I studied cognitive science because I wanted to understand how people actually think. How do we make decisions? How do we interact with technology? That curiosity has shaped everything I do professionally, from competitive intelligence and market research to AI evaluation and product strategy.

I learn by doing. If there's a research problem, I'll figure out a system for it. If there's too much information, I'll find a way to make it useful. I've designed automated workflows to track entire markets and shaped product positioning and GTM strategy alongside engineering and leadership teams. I've also trained and evaluated AI models, contributed to human-AI collaboration research, and built systems that make complex technical information more accessible and actionable.

My cognitive science background gives me the ability to move between disciplines and connect ideas that don't always sit in the same room; research and strategy, human behavior and technical systems, data and narrative. A lot of my work comes down to taking something complex and making it clear for the people who need it.

I care about how AI should be built, not just how it can be. I'm drawn to mission-driven work in AI for good, responsible technology, sustainability, and social impact, with teams that take ethical responsibility seriously. I strive to do work that matters, with people who care about getting it right.

FAQ

What does the final deliverable look like?

It depends on the package. The Focused Brief is a concise 1-2 page executive summary designed for quick decision-making. The Full Landscape is a detailed written report (5-10 pages) with competitive positioning, funding context, and strategic recommendations. Both are formatted for easy sharing with your board or leadership team.

How is this different from a Google Search?

I go well beyond what's publicly obvious. I cross-reference funding databases, program reports, organizational filings, and sector publications to build a picture you can't get from surface-level searching. The value is in the synthesis. I connect dots across dozens of sources and translate that into something actionable for your specific situation.

Can you help us with grant research specifically?

Yes. If you're preparing a grant application, I can research the competitive landscape around your focus area, identifying how peer organizations are positioning themselves for similar funding, and help you understand where you stand. This gives your grant writer context and a clearer case for differentiation.

What if we need research on more than 50 organizations?

We can scope that out together. For larger landscapes, I'll provide a custom quote based on the depth and breadth of research needed. The pricing tiers are starting points. I'm happy to tailor the scope to your specific needs.

What's included in the Ongoing Intel retainer?

I set up automated tracking systems to monitor your sector continuously, then deliver monthly briefings on what's changed (new players, funding shifts, program launches, emerging trends, etc.). You also get quarterly strategic review where we look at the bigger picture. Think of it as having a dedicated research analyst keeping your team informed.
