Who I Am
AI that actually ships.
I'm Dave. I help small and mid-sized teams turn AI from a slide deck into a working system — with a real project plan, a real cost model, and a measurable outcome.
The work isn't replacing people with AI.
It's redesigning the workflow around it.
Most teams I meet have already paid for the tools. What they're missing is the engineering rigor — the plumbing, the guardrails, the handoffs — that turns a clever demo into something the business can actually rely on. That's the gap I close.
Operational lift
Quotes, intake, scheduling, billing — the boring loops eating your week. I rebuild them around models that handle the routine and escalate the rest.
Consulting time, on tap
Prepaid blocks of senior consulting hours your team can spend on whatever's actually slowing them down — strategy calls, vendor reviews, second opinions, policy drafting. No project to scope; just call when you need help.
Knowledge that compounds
Your SOPs, contracts, tickets, and call transcripts — searchable, summarized, and connected. The institutional knowledge stops walking out the door.
Governance that holds up
Policy, access control, audit trails. The boring half of AI that decides whether your project survives its first compliance review.
Three rules I don't bend.
Outcomes, not adjectives
Every engagement opens with a written outcome — what changes, by when, measured how. If we can't write it down, we shouldn't sign it.
Plain language only
No jargon stacking, no acronym soup. If a stakeholder can't repeat the plan back to you in one sentence, the plan isn't done.
Ship something small first
A working slice in week three beats a perfect plan in month six. We pick the smallest useful win and build out from a system that already runs.
Have a project in mind? Let's talk.
A 30-minute call is enough to tell you whether AI is the right answer, and what it would cost to find out. No deck, no pitch.
