For as long as I can remember, I've been building things. Websites, businesses, products, experiments. If an idea feels possible, I usually want to find out whether I can make it real.
I've never been a one-track person. My background runs through small business ownership, corrections, customer-facing and gig work, AI evaluation and task design, and product building. Today I'm pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at Yavapai College while building and shipping products with AI-assisted development workflows.
My AI work includes evaluating model outputs, designing and refining tasks and rubrics, analyzing failure modes, and structured QA across reasoning, coding, and artifact-based work.
I know enough code to get my hands dirty, and I'm actively learning more. My strongest skill is taking an idea from "what if?" to something that works by combining product strategy, UX, systems thinking, testing, troubleshooting, experimentation, and effective use of AI. The range is a feature, not a bug.
The Nickname:
"Dr. Mixer" has followed me since I was 19. My wife's oldest daughter couldn't quite say my last name, combined it with the "Dr." title she kept hearing at church, and it stuck. Twenty-plus years later, here we are.
