    I currently lead AI solutions inside the learning org of a large business&#x2F;accounting SaaS company. In practice I&#x27;m the person who takes an ambiguous &quot;could AI do this?&quot; and comes back with either a working prototype or a defensible reason not to build one.

    Before this: eight years designing learning experiences, 14 years as a Canadian Forces communications systems tech, and sysadmin&#x2F;service work.

    Looking for: product or solutions roles in learning technology — LXP&#x2F;LMS vendors, ed-tech, or in-house enablement teams that want someone who can build the thing and also step through the procurement, legal, and security compliance requirements when sensitive data is involved.
