ABOUT THE FOUNDER
15 Years in the Trenches.
Now Building the Future.
I\'ve spent over 15 years in systems engineering at leading companies, building complex systems that actually work. Now I help businesses apply that same disciplined thinking to AI transformation.
MY STORY
From Systems Engineering to AI Transformation
Here\'s the truth most AI consultants won\'t tell you: Building reliable systems is boring. It requires measurement, documentation, structured thinking, and disciplined execution. No shortcuts. No magic.
I learned this the hard way over 15 years in systems engineering. Building software for regulated industries — where failures have real consequences — teaches you to think rigorously. You can\'t ship hope. You need process maturity, traceability, and validation.
When everyone started hyping AI, I noticed something: the same companies struggling with basic process documentation were rushing to deploy AI agents. It was obvious chaos. AI won\'t fix broken processes. It will just automate the chaos faster.
ShiftNorth was born from a simple insight: The same structured thinking that builds complex systems can transform any business process. The M.A.P.S. methodology — Measure, Analyze, Prototype, Scale — is just good engineering applied to AI transformation.
No vendor lock-in. No generic frameworks. Just disciplined execution that delivers results. That\'s what 15 years in the trenches teaches you.
