AI implementation · automation · custom software
I have spent twenty years running businesses and building the systems inside them. Three of those businesses have been sold. I have held the chief marketing officer seat, run a general manager's P&L across two countries, and founded companies of my own.
What I actually do has not changed much in that time. I look at how work moves through a business, find the parts that run on re-keyed data and somebody's memory, and replace them with software. These days that software usually has AI in it. It did not used to. The hard part was never the model.
I still write the code. That is unusual at this level, and it is the reason I can tell you in a first meeting whether something is a two-week build or a six-month one.

I would rather show you a system than a slide. Four client builds, and the numbers that came out of them.
