Work

AI tools and training I’ve built.

For workplaces where getting it right mattered.

AI builds

AI tools built so a person approves the result

AI build · Course production

A tool for drafting training courses

It starts from sourced research and drafts an eight-module course. Anything it can’t verify is flagged, and a person approves each lesson before it’s used.

AI build · Private by design

A speech assistant that runs entirely on the computer

It listens and matches what it hears to a set of approved answers. When it isn’t sure, it says so, and no audio or text ever leaves the machine.

AI build · Oʻahu

A neighborhood guide for Oʻahu

It answers only from the Census and local market figures supplied with each question, so it can’t make numbers up.

Training

Training I’ve designed

Portfolio projects, each with a case study and the training itself to try.

Case study · Workplace safety · Hawaiʻi

Property crew safety training
