What I do

AI Workflow Audit

Map your current operations. Identify where AI creates leverage vs. noise. Walk away with a prioritized implementation plan.

Custom Systems

When off-the-shelf doesn't hold the weight. Custom AI agents, internal tools, automation shaped to your actual workflow instead of bending you to its API.

Operational Architecture

Design systems that hold under load. Agent orchestration, data pipelines, automation that scales without brittleness.

Creative Tech Integration

Generative media, audio-reactive systems, interactive experiences. The work that lives at the intersection of engineering and art.
