I install AI agents that run your back office.
For founder-led service businesses, 5 to 25 people, where everything still routes through the founder. I take one manual workflow at a time, build the agent that handles it, and stay until your team runs it without me.

Nodding at two or more? Book the call. If your business isn't ready for automation yet, I'll tell you that on the call. Free.
A fixed path from first call to running system.
No open-ended retainers, no phased consulting roadmap. Each step has a defined output, and each step earns the next.
Fifteen minutes on how work happens today
Before we talk about AI at all, we talk about the work. Who does what, how often, how long it takes. If there's nothing worth automating yet, I'll say so and point you somewhere useful. No charge for honesty.
The Diagnostic
I map one workflow end to end: the people, the volume, the tools, the failure points. You get one of two things. A scoped install plan with a fixed price, or a straight memo on why you shouldn't build yet and what has to change first. I'd rather tell you “not yet” than take your money to discover it slowly.
The Install
One agent, fixed scope, fixed price. Built on infrastructure I run in my own business every day, deployed in your tools, with a named person on your team trained to own it. Done means running.
Care
I monitor, tune, and extend what's installed. Agents drift when nobody watches them. Mine are watched, with the same fleet tooling I use on my own systems. When the first agent proves out, the next workflow is usually obvious.
One workflow at a time.
Every install targets work that already happens manually, at real volume, with a stable process. If it isn't happening today, there's nothing to automate. I'll tell you that up front.
Inbox & Ops Relay
Inbound email triaged, routed, and drafted against your conventions. Escalations flagged to a human. The founder out of the loop for everything routine.
Client Onboarding
From signed to kicked off without anyone chasing checklists. Intake, documents, scheduling, first-week follow-through. Handled.
Reporting & Prep
Weekly client reports, meeting prep, internal status. The recurring documents nobody enjoys writing, written before anyone asks.
Content Operations
Raw material in, drafts out, human review gate in the middle. A publishing pipeline that runs whether or not anyone feels inspired.
I run my own business on these systems.
Every install starts as infrastructure I built to run my own operation, pressure-tested on my business before it touches yours.
Everything I install for clients starts as something I built to run my own operation: the daily brief, the meeting prep, the inbox relay, the monitoring layer that watches all of it. By the time a pattern reaches your business, it's been running in mine.
Client installs are recent and specific. Ask on the call and I'll walk you through what's deployed and for whom.
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.
AI operations infrastructure is core to what I do. It's 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.
Every engagement starts with the diagnostic.
No exceptions. It's how I make sure there's something real to build before you spend install money. It protects us both.
Workflow Diagnostic
I map one workflow end to end and verify it's safe to hand to an agent: the people, the volume, the tools, the failure points.
You get a scoped install plan with a fixed price, or an honest memo on why you shouldn't automate yet and what needs to change first. Either way, you leave with something concrete.
Agent Install
One agent, one workflow, deployed in your tools and handling real work. A named person on your team trained to own it.
The exact price is fixed in the diagnostic. No hourly meter, no scope drift. Done means running.
Care
Monitoring, tuning, and extension for what's installed. I watch agent health with the same fleet tooling I use on my own systems and fix drift before you notice it.
When you're ready for the next workflow, it gets scoped here.
Deeper engagements exist. Embedded fractional work and founder advisory, by application, usually after an install. If the first conversation says you need something else entirely, I'll tell you.
Stop routing everything through yourself.
Thirty minutes. We'll talk about how work moves through your business today, and whether there's an agent worth installing. If there isn't, I'll say so.
