Honest AI Consulting
In a Market Full of Hype
Discovery-first engagements. Transparent pricing. Systems that actually work.
The AI consulting market is full of hype — overcharging, over-promising, and exploiting the gap between those building AI and those buying it. Most firms have every incentive to keep you dependent. I don't.
What I Do
AI Adoption & Enablement
Learning AI tools is too important to outsource permanently. I build the initial bridge — hands-on coaching that cuts through the hype, gives your team real capability, and gets you operating independently.
Operations & Cost Intelligence
Most businesses are bleeding money on tools and subscriptions they've stopped questioning. AI has collapsed the cost of building custom alternatives. I audit your operation and show you exactly where to cut, consolidate, or replace.
Bespoke Apps & Automation
Discovery comes first — I map your actual business needs before writing a line of code. When I build, I build with you, not for you. You'll understand how it works, own the result, and be capable of adapting it as your business evolves.
Websites That Work For You
AI is how I build fast. Design experience is how I make sure it doesn't look like it. Your site gets both — a genuinely crafted digital presence with real business automation wired in, not a template with your logo swapped in.
What I've Delivered
8 years shipping products across finance, defense, healthtech, and real estate — for startups, enterprises, and the government. Here's some of the recent work.
AI Enablement Sprint
Enablement sprint for a social ad agency. Coaching their team to confidently use AI tools, build repeatable workflows, and operate independently after the engagement ends.
Personal AI Assistant
Assistants for busy executives and families caring for elderly relatives. Claude Cowork or ChatGPT Work when that's enough; a private, self-hosted assistant when the data is sensitive. Bills, appointments, finances, communication, with security first.
Intelligent Prospecting Engine
Multi-agent LangChain system that finds, researches, and contacts leads for a B2B wholesaler. From discovery to production in 6 days. Delivers 10-20 qualified leads per week.
Inspection Report Automation
Multimodal AI that processes inspection reports end-to-end — parses documents, analyzes photos, surfaces what matters. Processing time cut by two-thirds.
Website for a primary care practice. Design to deployment, with backend automation handling intake and scheduling.
Client website for a commercial real estate group. End-to-end build with integrated visitor analytics and performance tracking.
Property Power
Analyzes public records, satellite imagery, and news to assess power availability and expansion potential.
WebScope
Crawls sites with Playwright, analyzes with Claude, outputs full architecture maps.
How I Work
Discovery
Deep-dive into your business, challenges, and what you've already tried. No solutions until I understand the problem.
Strategy
Design the right approach — whether that's enablement, automation, a full build, or a combination.
Build Together
When I build, I build with you. Weekly check-ins, visible progress, and you understand every decision along the way.
Handoff & Beyond
Every engagement ends with your team able to operate independently. And if you need me again — for a new challenge, a second opinion, or just a gut check — I'm here.
