AI Strategist & Learning Guide
I take frontier capability — advanced AI, complex systems, hard ideas — and turn it into something people and organizations can actually use.
Sacramento / Northern California (mobile across CA) · Remote or on-site · Available now · https://leechazen.com/· linkedin.com/in/chazen
SUMMARY
AI strategist, educator, and app builder with 30+ years turning complex ideas into working practice — from the classroom to shipped AI products. I help people and organizations work with AI and complex information, and I build the tools that make it usable. 40+ AI applications built, 25+ shipped. M.A. in Curriculum & Instruction. Open to contract, freelance, part-time, full-time, teaching, and consulting work.
WHAT I DO — FOUR AREAS
Education & Teaching — Curriculum and instructional design, game-based learning, hands-on AI workshops for staff, and auditing AI-generated content for pedagogical soundness. Open to consulting, workshops, and extension / part-time teaching at schools and universities.
Business & AI Adoption — Turning frontier AI into adoption: strategy, rapid prototypes (voice memo to live URL), and team training that sticks. I speak both "product" and "business," so what I build gets used, not shelved.
AI Literacy & Research Coaching — Teaching individuals and teams to organize information, query systems like NotebookLM, and think critically with AI. Includes helping self-represented people organize their own case materials to prepare before meeting an attorney (instruction only — not legal advice).
Creative & Lifelong Learning — Creativity as a teachable discipline; dialogue-based tools and frameworks; deep-questioning and discernment engines.
SELECTED WORK (SHIPPED)
Built a full AI-native learning platform solo in ~4 weeks that holds a ~30-minute average user session — engagement most apps never reach.
800-word prompt system generating 400+ world-history questions across all six levels of Bloom's Taxonomy — refined for genuine reasoning, not pattern-matching.
Media-literacy "discernment engine" that scores any text for logical fallacies, cognitive distortions, and sourcing bias — directly applicable to AI output-quality auditing.
NotebookLM & AI-literacy training that helped a client triple research and writing speed.
40+ AI applications built, 25+ shipped; 29,000 use cases and 100,000+ views on FlowGPT.
