That's the conversation I show up for — figuring out the workflow actually worth touching, building the system, and staying through the part where people start using it. Eight years across Big 4 consulting, the U.S. Senate, and independent client work, mostly in messy environments where the stakes are real. --- ## Experience ### Legislative Assistant & AI Operations Lead · U.S. Senate *December 2023 – Present* Lead housing, economic development, tax, and technology policy portfolio — research, stakeholder engagement, briefing memos, and bill drafting for a Colorado senator. Designed and shipped an AI-assisted workflow now processing 3,000+ constituent letters per week and cutting approval turnaround by 90%+. Owned architecture, deployment, staff training, and ongoing fixes end-to-end in a high-ambiguity environment. Built and deployed LegiKit, an AI workflow tool used by 30+ congressional staff across House and Senate offices. Led discovery, definition, development, deployment, onboarding, and adoption — while working full-time on the Hill. Drafted housing policy on property insurance costs, starter-home construction, and eviction prevention. Developed visualizations and executive-ready narratives for Senate hearings, floor speeches, and press moments. ### Founder & Principal · Anchor Data Studio *August 2023 – Present* Lead data and AI implementation engagements for mission-driven clients — scoping use cases, defining where human review is required, and building the systems that ship. For Strategic Capacity Group (international capacity-building org), turned a static spreadsheet into a queryable, distributable stakeholder-intelligence database used to target partners by location, availability, and engagement signals. Built a second SCG pipeline ingesting multi-country survey data, structuring unstructured inputs, and producing executive and external-reporting dashboards — outputs that supported a successful $25M grant. For a cybersecurity client, streamlined data-management workflows using Power BI, Power Automate, Excel, and SQL inside their existing tooling. ### Senior Consultant, Deals Technology · PwC LLP *June 2022 – June 2023* Led an analyst team coordinating globally distributed legal, IT, accounting, and M&A teams on data definitions and documentation standards for a multi-million-dollar deal close. Built Excel/SQL journal-entry automation that cut data processing time 80%+; ran cohort, retention, and churn analyses tied to valuation work using SQL, Python, and Power BI. ### Associate / Senior Associate, Tax Data & Analytics · KPMG LLP *June 2016 – May 2022* Built agentic automation that reviewed tax models for errors and warnings — the work became a new client service generating $500K+ in first-year revenue. Generated $300K+ in new business with a dynamic Excel model for clients navigating the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act; raised team efficiency 80% and cut turnaround 50%. Won KPMG's Chairman's Award for client impact and leading community service initiatives across 250+ employees. --- ## Fellowships & Programs **BASE — Black in AI Safety and Ethics** (2026) — Fellow, Governance Track.
