AI & Automation Consultant

Systems that run without you.

I find the work your team shouldn't be doing by hand, build the automation and AI that takes it over, and hand you a system that keeps running after I leave. Scoped to real ROI. Documented so you own it.

01 / The problem

The work you shouldn't be doing.

Most businesses are sitting on automation potential they don't even know about. Tools that don't talk to each other. A team doing the same tasks on repeat. Data that gets collected and never acted on. Here's where it usually hides.

01

Manual processes that eat hours every week and depend on one person to remember how they work.

02

Disconnected platforms where data gets copy-pasted by hand instead of flowing automatically.

03

Leads and customers who fall through the cracks because nobody followed up in time.

04

Reports someone rebuilds by hand every week instead of letting them generate themselves.

05

AI tools the team has heard about but nobody has figured out how to actually put to work.

06

Systems held together by a person, not a process, so everything stalls the moment they're out.

I find these gaps and build the systems that close them, so your team can focus on the work that actually moves the needle.

02 / Services & investment

Not sure which fits? Start with a free discovery call. I'll scope it honestly, and if I can't help, I'll tell you that too.

03 / How it works

Simple on your end. Precise on mine.

Four steps from first call to a system that runs itself. You always know what's happening and when you'll hear from me.

01

Discovery call

A free 45-minute call to understand your business and find the highest-impact opportunity.

02

Proposal

A clear proposal with scope, timeline, and a real ROI estimate built from your own numbers.

03

Build

I build, test, and refine, with a progress update at every milestone. No surprises.

04

Handoff

Full documentation, a Loom walkthrough, and a system that runs without you touching it.

04 / Why work with me

A builder who gets business, not just tools.

Outcomes over outputs

I don't just build automations. I build automations tied to real business results. Every project comes with an ROI estimate, so you know what you're getting before you invest.

I find problems you didn't know you had

My discovery process is built to surface automation opportunities your team has accepted as normal. Most clients leave the first call with ideas they'd never considered.

Everything is documented

You'll never be dependent on me to keep the lights on. Every project ships with full documentation and a walkthrough so your team owns what was built.

AI-native, not AI-curious

I use Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini in my own workflow every day. I know how to build with AI practically, not theoretically.

05 / Tools & platforms

The stack I build in.

Make.com Klaviyo HubSpot Salesforce Attentive Claude AI ChatGPT Gemini Marketo Shopify Google Suite Notion Typeform Asana

Don't see your tool? I learn fast. If it has an API or a native integration, there's likely a way to connect it.

The return

Before you invest, you see exactly what you get back.

Every proposal includes a projected ROI based on your actual numbers. I calculate the cost of your current manual work and the value of automating it, so the investment is a decision, not a leap.

06 / Portfolio

A track record in lifecycle & automation.

Before consulting, I spent years as a marketing technologist building the automated lifecycle programs behind major sports, entertainment, and e-commerce brands. I'm also open to the right full-time role.

For hiring managers: I bridge marketing strategy and hands-on build. I know why a lifecycle program matters and I can architect the automation that runs it. The full portfolio walks through six programs with the strategy, the systems, and the documented business impact.

Background

I'm a marketing technologist specializing in lifecycle marketing, CRM architecture, and automation. I've built behavioral email and SMS programs that turn customer data into measurable revenue, from POS-triggered engines to full platform migrations and deliverability turnarounds. I'm AI-native: I use Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini in my workflow every day, and I care about outcomes over outputs on every build.
