Fractional CTO · AI & automation

AI that does real work, not demos.

I map where your team loses time to repeatable document and data tasks, decide what’s worth automating, and build workflows that run reliably in production.

What it is

Not chatbots. I audit how your operations actually run, find where manual effort creates risk or delay, and automate it: document processing, data extraction, approval routing, compliance checks and report generation.

I use Claude’s API for the language-heavy steps and connect it to the systems you already have. Every workflow ships with logging and error alerts.

What I lead or deliver

Automation at fixed prices

Fixed prices, per outcome rather than per hour. You pay your own tool and AI subscriptions directly, at cost.
