Why me

I'm a builder who actually ran the ops — a decade of program management plus hands-on engineering. I take 2–3 clients at a time, ship working software every Friday, and leave your team running the system after I'm gone. No agency middle layer, no offshore handoff.

If any of this sounds familiar.

Your ops person is the bottleneck.

Every workflow runs through one human. They're great. They're also drowning. The work doesn't scale, and you can't hire your way out of it fast enough.

You're publishing/shipping more, but coordination is breaking.

Editorial routing, client handoffs, QA cycles, capacity planning — the volume grew, the systems didn't.

You know AI should help, but every demo feels like a toy.

You don't need another ChatGPT wrapper. You need production systems that route real work and don't break in week three.

What I actually build.

Not strategy decks. Not workshops. Working systems shipped to production.

WORKFLOW AUTOMATION

Multi-step pipelines that replace coordination work

Routing, scoring, enrichment, and handoffs across your existing tools. The kind of work an ops coordinator does — running 24/7 instead of 9-to-5.

AI INTEGRATION

LLM systems wired into real production workflows

Claude and GPT pipelines that score, classify, summarize, and route — with eval frameworks so you know they actually work, not just look like they work.

OPS INFRASTRUCTURE

QA and capacity systems for delivery teams

Quality scoring, capacity planning, and SLA monitoring frameworks for teams shipping client work or content at volume.

For companies that know they need to move on AI but don't know where to start. Audit, prioritize, ship the first three production wins.

GLOBAL SEO PLATFORM · 50K+ PUBLISHER MARKETPLACE

Routing publisher inputs without a human in the loop

The problem

A two-sided marketplace was processing hundreds of publisher submissions weekly through manual review and routing. The ops team was the bottleneck for every transaction, and quality was inconsistent across reviewers.

The build

A Zoom → n8n → Claude pipeline that captured intake calls, scored submissions against a structured rubric, routed approved publishers into the right marketplace tier, and flagged edge cases for human review. Eval framework wrapped around it to monitor scoring drift over time.

The result

review-cycle time cut
98%

MID-MARKET SERVICES ORGANIZATION

Standing up an AI transformation function from zero

The problem

A multi-team services company knew they were behind on AI but had no internal capability, no roadmap, and no clear first wins. Leadership wanted real production deployments, not a pilot graveyard.

The build

90-day audit and roadmap covering 12 candidate workflows. Prioritized three for immediate build: client deliverable QA, capacity planning, and contract intake. Shipped all three to production with adoption tracking and team training.

The result
3
production AI workflows shipped in Q1
40%
reduction in deliverable QA cycle time

SALES + SUPPORT OPERATIONS

AI call scoring at scale

The problem

A team handling thousands of customer calls per week had no scalable way to monitor quality. Manual QA covered ~5% of calls; the other 95% were a black box.

The build

An automated call scoring system using Claude to evaluate every transcript against a multi-dimensional rubric, surface coaching moments, and flag at-risk accounts in real time. Dashboard for team leads, weekly trend reports for leadership.

The result
100%
call coverage vs. 5% manual baseline
12x
increase in coaching insights surfaced

// HOW A PILOT WORKS

What a pilot looks like.

Three phases, fixed scope, working software at the end. Most pilots run 4–8 weeks end-to-end, sized to the workflow you bring.

01Week 1 · 3–5 days

Discovery

We map the workflow that's hurting, the systems it touches, and what success actually means in numbers.

I deliver
  • Workflow + systems map
  • Written problem brief
  • Success metrics agreed up front
You provide
  • 30–60 min walkthrough call
  • Read access to current tools
  • 1–2 real examples (briefs, calls, docs)
02Week 2 · 3–5 days

System design

I send a written teardown of how I'd build it — architecture, integrations, edge cases, what's automated vs. left manual — and we agree on scope before any code is written.

I deliver
  • 8–12 page system teardown
  • Architecture + data-flow diagram
  • Fixed scope and weekly milestones
You provide
  • Async review + written feedback
  • One decision-maker on the sign-off
  • API keys / sandbox access where needed
03Weeks 3–8

Build & ship

2–6 week sprints depending on scope. Weekly Friday demos, working software at the end of every week, production deploy by the final sprint.

I deliver
  • Working software shipped weekly
  • Friday demo + Loom recap
  • Production deploy + runbook
You provide
  • 30 min/week on the Friday demo
  • Production credentials at deploy
  • An internal owner for handoff
// SAMPLE OUTPUTS

What you actually get.

Three artifacts every pilot ships. Anonymized previews — the real ones come with your workflow, your systems, your edge cases.

01 · Discovery

Workflow map

Every step of the current process drawn out — owners, systems, handoffs, and where it breaks. The bottleneck stops being a feeling and becomes a diagram.

  • → Step-by-step diagram
  • → Owners + systems annotated
  • → Bottlenecks flagged
02 · System design

Automation spec

An 8–12 page written teardown of how I'd build it: triggers, actions, integrations, edge cases, what's automated vs. left manual. Reads like a real engineering doc, not a deck.

  • → Triggers + actions defined
  • → Edge cases + fallbacks
  • → Permissions + integrations plan
03 · Build

AI pipeline design

The actual LLM pipeline — prompts, eval rubric, confidence thresholds, and the human-in-the-loop boundary. Plus the eval harness so you can tell when it drifts and fix it without me.

  • → Prompts + rubric versioned
  • → Confidence thresholds + fallback
  • → Eval harness + drift monitor
ABOUT

I've been building production systems for a decade.

My background spans program management at scale (PMP, CSPO, ITIL certified) and hands-on technical builds — production AI pipelines, automation systems, custom SaaS. I work best with founders and operators who want to ship real systems, not buy more software. I'm based in Toronto, take on 2–3 clients at a time, and care more about your team being able to run the system after I leave than about looking impressive on a deck.

// FOUNDER FAQ

The questions founders actually ask.

How certain is the timeline, really?

·Agencies slip 4–8 weeksFixed dates by week 2

Week 2 ends with a fixed scope, fixed price, and fixed milestone dates — signed before a line of build code is written. If I'm going to slip, you hear about it on the Friday demo, not the deadline.

What stops scope from creeping mid-build?

·Surprise invoicesLocked at System Design

Scope is locked at the System Design milestone. New asks go into a shared backlog and either swap for something equal-sized or become a small change-order. No silent additions, no surprise invoices.

What actually happens after handoff?

·You're on your ownRunbook + 30 days support

You get a runbook, a 60-min training session with whoever owns it internally, and 30 days of bug-fix support included. After that, an optional light retainer if you want me on call — but the goal is your team running the system without me.

What if my team can't maintain it once you leave?

·Bespoke black boxn8n · TS · Postgres

I build on tools your team can read — n8n, TypeScript, Postgres, Supabase — not bespoke frameworks. Every workflow ships with a runbook and an eval harness so you can tell when something drifts and fix it without me.

Do I need to know what to build before we start?

·Bring a full specBring the painful workflow

No. Discovery week exists for that. You bring the workflow that's hurting; I bring the teardown, the architecture, and a written recommendation. If it's not worth building, I'll tell you on the call.

How do you price this — and what if my budget is tight?

·Rate card, take it or leave itScoped to your problem

There's no rate card. Pricing is scoped to the workflow you're trying to fix — a lean pilot for an early-stage team looks different from a multi-system rollout for a 200-person org. Tell me the constraint (budget ceiling, deadline, the smallest slice that would matter) and I'll come back with a pilot shape that fits — or tell you straight if it doesn't. Most engagements can be carved into a smaller first slice, phased rollout, or flexible payment cadence. The goal is an engagement you actually say yes to, not a quote you ghost.

Let's see if there's a fit.

30 minutes. No deck. You walk me through the workflow that's eating your team's hours, I tell you straight whether I can help.
