AI Systems Engineer · Creative Director · Los Angeles.

I BUILD THE MACHINES BEHIND THE WORK.

Businesses don't need more AI tools. They need someone to identify the right problems and build tailored systems that actually solve them. That's what I do.

MOST PEOPLE
BRIEF ENGINEERS.
I OPEN THE
TERMINAL.

Using Claude Code and n8n, I design and ship automation systems that eliminate repetitive work, accelerate decision-making, and scale output without scaling headcount.

Most people who build AI systems have never run a team, owned a budget, or been accountable for results. With 15+ years leading teams and owning P&Ls, I understand how work actually moves through a business: where it slows down, where it gets duplicated, and where the real ROI is hiding. I'm not just here to build. I'm here to diagnose what's actually worth building — and that's a different skill entirely.

CRAFT
THAT
CONVERTS

I started in network television and spent the next 15 years moving deeper into performance, strategy, and the operational side of creative businesses. I've led teams, owned P&Ls, and directed productions. But a lot of that time was spent inside startups, building departments that didn't exist yet, with no processes, no precedent, and real pressure to perform.

That's where I learned how businesses actually work — and in recent years, AI is how I make them work better.

That experience is exactly why I build AI systems now. I know what broken processes look like from the inside, which means I know how to fix them and what it actually takes to make a new one stick.

Based in Los Angeles and currently available for consulting, fractional leadership, or custom AI system builds.

Why Smart Creators Are Hiring an AI Partner Before Their Rivals Do

AI is table stakes now. The platforms punish lazy AI, not AI. The creators who partner up to use it responsibly will scale their brand. The ones who wait get buried in the feed.

Is the Performance Marketing Agency Dead? Let's Discuss.

AI collapsed the production cost floor. Platforms absorbed the optimization layer. The value chain moved from execution to orchestration. Here's where the money goes next.
