Hey, I'm Tim.

I help ambitious professionals stop dabbling with AI and start using it in ways that save time, sharpen thinking, and improve real work.

Why people trust me with this

I spent years building software that had to work in the real world — from systems tied to $200M in transactions to work for the US Air Force, US Space Force, SF 49ers, H-E-B, and Tough Mudder. It taught me to care about what holds up in real life, not what just sounds impressive online.

That is the same filter I bring to AI now. I test obsessively, keep what is useful, and throw out what is mostly noise.

I also went through Gauntlet AI — a 12-week intensive where I spent 80-100 hours a week building AI agents, multi-agent systems, and MCP servers. So when I teach this stuff, I am not guessing from the sidelines.

The path here

What I am focused on now

I run AIxEDU Austin — a hands-on AI meetup for people who want to learn in public, ask honest questions, and see useful examples live.

I guest lectured on AI at a university in Puerto Rico. I write a weekly newsletter that filters what matters and gives people something practical to try. And I am building Chiro Assist, an AI operations agent for chiropractic practices.

I also run a growth agency where AI gets used on real websites, content systems, and client work. Teaching and building feed each other.
