About

Pioneering the $187 Billion TAM for EdTech and Corporate Training/LD disruption with PrepAI, a global solutions AI platform that's transformed personalized learning outcomes across several industries; (1) Saved 87% of total cost compared to investing in outsourcing (2) Achieved 12x speed for generating personalized assessments (3) Reduced 79% of labor intensive tasks due to increased automation As Founder of The Bertrand Education Group, I bridge the gap between AI innovation and software implementation excellence with our manufacturing partner (Data-To-Biz), based in India. Our proprietary technology (PrepAI) is reshaping global education and corporate enterprise, earning prestigious recognition as Alconics “2024 AI Implementer of the Year Finalist”, exclusively featured at the "2025 Inaugural AI Everything Global Summit" in the UAE and securing partnerships with 'Microsoft for Startups' and Qatar Foundation. I have spent the last few years implementing PrepAI—not just as a SaaS tool, but as a "Best in Class" intelligence engine designed to solve the most difficult bottleneck in education and now also, digital health; automated and high-fidelity assessment. We build the "Intelligence Infrastructure" that powers the future of adaptive learning. In an era where general-purpose LLMs are reaching a plateau, the real value of Artificial Intelligence lies in specialized, high-integrity reasoning and data. The Strategic Edge: PrepAI's 12-Million Record Moat, our team has built a proprietary, non-replicable corpus of 12 million validated assessment data points. This moat provides a level of diagnostic reasoning and accuracy that currently outmatches legacy systems from notable software enterprise companies (available upon request). By focusing on "Structure over Tokens," we’ve reduced the hallucination rate to <2.4%, making PrepAI a critical reference architecture for the next generation of GPU-accelerated education— A fact previously validated through our favorable recognition by Hexaware Technologies. Immediate Focus: Due to infrastructure, I am currently leading the discreet transition of PrepAI to a "forever home" that can leverage our 12M-point data moat to dominate the $347B Digital Health and Higher Ed markets among other. Our Partnership Team is open to discussing: Strategic M&A for Infrastructure Integration Agentic AI + Autonomous Reasoning Architectures High-Integrity Data Moats in EdTech + HR-Tech Let’s connect to discuss how specialized intelligence is rendering general-purpose platforms obsolete.

  • Our philanthropic initiative is to provide one (1) million students from disadvantaged communities, a world-class STEM education (Academics + Application+ Hands-on Robotics + Career Pathway) with 80% matching grant from the National Education Foundation (NEF), a global non-profit leader in STEM Education and State University of New York (SUNY), our strategic partner and the largest comprehensive university system in the U.S.
  • The catalyst for all of the above are due to major concerns about U.S. innovation and global competitiveness combined with new Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for learning organized around engineering design as a topic for student inquiry and entrepreneurship. It is our committed goal to prepare and support disenfranchised students, millennials (youth) and Social Entrepreneurs in making engineering a substantive part of their content knowledge and/or pedagogical practice for innovative sustainability.
