I'm an HR Director at a Fortune 500 tech company. A year ago I started using AI for the actual hard work — org design, talent strategy, change management, the stuff that doesn't have clean answers. It changed how I think, not just how fast I work. The HRBP Lab is where I share what I'm learning.

15 years in HR. Org restructures that affect hundreds of people. Talent reviews that get heated. Change programs that actually need to land. I support multiple client groups at a large tech company — work that requires thinking fast, synthesizing quickly, and showing up credible.
About a year ago, I stopped treating AI like a writing shortcut and started treating it like a thought partner. I gave it real context. I challenged its outputs. I rebuilt how I prep, how I analyze, how I frame strategy for my clients.
"What used to take two weeks in a spreadsheet now takes 20 minutes. My clients noticed. I noticed."
Here's what I realized: most HR professionals are still figuring out where to start with AI — and most of what's written about it isn't written by people who actually do HR.
I'm closing that gap. The Lab is where I share the tips, the experiments, the tools I've built, and the honest takes on what works when you go all in. No employer IP. No corporate shortcuts. One practitioner sharing what he's learning so others can get there faster.
This is a work in progress. I'm a work in progress. That's exactly what makes it worth following.
Field notes from running AI as a daily partner in senior HR work. The things that worked. The things that didn't. The unfinished experiments. Whether you're a seasoned HRBP or just getting started with AI — you're welcome here.
One real insight, one AI tool or prompt I'm actually using, and a few things worth reading. Every Saturday morning. Free.
Prompt packs, frameworks, and tools I built for my own work — packaged when they're good enough to share. Things I made because I needed them.
For HRBPs and HR leaders who want a practitioner's take on how they're using — or not using — AI in their work. $150/hr, limited availability.
New experiments, new builds, honest takes on what's not working yet. The Lab doesn't ship and go quiet.
Tools I made for my own work, refined through daily use — not theory. When they're ready, they'll show up here.
The actual prompts I reach for in org design, talent reviews, comp analysis, change management, employee relations, strategic planning, and meeting intelligence. Each one comes with context, customization guidance, and example output. Sold as focused packs by practice area — starting at $10.
What I'm building, what's working, and what I'm still figuring out. Free, every Saturday.
