I run federal grant programs at a public university by day. I build with AI on nights and weekends. The same thinking holds both.
The work behind the work.
Title III Director at Fort Valley State University. Manages eight million dollars in federal funding, including Title III Part B and FUTURE Act Part F programs.
Agile and Scrum methodology applied across federal program management and personal build work.
Continuing professional development certification in applied AI consulting practice.
Direct certification from the team behind Claude. Verified competence in working with the tool the way it’s built to work.
Multiple websites with custom domains, web-based apps, AI voice agents, digital workbooks, and multi-platform content systems.
A relationship clarity brand with a full product ecosystem and a faceless history channel. AI avatars with consistent identity across hundreds of pieces of content.
A few things the grid doesn’t say.
I am also a regular person with a full-time job, a family, and limits on my time. Everything I have built with AI, I built around all of that. Mornings before work. Evenings after dinner. Weekends when I should have been resting.
I am self-taught. Nobody handed me a curriculum. I read, I tried things, I broke things, I figured out why they broke, I tried again. The thinking in my book is the thinking I worked out doing that.
I am not a tech person who wandered into AI. I am a public-sector administrator who learned AI the way you’d learn any other discipline. Slowly, on purpose, and with a job and a family in the background the whole time.
If any of that sounds like you, the book is for you.
If this is the kind of thinking you’d want around your own AI work, the book is here.
