Work History

CEO & Founder

Nightwave AI
08.2025 - Current
  • Created the first AI detective agent that pulls in case files, body-cam/CCTV/LPR, phone/computer forensics, social media, and state/federal records to connect clues instantly into suspects, timelines, and next best actions; autonomously chooses next best steps and executes, can agentically search evidence, law enforcement databases, public open-source information and social media, do network analysis to find hidden connections, reference evidence and legal code directly, and surface insights from all of these sources in seconds, where a detective may have spent hours manually searching
  • Reimagined investigations as human-in-command. Positioned Nightwave as a force-multiplier—AI does the grind (video review, data pulls, draft reports); detectives keep judgment and control, gaining hours back for interviews, community work, and strategy.
  • Revolutionary speed & outcomes. Built a pilot-ready product and KPI program to drive clearance-rate lift, faster case cycle-times, hours saved per case, and lower cost-per-case—solving more crimes without adding headcount.
  • Courtroom-ready from day one. Nightwave drafts warrants and reports mapped to the right statutes, maintains chain-of-custody and explainable “why this alert” reasoning—stronger prosecutions, fewer missed elements.
  • Government-grade security & compliance. Implemented a strict program aligned to CJIS and FedRAMP-High–ready standards with SOC 2 Type II controls and full audit trails—privacy-by-design that agencies can trust.
  • One screen, no silos. Orchestrated integrations with leading RMS/CAD, evidence management, body-cam/CCTV/LPR, and digital-forensics tools so investigators search once and see the whole case.
  • Deterrence that’s visible. Positioned Nightwave as a capability that signals certainty—faster identifications and airtight cases that discourage would-be offenders and restore public confidence.
  • Elite advisory board. Recruited the CTO of Interactly.ai (former Netflix Lead AI Researcher, 10+ years), the CEO of Abyro Capital (founded & exited Gathi Analytics), plus accomplished entrepreneurs and physicians; actively adding senior law-enforcement advisors.
  • GovTech go-to-market. Built procurement-ready SOW/RFP language, executive demos, and a pilot → citywide rollout motion targeting major metros, state AGs, and federal task forces—making departments look decisively modern while delivering results.

Head Intern

Interactly.ai
05.2025 - 08.2025
  • Coordinated events and workshops for interns, promoting networking opportunities and skill-building experiences.
  • Created comprehensive reports to track progress of team goals, leading to improved decision-making processes.
  • Lead and fully completed a brand new product initiative using state-of-the-art AI avatars using real-time video generation, agentic AI architecture, and AI voice agents; patients could now video chat different AI healthcare specialists (nurse, associate, etc.) to provide a more comprehensive experience
  • Built the whole architecture for the AI video chat functionality personally; successfully demoed the new intelligent AI avatars to potential clients to close deals
  • Mentored junior interns, fostering a supportive work environment and promoting professional development.

Co-Founder & CTO

Flash AI
03.2024 - 08.2025
  • Established a successful business by identifying market needs and developing innovative solutions (landing page: flashai.us)
  • Built the entire platform from scratch including cloud architecture with AWS GovCloud with strict compliance with CJIS compliance framework, FedRAMP High, and DoD Impact Level 5; added integration with popular law enforcement systems with an AI intelligence layer built on top allowing detectives to easily search through mountains of data with a natural-language query
  • Lead all product development efforts; managed a team of 10 developers on both the frontend and backend; did market research and analysis on competitors and usecases to narrow down what exactly to include in the product to differentiate ourselves
  • Built the entire AI ingestion engine and the agent chat interface to allow quick and easy search through any evidence, ranging from bodycam footage, interrogation footage, jail cell calls, Cellebrite extraction files, PDFs, documents, and more; included two modes: Flash Fast for quick analysis results and Flash Deep for longer, deeper analysis with more comprehensive results
  • Brought the company from a simple idea to help investigators save time on video review into a complete platform to ingest, search, analyze, and suggest actions based on any form of evidence; lead sales meetings to secure potential buyers and in the process of deals with the Ohio State Auditing Office and the Department of Corrections
