Meet David!
Founder, AI Specialist & Educator at Shelleney
Hi, I'm David, and I've spent my entire career immersed in the world of technology. For 20 years, I worked as a software engineer, primarily in the medical device industry, tackling complex challenges and building robust systems. Over the last 5 years, I also had the opportunity to lead large software R&D teams, giving me a deep understanding of how technology is developed, scaled, and applied to solve real-world problems at a high level.
My AI Journey
My journey with Artificial Intelligence began early on, but it was the rapid, game-changing advancements starting around 2022 that truly captivated me. I witnessed a significant shift – AI was becoming powerful and accessible enough to move beyond highly specialized problems and become a practical tool for everyday work.
Like many, I started integrating tools like GitHub CoPilot, ChatGPT, and Gemini into my own daily tasks. The results were eye-opening; used correctly, AI didn't just assist, it fundamentally improved how I did my job.
A pivotal moment arrived when I taught a Prompt Engineering course to a group of clinicians. Seeing their excitement and quick grasp of using AI effectively highlighted a clear, widespread need. People across various professions and businesses were ready to leverage AI but needed a guide to show them how.
Why Small Business? Because I'm One Too.
I decided to focus specifically on helping small businesses because, well, I am one! I deeply understand the unique juggling act, the budget constraints, and the sheer dedication it takes to build something from the ground up. My aim is to help people who are navigating the same waters I am, offering solutions to problems I've encountered and overcome in my own business journey.
There's an incredible energy and spirit within the small business community that truly inspires me. I love working with owners who are pouring their heart and soul into their work to create a good living for themselves and their families. Helping these businesses succeed brings me immense joy.
Unlike large enterprises, small businesses often don't need or can't afford a full-time AI strategist or engineer. What they need is flexible, expert help to get set up, understand how to use the tools effectively, and have support available when they need it. Shelleney is designed precisely for this – providing expert AI guidance and services that can seamlessly fit into your business as needed.
My Philosophy: Making AI Approachable and Useful
My core philosophy is all about demystifying AI. The technology might sound complex, but using it effectively doesn't have to be. I am passionate about making AI super approachable and genuinely easy to integrate into your daily work.
It's not enough to just set up tools; I want every person in your business to feel confident and fully understand how to use the AI systems we implement. My goal is to ensure you get real, tangible value from AI, freeing you up to focus on the aspects of your business you're most passionate about. Making AI accessible and truly useful for everyone, regardless of their technical background, is what drives me.
My Vision for Your Business
My hope and vision for every small business I work with is to see you not just keep pace, but to truly compete with the bigger players. I want to empower you to do things that traditionally required a huge amount of capital and large teams, effectively "leveling the playing field" and giving you a competitive edge.
Imagine having an intelligent assistant right by your side, providing instant access to information and helping you overcome challenges whenever you get stuck. My vision is to equip you and your team with the tools and knowledge to move forward confidently, achieve your goals faster, and unlock new levels of potential for your business.
