AI Enablement
Design and integrate AI workflows that reduce cognitive load, from internal tools to customer-facing products.
Consulting
AI and Engineering Consulting
Available
I help teams design, ship and stabilize software, from AI tools to core product platforms. I am a technical program manager and former CTO, and I still write code. I work with founders, product leads, engineering managers and engineers. When a project needs more than me, I bring in people I know.
Services
What We Can Build, Fix or Clarify
Each engagement is scoped to where you are: validating a product, scaling a system, untangling complexity, or growing as an engineer.
Systems and Product Architecture
Clarify system boundaries, data flows and the product surface, including microservices and API design, so later changes are easier to reason about.
Hands-On Engineering and Reviews
Ship key features or refactors with code, documentation and tests, and hand the knowledge over so your team can maintain the work.
Product and Leadership Advisory
For founders, product managers, engineering leads, and engineers who want mentorship on growth, focus and team dynamics.
The Network
When the Work Needs More Than Me
Tell me what you need. I will tell you what I can do myself, and who I trust for the rest. Then I bring them in, or I introduce you.
- Software Engineers
- Designers
- Copywriters
- Artists and Creatives
- Musicians
- Athletes
- Entrepreneurs
- Robotics and Hardware
When someone else does part of the work, I name them.
How I Work
Listen, Design, Build
- Step 1
Listen
I start with your constraints, your people, and the problems that hurt. Then I map the system so everyone sees the same picture.
- Step 2
Design
We agree on a plan that fits your team's capacity and risk.
- Step 3
Build
I ship in small, observable steps. I document, pair, and hand the knowledge over so your team can maintain the work.
