About
AI strategy, research, and applied systems.
I'm Ben Faircloth. I lead AI Strategy and Research at Seekr, where my work focuses on evaluation methodology, system trust, and how AI systems behave after deployment. I teach Application Development with LLMs at Villanova University.
My career spans defense, enterprise AI, solution architecture, and applied research. The through-line is simple: evidence before theater.
