AI Consulting | Automation & Custom Dashboards

I architect AI-powered systems that transform business operations, automate workflows, cut costs, and create measurable competitive advantage.

About

I've shipped production systems across agencies, healthcare, and retail, from App Store mobile apps to multi-account analytics platforms. Each project started with a founder or operator who had a real problem, and I owned the full lifecycle: discovery, design, development, and deployment.

My experience spans translating expert knowledge into AI products, building systems that replace entire outsourced teams, and creating solutions that shift customer behaviour overnight. I've worked with agency owners managing multiple Meta accounts, coaching businesses scaling and automating customer service, and independent businesses losing margin to commission fees.

What sets my work apart is the combination of full ownership and real business impact. I don't just code, I diagnose problems, design solutions, and deploy systems that deliver measurable results.

What I Do

1

Solve Your Problem

I build AI automations, dashboards, and chatbots that solve your specific problem. You get a working solution, documentation, and 30 days of support.

2

Keep It Running

I maintain and evolve what we build. One new feature per quarter, ongoing fixes, monthly check-ins, and support when you need it, without hiring full-time.

3

Scale With You

I become your dedicated AI team. 2-3 meaningful projects per month, priority support, roadmap alignment, and the capacity to move fast as you scale.

How I Work

My process:

  • discovery call to understand your problem and constraints
  • identify the root cause, what's actually blocking progress
  • define clear outcomes, timeline, and scope
  • deliver a solution that fits your needs and budget

Online Ordering System

An independent takeaway business was losing ~20% of every order to high-commission delivery platforms like Just Eat and needed a way to capture customers directly, reduce commission costs, and own their customer relationships.

How We Can Work Together

Let's discuss your needs and find the right engagement model for you. Book a discovery call to explore how we can work together.

Project Build

You have a specific problem that needs solving once.

  • Scoped AI automation, dashboard, or chatbot
  • Built, tested, and handed over with documentation
  • 30 days of post-launch support

Examples:

  • AI chatbot for customer questions
  • Automated reporting dashboard
  • Workflow automation

Build + Maintain

You want something built and kept running without hiring full-time.

  • One new build or major feature per quarter
  • Ongoing maintenance and bug fixes
  • Monthly check-in and email support

Agencies, small SaaS companies, operators who need a dev on retainer without the overhead.

Embedded Build Partner

You're scaling and need someone who knows your systems and can move fast.

  • Dedicated build capacity (2-3 projects per month)
  • Priority support and Slack access
  • Monthly planning and roadmap alignment
  • I become your AI team without hiring one

Founders or operators who've validated something and need to scale without losing speed.

I take on only a few clients at a time to ensure quality and focus. This means you get dedicated attention and faster delivery.
