Systems Architect & Strategist
I architect AI operating systems, revenue infrastructure, and automation that non-technical owners can actually run.
Nine years shipping production software: 55+ client sites, a live SaaS with paying users, and a productized AI audit and AIOS systems integration.
Four systems, start to finish: problem, architecture, and what actually happened.
Taken from blank page to a live SaaS product. I owned the whole stack: concept, brand, UI, front-end, hosted backend, and deploy pipeline.
Stored records were silently disappearing for heavy users: the API layer was capping reads at 1,000 rows without erroring. Diagnosed and fixed with paginated fetching.
Data warehouse with scheduled collectors pulling live signals from payment, project-management, and outbound APIs. Always-on agent reachable by voice or text. Meeting pipeline that transcribes, classifies, and surfaces action items unattended.
Most AI proposals sell a tool. This sells a map: structured discovery, opportunity scoring by impact against effort, recommended architecture, and a 90-day roadmap.
An engine that turns raw audit material into a branded interactive proposal: opportunity matrix, drag-and-drop roadmap, live pricing calculator.
Attention without infrastructure. Every piece existed somewhere; nothing was connected, and nothing could take money.
The entire stack on one platform: site, email, customer records, lifecycle automation, and packaged digital products.
Thirteen years across engineering, sales, operations, and running my own companies.
AI systems and revenue-ops consulting: readiness audits, custom AI Operating System installs, and end-to-end revenue infrastructure for creators and owner-operated businesses.
AI transformation consultancy for owner-operated SMBs. Invented a five-layer AI maturity model, productized the AI Readiness Audit, and built the data warehouses, meeting intelligence, and agent infrastructure behind every install. Engagements $2.5K–$19.5K.
Digital marketing agency: web design and development as the core service, LinkedIn lead generation, full ownership of sales through delivery. Peak revenue month: $23K.
Roughly 50 client websites and 3,000+ digital assets across brand, web, UX, and revenue systems: including the 250K-follower creator revenue stack above.
Placed on client engineering teams. Shipped production features in React, Angular, and Vue: including a web-based testing application for Verizon Wireless. Agile delivery throughout.
Educational travel sales to music educators across the US and Canada. Generated $260K in revenue, exceeding benchmark, across a two-country territory.
Infrastructure monitoring across 200+ physical and virtual machines with Zabbix: alert triage, threshold configuration, escalation, and support operations.
Education: B.M.A. Vocal Performance, Brigham Young University–Idaho · Front-End Web Development Bootcamp, The Iron Yard (2017) · Japanese: conversational, two years full immersion.
Working software, designed and shipped end to end. One has paying users; the rest are live builds.
Tile-based link organizer. Full-stack SaaS with hosted backend, Stripe payments, and CI/CD.
One-page CRM and contact cockpit: turns an uploaded CSV into a scored, filterable outbound work queue.
Rapid workflow builder: describe a process in plain language, AI converts it into an interactive flowchart with bottleneck detection.
Node-based revenue modeling: map and calculate unrealized revenue scenarios visually instead of in a spreadsheet.
Raw client audit material in, branded interactive proposal out: opportunity matrix, roadmap, live pricing.
Coached decision-making tool: a nine-stage framework from naming the decision to tracking what actually happened.
Personal finance application: tracks financial resources and prioritizes where the next dollar of extra income goes.
Passive income tracker: models multiple income streams feeding one financial picture.
Applied, not aspirational: everything here shows up in the work above.
The disciplines I apply to every system.
Blank page to working first version, fast enough that people react to a real thing instead of a description.
I sit in the engineering room and the business room, and own the document both sides agree describes reality.
I'm colorblind, which became a discipline: hierarchy comes from weight, spacing, and rule: legible to everyone.
Clear inputs, clear outputs, no black boxes. Documented well enough that someone else can own it.
APIs, webhooks, and AI models connected into workflows that run without human intervention.
Years of explaining technical things to people who don't want a lecture: support lines, classrooms, stages, kitchen tables. Conversational Japanese: two years full immersion.
Real clients, real quotes.

Small teams, high autonomy, real problems to solve.
I'm looking for teams where I can architect real systems and make them make sense to the people who have to live with them.
