I build AI systems that run in your business.
I join your team, learn how work actually moves, and start building. AI agents, workflow automation, the infrastructure that turns AI from a thing your team talks about into how your team operates. I stay until it's running and your people own it.

If you're nodding at two or more of these, we should talk.
I don't spend months planning. This is what the first engagement looks like.
This isn't a phased consulting roadmap. It's how I work. Fast, embedded, focused on getting to value quickly.
Workflow Immersion
I learn your business the way a new team member would. I sit with your team, watch how work actually moves, map the real workflows (not the org chart version), and find where AI makes the biggest difference with the least friction.
First System Live
Once I understand where the leverage is, the first system goes up. Usually a workflow agent or automation targeting the biggest bottleneck — a working system, running in your team's actual tools.
Expand & Onboard
I build the next layer of systems while training your team to work alongside what's already running. Agents get smarter, workflows get tighter, and your people start seeing AI as a teammate, not a tool they have to figure out.
Embedded Operations
I'm part of the team. I iterate on what's deployed, build new systems as opportunities surface, and hand capability to your people as they're ready. The goal is a team that runs this without me.
Real systems, not slide decks.
What I build depends on where the problems are. But it usually looks something like this.
AI Teammates
Specialized agents that handle real work. Research, outreach, content, intake, data processing. They keep persistent context and get better over time.
Workflow Automation
Processes that used to take someone half a day, now running on their own. Triage, routing, reporting, prep work. Wired into the tools your team already uses.
Agent Orchestration
Multi-agent systems where AI teammates coordinate and hand work to each other with shared state. Not isolated chatbots. A system that works together.
Team AI Fluency
Your people learn to work alongside AI by using systems I build for their specific roles, not from a training deck. Fluency through doing.
I built my own company this way first.
Everything I'd build for you, I've already built and pressure-tested in my own business. This isn't a service I designed. It's how I operate every day.
My sales pipeline has AI systems named Scout, Relay, Build Prep, and Closer. Each handles a stage of client acquisition with handoff protocols between them. They share a single source of truth for pipeline state and coordinate on their own.
My daily brief system runs on GitHub Actions and the Anthropic API. It adapts based on what I actually engage with and delivers continuity every morning. No manual curation.
This isn't hypothetical infrastructure. It's running right now, every day, in a real business generating real revenue. When I say I'll build AI systems that work, I mean the same systems I depend on myself.
The difference between me and a consultant: if what I build breaks, it breaks my business too. That's why it works.
20 years of building.
I'm a full-stack engineer who builds AI systems now. I've been shipping software across startups and enterprise for two decades. Shopzilla, the NFL, my own companies. I co-founded Workfrom and went through Techstars in 2020.
Now I build AI infrastructure full-time. Not as a side interest. It's the core of how I run my business and how I help others run theirs. I speak at conferences on AI teaming because I think most companies are approaching this wrong, and I want to show a different way.
I'm based in Portland. I work with a small number of clients at a time. And I build every system I'd deploy for you in my own business first.
Three ways in. Pick the one that fits.
Not sure where to start? The first conversation is free. I'll tell you which engagement makes sense, or if none of them do.
AI Operations Audit
You know AI should be doing more in your business but you're not sure where to start or what to prioritize. I map your team's actual workflows, talk to the people doing the work, and identify where AI agents and automation create the most operational leverage.
You get a prioritized roadmap — what to build, in what order, and why. The audit gives you everything you need to bring someone like me on to build, or run the playbook with your own team.
Fractional AI Operator
I embed with your team and build continuously. AI teammates, workflow automation, agent orchestration, team fluency. Working systems in your business, starting the first week.
This is the full engagement. I take on 2–3 clients at a time. When I'm in, I'm in.
AI Advisory
You've already committed to building with AI. You have something in motion — a project, a team, a direction. What you need is someone who's done this before to help you around the corners, pressure-test your approach, and show you how the systems work in practice.
We work async throughout the week and meet for a weekly call. Built for founders and technical leaders who are executing but want a guide who builds this stuff every day.
Stop planning. Start building.
30-minute conversation. No pitch, no pressure. We'll talk about where AI fits in how your team actually works.
