AI Enablement
Not vanity metrics. Not shelf-ware. Shipped capability your team actually uses.
I work with founders and owners who've already spent on AI and can't point to what it changed. I build the paved-road workflows — the default, supported way to do a task, so nobody has to invent their own — plus the integrations and practices that make the spend stick.

Everyone has their own AI setup, and nobody's gains get shared.
You're paying for four AI subscriptions and can't say which ones matter.
AI spend hasn't translated into business velocity improvement, and you can't say why.
AI-generated PRs are piling up in review, and your senior engineer is the bottleneck.
Three people built the same internal tool last quarter.
On-call load went up after adoption, not down.
Recent Results
35% more throughput
GenAI workflows adopted by a non-technical team, measured against their prior baseline.
76% faster
A content pipeline blowing its latency budget now runs in a quarter of the time. (Two-stage model routing, prompt caching.)
33% lower spend
Same pipeline, same output, a third less token spend.
$1M ARR in 18 months
Zero to first million with a small team.
Before that
Fifteen years of production engineering across commerce, healthtech, and fintech. 87% load time reduction, 12× faster feature shipping, $5M in new revenue shipped. The AI work rests on knowing what production actually costs.
Previously CTO at Myna; led engineering at The RealReal, Decorist, and Portico.
How Adoption Lands
Mandates buy you malicious compliance. Every rollout I run has to clear the skeptical staff engineer before it goes anywhere near a company-wide announcement.
Adoption earns its way forward one demonstrated win at a time. I build around existing enthusiasm rather than squashing the innovation already happening.
Platform teams resent a parallel stack, and they're right to. Paved-road workflows run on the controls, CI, and review gates you already maintain.
Every agent gets onboarded like an employee — scoped access, information masking, and a closed data exfiltration path before it touches anything real.
How I Work
Engagements are scoped by adoption stage, not by headcount you're trying to backfill.
Crawl · 2 Weeks · Fixed Scope
In two weeks, I find your highest-leverage workflow, build a working 80% version using AI, and train your team to run it. You walk away with something real that's already running, not a report telling you what to build later.
Run · Ongoing · Monthly Retainer
Full ownership of the function. I stand up a distributed champions network — one point person per team who owns adoption, so it doesn't depend on me — hold the roadmap, and make the build-vs-buy calls that keep tool sprawl from returning. You get a function that runs without me in the room, with a roadmap and owners.
