AI handling sensitive patient data without regulatory nightmares. Being local means on-site availability, face-to-face collaboration, and quick response when issues surface. No timezone juggling or remote consultant unfamiliar with your context.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Irving different from Dallas or Fort Worth for AI consulting?

Irving sits in the middle of the DFW healthcare corridor with more hospital systems per square mile than almost anywhere in Texas. Local healthcare companies need AI consultants understanding HIPAA compliance, PHI protection, and medical data workflows. I've built those systems and I'm working in Irving now, so there's no learning curve about local regulatory environment or business context.

Can you work on site or do you only work remotely?

I work on site regularly. Currently in Irving for projects, so meetings, architecture sessions, or hands-on work is easy. Some tasks work better remotely like late-night deployments, but I'm available locally for face-to-face collaboration. No flights, no hotel expenses.

Do you work with mid market companies or only large enterprises?

Both. Some of my best projects have been with mid-market companies needing enterprise-grade AI and security without Big Four consulting costs. You get the same quality work and experience without the consulting bureaucracy overhead. Whether you're a 50-person healthcare startup or 500-person financial firm, I scale to fit your size and budget.

How quickly can you start on a new project?

Being local in Irving means I can usually meet within a few days to scope needs and timeline. For urgent security issues or compliance deadlines, I often start immediately. For larger AI implementations, we map realistic timelines based on priorities and availability. No weeks-long wait for remote consultants to clear calendars.

What kind of healthcare AI projects do you typically handle?

I build AI systems working with protected health information without HIPAA violations. This includes RAG pipelines letting doctors query patient records in natural language, machine learning flagging billing anomalies or predicting readmissions, and automated compliance tools monitoring PHI access. I also help evaluate AI vendors to ensure proposed solutions won't create regulatory or security problems.
