AI agents & automation
AI agents that read, sort, summarize and draft, automating repetitive workflows with a person in the loop where it matters.
Private, self-hosted AI
Open models running on your own servers in Docker containers, for data that should never leave your network.
AI-assisted development
Hands-on help adopting Claude Code and AI coding workflows while keeping quality, security and review standards high.
Approach
How an AI project works
Start small, measure the benefit, then grow what works.
01
Find the opportunity
We pick one task where AI can clearly save time, and agree on how success will be measured.
02
Choose safely
I recommend a model and hosting option that fits your budget, accuracy needs and data sensitivity.
03
Build & test
I build the solution, ground it in your data and test it against real questions before anyone relies on it.
04
Launch & improve
Your team gets training and documentation, and I tune the system as real usage comes in.
Experience
An engineer who uses AI every day
I am a senior software engineer with over 20 years of experience, and I use AI-assisted development with Claude Code in my own daily work. That means recommendations based on what actually works in production, built by someone who also understands the software around it.
Years of work in healthcare and financial services, including HIPAA and PCI requirements, shape how I handle your data. Read more about me.
AI works best alongside
Security-first design
Access controls and data privacy are designed in from day one, so AI tools don't open new risks.
Websites & web apps
AI assistants and LLM features built into your website or web application.
FAQ
AI consulting questions
Short answers to what clients ask most often.
What does an AI consultant do for a small business?
An AI consultant finds the places where AI can save real time or money in your business, recommends the right tools, and then builds and integrates them. For most small businesses that means AI assistants that answer questions from your own documents, automation of repetitive work, and AI features added to software you already use.
Which AI models and tools do you work with?
I work with the major hosted large language models through their APIs, as well as open models you can run on your own hardware. I also use AI coding tools such as Claude Code every day in my own software development. The right choice depends on cost, accuracy and how sensitive your data is.
Can AI be used without sending our data to a third party?
Yes. When data must stay in-house, open models can run on your own servers or in a private container, so prompts and documents never leave your network. Where hosted models are a better fit, I limit what data they can see and use business plans that do not train on your data.
How do you make sure AI answers are accurate?
AI tools are grounded in your own approved documents and data rather than relying on what the model happens to know, and they are tested against real questions before launch. For anything important, the design keeps a person in the loop to review the output.
How long does an AI project take?
A focused first project, such as an internal assistant or one automated workflow, typically takes a few weeks from first conversation to launch. Starting small lets you measure the benefit before investing further.
Do you help teams adopt AI coding tools?
Yes. I use AI-assisted development with Claude Code in my own work and can help development teams set it up, build good habits around it, and keep code quality, security and review standards high while moving faster.
