I help businesses identify, build, and deploy automation that saves real time, reduces errors, and frees your team to do work that actually matters.
Your best people are doing work a machine should handle — data entry, report scanning, inbox triage. Every hour reclaimed is an hour back on work that actually moves the business forward.
Manual processes breed inconsistency. Automation applies the same logic every single time — no missed items, no transcription mistakes, no fatigue. The output is reliable because the process is.
The goal isn't just efficiency — it's what you do with the time you get back. My clients use recovered hours to support other teams, take on new projects, and do the strategic work that had always been pushed to later.

PE-backed vendors raise prices every renewal. Your stack costs 3x what it did three years ago. Automation eliminates entire tool categories and reduces headcount dependency.
Faster proposals, shorter sales cycles, new service tiers — without adding headcount. Your competitors are already moving. The window to lead is now.
A finance team spent time each week manually building a payment tracking report — combining client payments, highlighting new activity, flagging refunds, and resetting at month end. A custom automation now generates the full formatted report in seconds: cumulative month-to-date totals, green highlighting for new payments, and a dated tab added automatically on each run. Packaged as a one-click installer that non-technical staff can deploy themselves.
A company with years of accumulated support tickets had no visibility into why the same failures kept repeating. Automated analysis scraped and classified thousands of tickets, surfacing the top 10 fault causes, top 10 resolutions, and median fix times by category — revealing that 63% of tickets were high-priority, hardware replacement took 8+ days to resolve, and nearly 300 tickets per year could have been closed with a simple reboot. The findings were translated into a proactive prevention tool and actionable playbook that reduces ticket volume before issues occur.
A law firm needed to extract and classify information from thousands of pages of documents. What previously required weeks of paralegal time was condensed into hours, with higher accuracy and a full audit trail.
Sales reps were spending hours each week customizing proposals, decks, and one-pagers for different accounts. Automated generation now produces tailored collateral instantly, letting the team spend time selling instead of formatting.
A systems integrator with high hiring volume was bottlenecked on initial screening. Automated workflows now score and filter candidates against role criteria, surfacing a structured shortlist and cutting time-to-shortlist dramatically.
A founder with a novel AI-powered invention needed to file a patent but faced the daunting complexity of prior art research, claim drafting, and technical figure creation. Using AI tools, we researched comparable patents across the USPTO database, identified the strongest areas of novelty, drafted 20 claims covering system, method, and computer-readable medium, and generated all 9 required technical drawing sheets — producing a filing-ready application in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional patent counsel.
An edtech startup had a strong product but struggled to articulate its value in a way that would resonate with school administrators and teachers. Starting from a rough brief and an existing slide deck, AI tools were used to craft a compelling two-sided narrative, restructure the deck around that story, and produce a fully designed, on-brand presentation — with multiple rounds of copy, color, and layout refinement — ready for live demos in front of K-12 decision makers.
Marketing teams regularly commission agencies to produce branded collateral — a slow, expensive cycle of briefs, revisions, and approvals that repeats with every new product launch or campaign. A structured automation workflow now generates a detailed first draft in minutes — typically 80% of the way there, giving the agency a strong foundation to refine rather than build from scratch.
Responding to RFPs consumed entire days of senior staff time. An automation-assisted drafting workflow now produces a solid first draft from source materials within minutes — leaving the team to refine rather than start from scratch.
Market research, competitive analysis, feature mapping, PRD authoring, and full GUI mockup — compressed into weeks using AI tools and vibe coding. The resulting dashboard was detailed enough that the development team said it would save them 70% of the time they'd normally spend interpreting PRD features into actual visualizations.
"What used to take a team of engineers years to spec and build, a single person with the right prompts produced in weeks. Equal parts terrifying and exhilarating — and it permanently changed how I think about what's possible."
Takes a standard employee census file and instantly calculates employer match costs, runs compliance checks, and surfaces rich visualizations of plan participation, contribution breakdowns by age band, gender pay gaps, and catch-up eligibility.
"This analysis used to take days and usually required an actuary. Now it's instant, and anyone on the team can run it. We've never seen anything like it."
Got a workflow eating your team's time? Let's fix it — and put it right here.

A focused session for C-suite and senior leadership. No jargon, no hype — just a clear-eyed look at what AI can realistically do for your organization right now, where the ROI is, and how to avoid the most common mistakes companies make when they start. Designed for decision-makers who need to lead AI adoption, not just approve it.
A half-day, hands-on workshop built for non-developers. No coding, no technical background required — just your team and the tools they already use every day. Participants explore what automation can do for their specific role, work through real examples from their own industry, and leave with practical skills they can apply the next morning.
For individuals or small groups who want to move fast. We work through your specific workflows, tools, and goals in focused sessions — building real automation together, not just talking about it. Popular with founders, senior managers, and anyone who learns best by doing rather than watching.
I spent 30 years at Intel leading product marketing, sales, and business development — including running AI partnership programs that drove adoption across dozens of enterprises. I've sat in the room with the people building the technology and the people trying to use it, and I've learned that the gap between the two is where most projects fail.
Today I work directly with companies as an individual consultant. That means you get senior attention on every project, not a junior team handed the work after the pitch. I move fast, I work independently, and I build things that last after I leave.
I'm also a Venture Partner at the Oregon Venture Fund, a guest lecturer at Stanford, and a mentor at the Founders Institute — which means I stay close to what's genuinely working in AI right now, not just in theory.
Seasoned product and technology leader with 30+ years at Intel. Led AI partnership programs, drove foundational Wi-Fi innovation, and now helps companies turn automation from a buzzword into a business advantage.
Automation challenges look different in every industry. Here's where I've done the work.
