Applied AI Strategist, Architect & Builder

Loren Cossette

Your AI initiative is stuck between strategy and reality. I close that gap.

I help organizations turn messy, high-stakes AI problems into working systems, operational change, and measurable outcomes — for public sector, mission-driven organizations, and teams stuck between vision and execution.

Client Impact

What leaders say

Loren didn't just build us an AI system — he rewired how our entire leadership team thinks about technology adoption. The governance framework alone saved us six months of false starts.

Rachel Dominguez

Deputy Director, Digital Services

County Government Agency

We had three failed AI pilots before Loren came in. Within 90 days he had a production pipeline running that our team could actually maintain. The difference was someone who understands both the code and the organizational politics.

Michael Chen

VP of Engineering

Enterprise SaaS (Series C)

His ability to translate between the C-suite and the engineering floor is rare. Our board finally understood why the AI investment mattered — and approved the next phase on the spot.

Problems I Solve

Where I create impact

Automate Complex, High-Stakes Workflows

Turn manual, error-prone processes into production AI systems that run reliably — multi-agent orchestration, tool-calling pipelines, and autonomous workflows.

Turn Institutional Knowledge Into Searchable Systems

Your organization's knowledge is trapped in documents, databases, and people's heads. I build retrieval systems that make it findable, trustworthy, and actionable.

Make Compliance Manageable at Scale

Facing a WCAG, Section 508, or federal compliance deadline with thousands of files? I build automated pipelines that turn that backlog into structured, auditable output.

Get Your AI Initiative Out of Pilot Purgatory

You've proven the concept but can't get to production. I build the strategy, governance, and change management that gets AI adopted — not just approved.

About

As a full-lifecycle AI strategist and builder, I own every phase — problem discovery, stakeholder alignment, architecture, code, deployment, and change management. Recent work includes automated WCAG compliance replacing $150K–$450K in manual labor and an enterprise AI & Data strategy across a $126B portfolio.

I build production agentic systems, RAG pipelines, and serverless infrastructure — while standing up governance frameworks, training executives at UT Austin and Johns Hopkins, and publishing peer-reviewed AI research.
