I help owner-operators (50 employees or fewer, $10-20M revenue) add intelligence to their operations using the best tools and tech available without the hype, confusion or chaos. Focus on what matters, automate the rest. My sweet spot? Founders who already see that AI is an affordable, unfair advantage and are ready to act. When used right, adding an intelligence layer to your business will make you faster, stronger and smarter almost overnight. You can compress months of trail and error into days and eliminate hours of tiresome, repetitive work ... unlocking speed and efficiency that your competitors won't match. What keeps your team up at night? - "Everyone's hyping AI, but how do we actually add it to our roadmap?" - "How do I identify which business processes to automate first? How long to see real ROI?" - "Our competitors are already moving faster with AI — how does our team catch up, keep up and pull ahead?" I’ve spent 25+ years bridging the gap between technical and non-technical teams, helping Fortune 500s and US government agencies streamline operations and ship software faster. Today, I’m focused exclusively on helping small and mid-sized businesses leverage AI for growth. My approach is practical, strategic, and designed for immediate impact. Recent Wins Last year I lead the development of an IoT data pipeline for a healthcare startup. We built a fully functional AI-augmented system in 3 months (instead of the expected 12). Their platform now processes millions of data points per user per week with 2-3 second latency between event and alert — all while keeping operating costs under $1K/month for hundreds of users.
