A medic's bias for outcomes, applied to AI engineering.

I spent over a decade in U.S. Army Special Forces as an 18D Special Forces medic. That work teaches you to diagnose quickly, communicate clearly, and own the outcome when the plan meets reality.

I brought that discipline into AI. I earned an M.S. in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Michigan-Dearborn and built across applied ML: computer vision, NLP, reinforcement learning, geospatial systems, and production services.

The part I care about most is where many AI projects fail: getting a promising prototype into a dependable system with data discipline, evals, monitoring, cost controls, deployment, and a team that can operate it.

ClelandCo exists for focused teams and operators who need practical systems work: production ML for funded teams, and visibility systems for service businesses that need customers to find and trust them.
