    Three problems, three shipped systems.

    Most AI projects stall in the gap between the deck and the demo. These didn't.

    Tax resolution platform
    Founding product engineer
    Zero to launch

    Problem. Tax resolution firms were losing their margin to reading mail. IRS notices arrive as unstructured letters, each with its own type, deadline, and required response, and every one was being processed by hand.

    Build. I cut the MVP to the notice types consuming the most firm-hours, then designed the ingestion and classification flow that takes a raw notice through identification, extraction of case-specific facts, and a drafted response. I built the product surface end to end and defined the technical contract for the backend team.

    10+ firms signed within weeks of launch. The company is now progressing toward a seven-figure raise.
    Regulated fund platform
    Wealth & asset management
    3 months

    Problem. Partner integrations were slow and bespoke, capping how fast distribution could scale, while KYC and AML obligations constrained every design option on the table.

    Build. I owned API product strategy end to end: schemas and integration contracts, data models for AUM tracking, transaction history and custodian reconciliation, plus KYC/AML and investor onboarding flows. Delivered as a phased roadmap rather than a single cutover, alongside an internal LLM tool for fund document summarisation.

    Partner integration time down 40% across 60+ partners. Analyst document review time cut 70%.
    Global industrial manufacturer
    CFO office
    4 months

    Problem. Finance reporting described what had already happened. Processes were never mapped end to end, so no number traced back to the operational decision that moved it, and every dashboard generated questions instead of actions.

    Build. I mapped finance and operations processes end to end across the organisation, then rebuilt the business intelligence layer around those workflows rather than around whatever data happened to be available.

    Reporting now surfaces the recommended next move for each operational owner, not the current state.

    How it works

    Three steps, no procurement theatre.

    01
    Call

    Thirty minutes. You describe the problem, I tell you whether it's a sprint, a build, or something you shouldn't do at all.

    02
    Scope

    A one-page scope with fixed price, deliverables, and dates. No estimate ranges, no change-order games.

    03
    Ship

    Working software every week. You see progress in the product, not in a status report.

    Fit

    Worth a call, or worth skipping.

    A good fit if
    • You have an AI roadmap and nobody who owns it
    • Your prototype works in a notebook and nowhere else
    • You need one senior person, not an agency team
    • You'd rather buy an outcome than a rate card
    • You work in financial services, industrials, supply chain, or professional services
    Not a fit if
    • You want staff augmentation by the hour
    • You need a team of ten starting Monday
    • The deliverable is a strategy deck nobody will build
    • Scope is expected to move weekly
    • You're shopping purely on price

    Tell me what's stuck.

    Thirty minutes. If I'm not the right call, I'll say so and point you somewhere better.
