I embed for 8 weeks, find the AI that actually moves your numbers, and ship it live into the tools you already use. No slide decks. No pilots that die in review.

For $1M–$25M teams drowning in manual workNext opening: May
01
DiscoverWeek 1–2·$2,500

I sit at your team's desks and watch the actual work. By Friday you get a ranked list — 5–10 AI plays, each scored by effort and hours-saved. Example: HubSpot → Sheets copy-paste, 2-day fix, ~8 hrs/week back.

02
ShipWeek 3–8·$5K–25K

We pick 2–3 and I build them live in your real tools — HubSpot, Airtable, Sheets, n8n, Claude, whatever you're on. Production systems, not prototypes. Your team uses them the week they ship.

03
EvolveMonthly retainer·$1.5K–3K/mo

Models change. New tools ship. Patterns break. I track it so you don't have to — monthly check-ins, quarterly rebuilds when something better comes out.

The Friday promise
If by Friday of week 2 the audit hasn't uncovered at least 10 hours/week of automation you actually want built, we part ways. No phase 2. No invoice. You keep the audit doc.
// Exhibit A
The chat on your right isn't a widget. It's a live example of what I ship — scripted intake, persistent sessions, real-time handoff to my phone. You're testing it right now. And when you hire me, you get me. Not a junior, not a pod, not an account manager.
// Why me

Ten years shipping lifecycle and automation systems at places you've heard of. I'm not a strategist with a deck — I'm the one who sits next to your team, finds where the hours are going, and writes the code that gives them back. Right now I'm contracting at Spotify building AI production tooling that cut email production from 30+ days down to two weeks and took QA time out by 70%. The same patterns work at $1–25M — with less bureaucracy and faster shipping.

Spotify
SFMC + AgentForce · 2025–present

Built API-driven email production tooling saving the team 10–15 hrs/week, plus an AI QA system that runs thousands of previews through LLM-based checks — cut QA time 70% across 10+ weekly campaigns.

ClickUp
Lifecycle + AI personalization · 2022–2024

Multi-armed bandit feature-engagement engine drove a 3-pt NDR lift across paid subscribers. Claude/ChatGPT personalization added 15–20% on open rates. FOMO reactivation pulled 5.7% of dormant users back.

Adobe / Frame.io
Headless CMS + email framework · 2020–2021

Contentful integration and modular template framework cut email production time 60% while scaling newsletter programs to millions of users at 99.9% deliverability.

Who owns the code?

You do. Full source in your repo, running in your accounts on your credentials. When I leave, nothing walks out the door with me — no black box, no call-me-to-debug-it.

What about our data?

I work inside the tools you already own. Nothing gets copied to my machines. Mutual NDA day one if you want one. If you're in a regulated space, I stay inside your compliance envelope and touch exactly what you green-light — nothing more.

Why 8 weeks?

Two weeks to find the right problems — the ones actually worth building. Six weeks to ship them into production. Shorter skips discovery and you end up automating the wrong thing. Longer and you're paying for process instead of code.
