A.D. Slaton is the founder of Stillriver Solutions, an AI engineering consultancy helping teams build effective workflows with coding agents. He advises startup founders and enterprise CTOs on AI enablement, teaching the Core 4 Framework—Model, Context, Prompt, and Tools—through hands-on workshops and advisory engagements.

A.D. spent 13+ years building mission-critical streaming platforms at Turner Broadcasting, CNN, and Warner Bros Discovery. His systems served millions during March Madness, NBA playoffs, and breaking news coverage—environments where failure wasn’t an option. That background shaped his engineering philosophy: build foundations that work under pressure, not demos that impress in ideal conditions.

In 2025, A.D. launched Stillriver to focus fully on AI enablement. He works daily in Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and agentic coding environments, maintaining his own AI workstation with local models. The Core 4 Framework emerged from this hands-on practice—a teachable mental model for understanding why AI tools work when they work.

A.D. is a Lehigh University alum, a member of the Henry County Chamber of Commerce, and co-founder of the Slaton Cares Foundation, a nonprofit focused on direct assistance to individuals in need. He believes the gap between AI hype and AI usefulness is a training problem, not a technology problem—and that foundational knowledge should be shared openly.

Based in Metro Atlanta, Georgia.
