Skin in the Game
As a father and single parent of a pre-teen and a teenager, and as a veteran of the tech industry, I’ve spent nine years protecting my own children from digital harm.
I am determined to use what I know and what I’ve accomplished and let AI vendors roll out toxic apps that could harm my kids or their friends!
Now, I’m building AI tools to help entrepreneurs and companies develop AI responsibly from the ground up.
But I need further investment to accomplish every parent’s goals for safe and trustworthy AI.
I understand firsthand the challenges parents face in this new AI-powered world. But I also bring unique expertise to solve this crisis.
As a former programmer, IT auditor at PwC, and global organizational transformation consultant for companies around the world, I’ve seen how technology can either empower or endanger depending on how it’s developed and deployed.
I am also an entrepreneur with a successful track record in building systems integration, technology content marketing, and international market entry businesses. A Big Four consultancy even bought out my systems integration business some time ago.
I developed the REAP|Change™ AI Safety Platform to provide a comprehensive suite of AI safety assessment and governance tools to AI startups and AI development teams.
Powered by OpenAI-4o(mini), the REAP|Change™ AI Safety Tools work at the business culture level.
It’s the culture of the AI shop that incubates the AI apps. REAP|Change™ AI Tools provide the most low-cost and effective way to reduce the expense of trust and safety testing by assuring the alignment of developer values and intentions with AI results.
Without alignment, startups spend an exorbitant amount of money and time patching and re-testing applications AFTER they are let out into the wild.
AI development and testing then become Games of Whack a Mole!
The REAP|Change platform is designed with AI innovators in mind. Whether you’re a solo developer or leading a startup team, our tools help you:
✅ Lower risk exposure by embedding A.I. Trust and Safety into A.I. development – BEFORE costly deployment mishaps
✅ Protect brand value by demonstrating authentic commitment to responsible A.I. for customers and investors
✅ Reduce costly A.I. implementation failures by ensuring business Alignment with A.I. objectives
✅ Create competitive advantage through enhanced A.I. user innovation and productivity.
With your support, we can strengthen these tools and make them available to more AI startups and development teams.
