AI consulting for businesses that want to move faster

Real AI solutions
for real businesses

Whether you're exploring AI for the first time or racing to stay ahead of your competition, I help businesses of every size put AI to work — so your team can focus on what actually matters.

what we build

Custom agentic workflows, tailored to your business.

Fully automated, fully customized AI workflows built around your business — creating real value in the real world. No templates. No one-size-fits-all platforms.

AI audits

Two flavors. Opportunity audits map your workflows and rank where AI would actually move the needle. Security audits red-team agents you've already shipped — prompt injection, data leakage, over-permissioned tools. Both end in a plain-English report with a prioritized fix list.

Custom AI workshops

Hands-on sessions tailored to your team's workflows. We map where AI fits, where it doesn't, and what to ship first — no generic demos.

Agentic workflows

Every business runs on workflows — some simple, some complex, all time-consuming. I build AI agents that handle them end-to-end, tailored to your specific processes, tools, and goals.

Private / local AI

For teams whose data can't leave the building — legal, finance, healthcare, defense. I set up local models (Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM) on your own hardware and build the same agentic workflows around them. Zero data leaving your network.

// philosophy

Agents improve the way employees do.

The perfect agent, like the perfect employee, doesn't exist. The edge comes from pairing imperfect agents with the right work — and improving them every cycle.

Agentic workflows aren't 100% accurate on day one. They miss edge cases, answer the wrong question with too much confidence, and get stuck on inputs they've never seen. That's normal. So do humans. The fix isn't a smarter model — it's a person in the loop, watching for the gaps and feeding them back.

Every override is a lesson. Every approval is a vote of confidence. Kaizen — small, constant improvement — is what turns a rough first draft into a workflow you'd trust without supervision. That's how small businesses actually get ahead with AI: not by hiring a perfect agent, but by building one that compounds with use.

// how it works

From conversation to working automation.

Four phases. Free to start. You see real output by phase 03.

Consultation

Talk through your business, your pain points, where time is being wasted. Free, no commitment.

phase 02

Analysis

Map your workflows, identify highest-impact opportunities, design the right agentic solution.

phase 03

Testing

Build, test, refine until agents perform reliably with your real data and real processes.

phase 04

Delivery

Your automation goes live. I stick around to make sure it runs and iterate as needed.
