My name is Neil L. Rideout
My mission is to spark imagination and foster a deeper understanding of humanity’s potential through dynamic storytelling that spans sci-fi, historical fiction, and beyond. With works like the Captain Coder series, I blend cutting-edge technology, historical intrigue, and universal human themes to captivate readers of all ages. I strive to build a global community of curious minds, encouraging creativity, critical exploration of technology’s impact, and a bold embrace of the past, present, and future through the power of narrative.
I offer three core services leveraging my expertise as an author, technologist, and entrepreneur:
Book Writing: I create compelling sci-fi and historical fiction, including the Captain Coder series (Code of Invisibility, The Monarch’s Web) and Vinland Unearthed, blending technology, adventure, and human resilience. I also provide ghostwriting, manuscript development, and storytelling consultation for aspiring authors, delivering narratives that captivate and inspire.
AI Consulting: With a Computer Science background and experience in AI risk assessment, I offer strategic AI consulting for businesses and startups. My services include designing AI-driven solutions, optimizing workflows with machine learning, and assessing ethical and technical risks, ensuring innovative and responsible AI integration.
Project Management: Drawing from leadership roles at ventures like Saratoga Oceanic DGI and Serca Technologies, I provide expert project management for tech and creative initiatives. I oversee timelines, budgets, and teams, delivering projects with precision, whether developing software, launching products, or coordinating multidisciplinary efforts.
My services combine intellectual rigour, creative vision, and technical expertise to empower clients in storytelling and technology.
