I worked 20+ years in engineering and complex systems. Theatre and event technology, from technician to stage manager. Then installation engineering: camera observation systems in operating rooms, video routing and sound installations. I made the drawings, handled the client coordination and installed the systems myself. Things that simply had to work, because something was riding on them. Alongside that, I studied how people work and change, from hypnotherapy and NLP to deep personal development.
The common thread is understanding how something works, in a person, a process or a machine, and getting it working. AI is the newest layer. Now I help owners and decision-makers see where customers get stuck and build the missing system.
