I spent 8 years building AI systems inside the enterprise.
I saw what works at scale. I saw what gets killed in procurement. OptiSyn exists to close that gap.

Founder & Principal Engineer
Headshot coming soon
I am a Marine Corps veteran with an active TS/SCI clearance and a Master's in Analytics from Texas A&M.
I have seen what works at scale and what gets killed in procurement. I have watched vendors deliver demos that fell apart on production data. I have sat in rooms where $2M AI initiatives got shelved because nobody planned for ATO timelines.
That is why I started OptiSyn. I do not sell strategy. I build systems that run.
Every engagement ships to production. Every system handles real data. If it does not work, you do not pay. OptiSyn is SDVOSB certified. I work across classified and unclassified environments and understand FedRAMP, ATO timelines, and the compliance requirements that come with government work.
Built on experience, not buzzwords.

3 engagement models.
Not 30 service offerings on a menu. Three proven models. You pick the one that fits.
The 90-Day Build
One high-pain workflow. One production AI system. Scoped, built, deployed, and running in 90 days. Includes 30-day post-launch support and full knowledge transfer. If it does not work, you do not pay.

Our engineers embed with your team for 60 to 90 days. We build alongside your people, upskill as we go, and leave you with a system and a team that can maintain it.
The Strategic Assessment
Two-week deep dive into your data, infrastructure, and workflows. You get a prioritized roadmap with ROI estimates, not a 200-page deck that sits in a drawer.
