Who I Help

You’re smart. You’re busy. AI has you overwhelmed.

You lead a mid-market organization. AI is everywhere — every conference, every board conversation, every vendor pitch. You have ideas about where it could help, but you’re not sure which are real, which are hype, and whether your organization is even ready. The terms keep multiplying — agentic AI, GenAI, governance, MLOps — and you can’t tell which ones actually matter for a business like yours.

You can’t hire a fleet of AI engineers or sign a seven-figure engagement. You need honest guidance from someone who has lived AI delivery inside complex organizations — one senior advisor in your corner, focused on your outcomes, not billable hours.

Your Tuesday morning looks like this

  • Three vendor demos on the calendar you didn’t ask for
  • A board member asking “what’s our AI strategy?”
  • A nagging feeling you’re already behind
  • No idea which of your ten AI ideas to pursue first
One advisor. No layers.
Designing an AI system on paper — Arivyo builds what it advises on

How I Help

Three ways to work together — each built around your specific situation

The AI Clarity Session

A focused, structured conversation where you bring your AI questions, your half-formed ideas, and your vendor concerns — and walk away with a clear picture of what’s actually worth pursuing. I’ve built the systems you’re being sold. I know what’s ready for production and what isn’t.

Fractional Chief AI Officer

For mid-market companies that need senior AI leadership in the room — not outsiders who parachute in with a presentation and disappear. I join your leadership conversations, advise your team, manage your vendor relationships, and help you build real AI capability.

Why Arivyo

The advisor you’ve been wanting to find.

  • I build what I advise you on

    I don’t advise from the sidelines. I’ve built and shipped production AI across the stack — machine learning, GenAI and RAG, agentic systems, and the MLOps and governance that keep them safe in regulated environments. When I tell you something is or isn’t ready for your organization, it’s from firsthand experience, not a whitepaper.

  • I won't send a junior team

    When you work with Arivyo, you work with me. The same person on the intro call is the same person in every conversation.

  • I help you separate signal from noise

    Agentic AI, GenAI, governance, MLOps, data readiness — the landscape moves fast and every vendor claims to have the answer. My job is to help you understand what each actually means for a business like yours, and which ones deserve your time and budget right now.

  • Priced for real businesses

    Not a $2M engagement. Not retainers that require a CFO sign-off. Accessible advisory for leaders who need senior-level thinking without enterprise-scale pricing.

“You don’t need more AI options. You need someone to tell you which one is actually right for your business.”

About

Rosalia Tungaraza, Ph.D.

Founder & Principal AI Architect, Arivyo

I founded Arivyo because leaders kept asking for the same thing: someone who would tell them the truth about AI — what to pursue, what to pause, and what to ignore — without turning every conversation into a sales opportunity.

For fifteen years I’ve worked inside demanding enterprises — most recently as AVP of AI at Baptist Health South Florida, where I built and scaled a 22-person AI team across a twelve-hospital system and shipped 60+ production systems spanning predictive machine learning, GenAI and RAG assistants, and agentic AI platforms. Before that I led AI and data science work at UnitedHealth Group (Optum), WarnerMedia (CNN and Bleacher Report), and DataRobot, where I advised Fortune 500 clients. Today I’m actively designing and delivering AI in the health insurance sector — from agentic systems and MLOps to the data foundations, governance, and responsible-AI practices that make it all production-ready.

My foundation is academic as much as practical: a Ph.D. and M.S. in Computer Science & Engineering from the University of Washington, and a B.A. in Computer Science & Biochemistry, summa cum laude, from Mount Holyoke College. My doctoral research centered on artificial intelligence in healthcare — the same rigor I now bring to evaluating vendors, claims, and tradeoffs in the real world.

I hold the Claude Certified Architect – Foundations certification from Anthropic (CCAR-F, 2026) and am completing the Professional-level certification (CCAR-P, expected October 2026). These reflect the depth at which I work in the Claude and Anthropic ecosystem right now, so the guidance you get is grounded in current, hands-on practice rather than yesterday’s headlines.

Get in Touch

Let’s have the conversation you’ve been needing.

Whether you’re overwhelmed by options, about to make a consequential AI decision, or simply trying to find a credible starting point — reach out.

No pitch. No canned presentation. Just an honest conversation.
