Patents & Inventions
A patent is a formal recognition that you invented something new. These are mine — co-invented with colleagues at IBM, each one a real working idea for how AI can solve a problem that hasn’t been solved yet.

Generative AI Intelligent Workflow for Augmented Support and Repair
U.S. Patent No. 11,449,951
Designed for the moment a technician is staring at something broken and doesn’t know where to start — a workflow that thinks alongside them, surfacing the right knowledge, the right procedure, the right next step, in real time.
Intelligent Secure Automation of Claim Preemptive Subrogation
U.S. Patent No. US11449951
Why does an insurance claim happen after an accident when satellite data, dashcam footage, weather conditions, and driver history all existed at the moment of impact? This uses all of it — GPS, IoT sensors, witness accounts, jurisdiction-specific regulations — to de-bias fault assessment, settle the claim on a blockchain, and generate a plain-language explanation of how the decision was made. No adjusters. No dispute. Done.

Intelligent Workflow Event Prediction and Contingency Planning
U.S. Pub. No. 2025/0384291 A1
Most strategies break on contact with reality. An AI strategy engine detects exogenous disruptions — economic, geopolitical, market signals — generates divergent future scenarios using reinforcement learning, validates them with a human in the loop, selects the best path forward, and rewrites the operating model and benchmarks to match. Strategy and execution stay synchronized.
AI-Enhanced Intelligent Workflow for Improved Personal Performance
U.S. Pub. No. 2025/0335858 A1
Generic development plans aren’t actually about you. This one is — it benchmarks against peers and your own history, pinpoints exactly where the gaps are and why, then recommends specific projects, mentors, and calendar changes. Goals adjust as you progress. A career engine, not a career plan.
Dynamic Benchmarks of an Intelligent Workflow
U.S. Pub. No. 2025/0005396 A1
A strategy is only as good as what it measures — and most measurement systems are built once and never touched again. This is a closed-loop AI agent that continuously pulls from internal data and external signals, evaluates every benchmark against a quality metric, retires the ones that no longer fit, and introduces new ones. The strategy and its measurement system evolve together, automatically.
Dynamic Maturity Model
U.S. Pub. No. 2024/0394635 A1
Every maturity model eventually becomes a relic because the organization outgrows it. This one doesn’t — it’s a five-level framework that reads documents and scored survey responses to build the capability map, then keeps rewriting it. Data governance, culture, operational capability: each domain gets a live score that reflects where the organization actually is, not where it was when someone last ran a workshop.
Intelligent Workflow for Maturity Assessment of Ecosystem-Enabled Innovation
U.S. Pub. No. 2024/0303573 A1
Most companies measure how good they are. This measures how good they are to work with — across partners, suppliers, and complementors. It never stops reading contracts, filings, and news, so as the ecosystem grows, so does the picture.
Intelligent Workflow for Healthcare
U.S. Pub. No. 2024/0144381 A1
Your doctor can only work with what they can see. This agent fills in the gaps — connecting data from your sensors and environment, flagging changes in your condition, recommending the right practitioners, and even suggesting the devices you need to get the information that matters. It can act on your behalf when you can’t, and a smart contract means you stay in control of all of it.
Distribution of Surplus Products Using Artificial Intelligence
U.S. Pub. No. 2024/0257953 A1
Volunteers in New York were matching surplus goods to people in need using spreadsheets and phone calls. There had to be a better way. This is a neural-network supply chain manager that learns continuously from historical distribution data — matching surplus medicine, food, clothing, and consumables to the people and organizations that actually need them, anywhere in the world, at any scale.
