I help Canadian businesses ship real AI — not pilots that die in PowerPoint.
20 years building software. Now I help operators figure out where AI actually moves the needle inside their business — and then ship the systems that prove it. Based in Waterloo, working with companies across Canada.
How to work with me
Most engagements start with a two-week audit. Then we ship.
AI Operations Audit
I spend two weeks inside your business — talking to your team, looking at your tools, watching how work actually flows — and hand you a written playbook of the ten highest-leverage AI plays you can ship in the next 90 days, ranked by impact and effort, with implementation paths for each.
You walk away with a clear roadmap, an honest read on what's worth your money and what isn't, and the option to have me build any of it.
Book the auditBuild & deploy
Once the audit identifies the right play — voice agent, embedded chatbot, internal AI tool, custom data pipeline — I'll build and ship it. Fixed-scope or retainer.
Fractional CTO / advisory
Ongoing strategic input for founders and operators who need a senior technical brain in the room — architecture, hiring, AI strategy — without a full-time hire.
