Building operational systems across AI, legal infrastructure, and data workflows.
Founder of Closeout
Currently building
AI-native settlement closeout infrastructure for personal-injury law firms. Replacing the spreadsheets, email chains, and manual lien work that have made post-settlement the leading source of legal malpractice claims in PI.
Journey
The throughline isn’t one job title. It’s the same instinct in five settings: read the data, fix the system, ship the tool.
2017
Ghana Health Service · Wa, Ghana
Started as Data Quality Engineer. Reduced entry errors by 15% and improved reporting consistency across operational systems.
The first lesson in how organizations quietly break — and where the fixes belong.
2022
German Institute of Business & Technology · Accra, Ghana
Designed analytics programs covering SQL, visualization, and machine-learning pipelines. Trained 200+ engineers and analysts across eight African countries. Lifted program NPS from 41% to 70%.
Each cohort surfaced the same gap between the data and the systems people actually use.
2024
Oklahoma State University · Stillwater
Began the MSc in Business Analytics & Data Science. Joined the International Student Organization as Intern to the Secretary.
The formal study of how organizations decide, alongside the operational work of running one.
2025
Infinedi · ISO · Closeout
Joined Infinedi in Tulsa as Statistical Analyst Intern, building operational dashboards and identity-resolution pipelines for high-volume healthcare data.
Founded Closeout the same year. Elected ISO President at Oklahoma State.
2025
Disney Data & Analytics Conference · Orlando
Presented work at the Disney Data & Analytics Conference exploring large-scale emergency alert systems and national crisis data.
The kind of brittle, high-stakes plumbing that turns out to need most of the same fixes as a small firm’s settlement workflow.
2025
Riata Business Case Competition · High Tech category
An operational software concept I had been shaping placed 2nd in the High Tech category at the Riata Business Case Competition.
That concept became Closeout.
2026
Oklahoma State · Closeout
MSc completes in May.
Closeout moves from concept to scale.
My work so far
One of four engineers on the team that built models to surface operational inefficiencies in Devon separators across five basins using time-series telemetry data. Code is proprietary; impact lived inside Devon’s operations stack.
A real-time chat app with an NLP model that predicts the sentiment of a message before you send it and gives the writer feedback on tone. Built with Hugging Face transformers in early 2023 — before AI chat apps were everywhere.
Leadership & Impact
The systems matter. So do the rooms that produce the people who ship them.

2026
Southeast Decision Sciences Institute (SEDSI) · Jacksonville, FL

May 2025 to May 2026
Oklahoma State University · Stillwater, OK
Leading campus programming, workshops, and community initiatives for OSU’s international student community. Previously served as Intern to the Secretary (Aug 2024 to May 2025).
Sep 2022 to Aug 2024
German Institute of Business & Technology · Accra, Ghana
Designed analytics-focused programs covering SQL, data visualization, and machine learning pipelines for non-technical audiences. Trained 200+ engineers and analysts across eight African countries. Led agile ceremonies and retrospectives that lifted program NPS from 41% to 70%.
Thinking
Short essays and notes on operational systems, AI infrastructure, legal workflows, data engineering, and founder thinking.
Operational friction persists where workflows cross institutions.
Claims infrastructure changed how I think about software reliability and workflows.
Why explainability matters more in operational systems than demos.
