I'm Shaun. I build small, sharp software for people who'd rather have the thing than the meeting about it. Chief AI Solution Officer at Think Technologies, and a one-person studio on the side. Agents, harnesses, and the glue that makes them useful when there's a P&L attached. Based in Detroit.
Mechanical engineer by training. HVAC and strategy ops at Carrier and LCP in Singapore. Then Monitor Deloitte's MBA program, NUS MBA, Yale MAM (STEM). Pivoted to AI systems in 2023. Now I ship production AI for SMB and enterprise — mostly the unglamorous parts: capture, triage, evals, the harness that keeps a small model honest on a real workload.
