    Bio

    I build AI systems, then teach what I've learned building them. My career spans the infrastructure layer of AI: I helped architect BloombergGPT, drove significant AI revenue as an AWS Principal, and worked at Cerebras Systems on next-generation compute. Today, as CEO of AI Guru, I run a venture studio with 50,000+ product users and products spanning industrial AI, voice agents, and AI-powered learning tools. I've trained 60,000+ professionals across every function that AI is reshaping — engineering, risk management, strategy, human resources, operations, and the C-suite. The common thread: I teach AI as a practitioner, not a commentator. Every course I build draws from systems I've actually shipped. My teaching covers the full spectrum — from hands-on technical work with open-source models, prompt engineering, agentic AI to domain-specific AI applications for business functions, to strategic AI governance for boards and executive leadership. Whether you're deploying your first model or presenting an AI roadmap to your board, I design courses to close the gap between understanding AI and actually using it.
