Everything we do is only as good as our data.
Even AI.
I'm Jon. I lead engineering and AI teams that ship — across enterprise SaaS, regulated environments, and the messy middle where strategy meets production.
I started as a data architect, did a master's in predictive analytics at Northwestern, ran distributed teams across the US, India, and LATAM, and now lead AI delivery at DLA Piper. My film-school undergrad still shows up in how I tell the story of a roadmap.
The throughline of my career has been a quiet conviction: the smartest model in the world will fall over if the data underneath it is bad. I build accordingly.
Outside the day job, I run an AI consulting practice for nonprofits, founded a hydroponics nonprofit fighting food insecurity in Evanston, and am shipping a location-based iOS scavenger hunt app for the fun of it.
An AI consulting practice built only for nonprofits and mission-aligned orgs. Custom LLM solutions, impact measurement, fundraising optimization, and operations automation — engineered with the same rigor I bring to enterprise.
