Hi there! I’m Carly,
I’m a 30-something woodworking, piano playing, neurodivergent woman with a lifelong habit of doing things differently.
Over the past 10+ years, I’ve worked at the intersection of product, operations, and engineering - translating messy, ambiguous problems into structured systems that scale. Increasingly, that’s meant not just implementing AI workflows, but deciding where and how AI should fundamentally reshape how teams operate.
My work tends to start upstream: identifying high-friction points in how decisions are made, how information flows, and where time is lost. From there, I design AI-enabled systems that reduce manual effort, improve signal quality, and create leverage across teams.
After running my own startup, I’ve spent a lot of time in the realities of execution - customer deployments, integrations, broken processes, and imperfect data. That experience shapes how I approach AI: not as a feature layer, but as infrastructure that changes how work actually gets done.
I’m especially interested in roles where AI is treated as a strategic lever—something that can reshape operating models, not just optimize tasks.
Interested in working together on your next project? Please reach out, I'd love to chat!
How I work
AI Transformation Strategy
Identify highest-leverage opportunities for AI across workflows and teams
Define where AI should (and shouldn’t) be applied
Translate business goals into system-level changes
Systems Architecture & Design
Design end-to-end AI-enabled workflows (not point solutions)
Structure data flows, decision layers, and human-in-the-loop systems
Balance automation with control, reliability, and usability
Implementation & Iteration
Build and deploy AI workflows, tools, and integrations
Rapid test → evaluate → refine loops
Own outcomes from concept through execution
Operational Impact
Reduce manual effort and operational drag
Improve speed and quality of decision-making
Enable teams to scale without proportional headcount
