Origin Story

Eric spent over a decade building data systems — the kind of infrastructure that makes companies actually run. When ChatGPT launched, he saw a paradigm shift happening in real time.

He went deep — particularly into Claude by Anthropic — developing methodology for how to think about AI. He navigated every transition: prompt engineering to context engineering to agentic engineering.

Now he helps others do the same — with systems thinking, not hype.

Eric in Japan

Most of my clients come in with the same question: ‘I know AI matters, but I don't know where it fits in my business.’ That's exactly what I help you figure out.

Core Beliefs
PARADIGM SHIFT

AI is a paradigm shift, not a tool. It changes how we think about work itself.

END OF SPECIALIZATION

The era of the specialist is ending. The future belongs to adaptive, cross-functional thinkers.

SYSTEMS FIRST

Systems and workflows are the forefront. Individual tools come and go — the thinking endures.

THE LAST SKILL SET

Learning to work with AI is the last skill set. Everything after this gets learned alongside it.

CREATE THE FUTURE

The best way to predict the future is to create it. We don’t wait for change — we build it.

A BEAUTIFUL WORLD

Technology can bring us to a more beautiful world. That’s not idealism — it’s a design choice.
