Forward Deployed Engineer at Driveline Baseball · Co-founder of altr
/now
I am a forward deployed engineer at Driveline Baseball. I build and support the biomechanics platform and the AI tools our staff use with it.
I also co-founded altr, an AI consulting firm in Tampa, where I build the MCP servers and agents behind our client work. For the fuller personal context, read a little bit more about who I am.
