Exploring practical uses of AI

Hi everyone — I’m Nate. I’ve spent most of my career leading operations and strategy for professional service businesses, particularly in the legal space.

I’ve been exploring AI pretty actively over the past year. Not a beginner, but definitely still experimenting and learning what’s actually useful versus just hype. I’m especially interested in how AI can help with analysis, decision-making, and making complex work more efficient without losing the human side of it.

I joined this community because I like being around people who are actually building and figuring things out in real time, not just talking about AI in theory.

One area I’d really like to get better at is using AI more systematically for productivity and problem-solving, turning it into something that meaningfully improves how I work day-to-day.

During the pandemic I taught myself Lua and Python to build Roblox games and small projects for my kids and their friends to play, which unexpectedly pulled me deeper into the AI world. Outside of work, I spend a lot of time coaching high school soccer, which I genuinely love.

Looking forward to learning from everyone here.
