I'm the CEO of Ryshe, an AI and cloud consulting firm based in Detroit, MI. With 16+ years in the tech industry, I help organizations bridge the gap between AI promises and IT reality — with honest engineering and battle-tested solutions.
This blog is my digital garden — a place where I share deep dives into AI strategy, cloud architecture, MLOps, engineering leadership, and lessons learned from building Ryshe from the ground up.
After leading AI transformations at multiple companies, I've identified the three fatal mistakes executives make before writing a single line of code. The problem isn't the technology — it's the question you're asking it to answer.
Read Article →We spent a decade learning to orchestrate microservices. Now we're about to repeat every mistake with AI agents. Here's the playbook I wish I had 12 months ago.
Read →The experiment that taught me where LLMs actually belong in production infrastructure — and where they absolutely don't. The answer surprised our entire team.
Read →Vanilla RAG hit its ceiling months ago. I'll show you the architecture we built at Ryshe that combines knowledge graphs, multi-hop reasoning, and tool use for 40% better accuracy.
Read →Predictive prefetching, adaptive layouts, intelligent caching. The next generation of web apps won't be built — they'll be generated.
Read →From junior dev to CEO. I've chased every trend, burned out twice, and built a company. These are the hard-won truths I'd tattoo on the wall of every startup.
Read →Everyone's racing to fine-tune models. After 8 failed experiments and $40K in GPU costs, I found a cheaper approach that outperforms every fine-tuned model we tested.
Read →My company — an AI and cloud consulting firm that bridges the gap between AI hype and production reality with honest engineering.
