Logline
I build AI that propels human ideas. From co-founding a video intelligence company acquired by Apple, to shipping Webby and Telly award-winning products and experiences at Verizon, to advising companies on generative pipelines and ML transformation—I've spent 15+ years at the intersection of machine learning and storytelling. Gravitate Pictures is where that experience lives, helping creatives figure out how generative tech actually fits into production.
Unicorn Ninja Abilities
AI Product Strategy
Zero-to-one product builds through scale and exit. I've done it at startups (VILYNX → Apple) and inside Fortune 500s (Verizon, L'Oréal Paris). Strategy, roadmaps, GTM—the full stack.
Generative Media
Runway, Kling, Pika, Sora, Midjourney—I know the tools. But the real work is building pipelines that turn IP into living systems. Custom models, narrative guardrails, production-validated workflows for studios and creatives.
XR / AR / VR
From Angry Birds to Live Nation to a Star Wars activation with ILMxLAB using live mocap over 5G—I've shipped spatial experiences across gaming, entertainment, and live events.
Conversational AI
I built conversational systems when they were Frankenstein stacks. Now they're hybrid solutions with humans in the loop. Enterprise assistants to creative CX—telecom, media, healthcare.
Data & Analytics
Built video intelligence and early real-time social systems before they had names. Sentiment analysis, attribution modeling, predictive analytics—turning content data into decisions.
GTM & Partnerships
Closed enterprise deals across broadcast, studios, and live entertainment. IP packaging, content automation partnerships, and startup advisory for VC-backed portfolio companies.
