A neighbor who will sit in the chair with you.

Alex Okita lives in Los Gatos and works with the shops and offices around it. The offer is simple: teach the team how to use AI, install the system in the room, and stay on to support it so the business actually uses the tools efficiently.

He started as a picture person. Concept art at Bungie. Comics. Stage, props, and the unglamorous craft of making worlds hold together. That path bent toward technical art in film and AAA games: tools, pipelines, and the work between a beautiful still and a shippable asset.

Programming arrived as a necessity, then as a first language. MEL, Python, Unreal Script, then C# and Unity. He wrote Learning C# Programming with Unity 3D for CRC Press because the gap between wanting to make a world and being able to drive the engine was too wide.

At Occipital he worked as a spatial interaction engineer — teaching computers to see rooms, objects, and people, and to occupy that space with software. That same habit — sit in the room, make the machine useful — is the AI practice now.

ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini. An office assistant. A local model when the files cannot leave the building. The point is not the model. It is that a local business can use AI without wasting a year on tools that do not fit.
