Hi, I'm Bart - Founder of Mosaic Mesh AI.

I build AI products, teach people how to think strategically about AI, and write about all of it as I go.

What I Do

Training & Workshops — Hands-on AI training for technical and non-technical audiences — half-day sessions to multi-day programs.

Fractional AI Strategy — Part-time, embedded work helping leadership teams figure out where AI fits — and where it doesn't.

AI-Assisted Product Development — Concept to production-launched application, built on infrastructure you own.

What I've Built

BartBot — A full SaaS product built using AI-assisted development. Four tools, first version live in 20 hours.

Mosaic Mesh AI Blog — 43+ technical posts documenting hands-on AI builds: agentic systems, fine-tuning, embeddings, prompt engineering, and more.

Book (unpublished & in progress) — "The Return of the Merchant Mindset" — strategic thinking for the AI era.

Why Teaching

I've been teaching for 28 years — I just spent most of that time calling it something else. 100+ people mentored career-wide (25+ now in leadership roles), 21 consecutive years coaching adult triathletes, five years as a professional soccer coach, and continuing to coach youth sports as a volunteer.

In 1997, I walked away from a portfolio career in outdoor education and coaching because student loans demanded a "real job." I spent 28 years in tech — building software, leading teams, translating between technical and business audiences at companies from startups to Amazon. I never stopped teaching. I just did it inside other roles.

Now I'm doing it on purpose.
