I am fascinated by the potential of AI, and have been since it first became available to the public (more of my thoughts on that here). I enjoy having AI tools to help me refine research problems, investigate technical solutions, and organize project implementations. The projects here showcase some of the ways I’ve used generative AI (chatGPT, Claude) to:
-
Streamline product ideation and development
-
Enhance and document engineering leadership practices
-
Create engaging educational and artistic content
Practice Tracker
Product Development
AI-assisted Product Development & Technical Architecture
For this project (in progress), I generated prompts in ChatGPT to co-author the full product requirements, technical design, and documentation for a music practice tracking app deployed in the cloud.
Suggested the tech stack (Backend: Python/Django, MongoDB + AWS S3 | Frontend: HTML/CSS/JS) and developed success metrics and roadmap for multiple phases of product development.
Generated chat prompts to simulate user personas and surface potential gaps in the MVP of the app, based on the potential users and their needs.
Project summary & github coming soon!
Masqued Violin
Creative Scripting, Historical Research, & Music Integration
As a violinist and performing artist working solo, I generate chat prompts to assist with research on musicians and artists. I frequently ask for reflection questions and suggestions to guide further research, which I conduct both with, and independently of, AI.
Historical research on figures like Lili Boulanger and Franz Schubert
Organizing educational materials in a logical manner
Artistic improvisation prompts for mask and music creation

Engineering Leadership
Technical Writing & Management Frameworks with AI Assistance
Created a 12-part blog series for engineering managers with AI support for:
Grammar, usage, and mechanics editing
- Generate reflection questions to inspire my writing and thinking
- Refine course offerings and use prompts to frame critical questions in the Jazz Leadership Framework
ADHD-Friendly Personal Productivity System
Workflow Design Using AI, Zapier, and Notion
I have struggled with defining useful work organization as someone with ADHD. ChatGPT helped me develop personalized systems of organization for my iPad, as well as automations to streamline my workflow and assist me in completing tasks.
Combined AI + automation to reduce overwhelm and increase follow-through
Integrated calendar, reminder, and visual planning tools
Explore my system: walkthrough coming soon!
