How I Work

Find your fit

AI in Action

See what I build

My Work

Show, don't tell

What I actually do

You don't need another advisor. You need someone who'll get in the weeds with you, part-time, until the problem's solved.

Strategy

Not the 50-page kind. The "here's who we're selling to and why they'll buy" kind. Positioning, pricing, go-to-market. Stuff you can act on this week.

AI & Automation

I don't just talk about AI. I build with Claude, GPT, and custom agents daily. If there's a workflow you're doing manually, let's automate it.

Product

Too many features, not enough shipped? I'll help you cut scope, sequence what matters, and actually launch. User research included when you need it.

Operations

Your processes are held together with duct tape and Slack threads. I'll untangle them. Hiring, vendors, metrics, the boring stuff that's quietly killing your momentum.

How it works

No mystery. Just momentum.

I'm not here to sit in your meetings or produce decks nobody reads. I work alongside you, hands on keyboard, until the problem's fixed.

Most engagements run 10-20 hours a week. Some are shorter sprints. We figure out what makes sense after we talk.

1

We talk

15 minutes. You tell me what's broken. I ask annoying questions.

2

I scope it

You get a clear proposal. Hours, outcomes, timeline. No surprises.

3

We ship

I embed with your team. Build, fix, automate. Whatever it takes.

Fit Check

Would we work well together?

I'm selective about who I work with—and you should be too. Here's how to know if we're a good match.

We'll click if you...

  • →Want someone in the trenches, not on the sidelines
  • →Value speed and iteration over perfection
  • →Are open to AI-first approaches
  • →Need ops, product, or GTM momentum—fast
  • →Prefer direct feedback over diplomatic hedging

Maybe not if you...

  • →Need someone to validate existing plans, not challenge them
  • →Want lengthy discovery phases and big decks
  • →Prefer consensus-building over decisive action
  • →Are skeptical of AI's near-term impact
  • →Need someone available full-time

Got something stuck?

Whether it's a launch that won't ship, ops that won't scale, or a strategy that lives in your head, let's talk. 15 minutes, no pitch.
