Work with us
Build with AI, properly.
I help founders, teams, and businesses get trustworthy results from AI — the same method behind the products I build. Every engagement starts with a discovery call.
- AI Consulting Hands-on help putting AI to work in your business — strategy, implementation, and the guardrails that keep it trustworthy.
- Training & Workshops Team and business training plus hands-on workshops that get your whole team building with AI, tailored to your stack.
- Speaking Keynotes, talks, and panels on building and operating real AI as one person.
I take a limited number of engagements so each one gets real attention.
How we work
One founder. AI agents. A real operating system.
I build with AI agents under a written operating system — roles, guardrails, and an evidence habit that keeps the output trustworthy. Journal Genie is the proof it works at production quality, and it's the same method I bring to consulting, training, and 1-on-1 sessions.
- constitution a written doc the agents follow
- roles engineering owns code, operations owns the rest
- evidence every claim backed by a command, file, or test
