Marlon Avery helps leaders, teams, and organizations understand artificial intelligence by
building real systems, teaching practical workflows, and creating moments where complex
technology finally clicks.
Not an AI commentator. Not a futurist with a slide deck. Marlon designs, builds, deploys, and
scales AI systems — then teaches everyone else how to do it too.
One flywheel drives everything: build real systems, extract the lessons, teach them in ways that stick — and inspire the next builder.
01
Build
Ship real systems where constraints are honest and outcomes are measurable. Real AI products, assistants, and workflows — because real stakes force clarity.
Building creates understanding. Every production system surfaces lessons you can’t read in a blog post — what broke, what surprised you, what actually matters.
Complex ideas become simple. Knowledge becomes accessible. 10,000+ professionals trained through sessions designed around the moment technology finally clicks.
The goal isn’t to transfer knowledge — it’s to show people what’s possible so they go build their own thing. People leave believing: “I can build this too.”
Free, hands-on AI education through public libraries — presented by Dream Machine Innovation Lab in partnership with Google, Chime, and Operation HOPE. Eleven cities and counting, 2,000+ workshop participants.
Authored the curriculum, built every workshop deck, and led the sessions — 2,000+ participants trained through free, hands-on AI workshops in public libraries across 11 cities and counting, in partnership with Google, Chime, and Operation HOPE.
A multi-session workshop series with Microsoft for software engineers becoming AI engineers — wiring Azure OCR into LLM pipelines that read W-2s, pay stubs, and PDFs and turn them into answers.
Designed and led a multi-session workshop series with Microsoft turning software engineers into AI engineers — teaching them to connect Azure OCR to LLMs and build document pipelines that read W-2s, pay stubs, and PDFs.
VoicePath is an AI agency I founded to ship HIPAA-compliant voice agents that automate front-desk operations, after-visit summaries, and customer interactions across healthcare, insurance, finance, and legal.
Productized voice AI for regulated industries — including a HIPAA-compliant AI Phone Agent integrated with Veradigm EHR — that improved patient communication response times 60% and reduced administrative workload 50%.
AImpact is the AI education organization I founded — contracted by Microsoft for Azure OpenAI bootcamps and commissioned by Google + Dream Machine Innovation Labs for the AI Library Project tour, with 80+ workshops delivered to 10,000+ professionals.
Translated frontier Generative AI into pragmatic workflows for 10,000+ professionals across 80+ workshops, including Microsoft Azure OpenAI bootcamps that lifted certification pass-rates 30% and a Google-backed five-city AI Library Project tour.
