Official site for my AI readiness, engineering, software, and creative work.

I help teams question why their systems still work the way they do in 2026, then design practical AI readiness, efficiency, and custom software solutions from first principles. Lectures and workshops are part of that work; the bigger aim is learning your business and building what actually moves it forward.

Start here: talks, workshops, AI readiness, efficiency engineering, and custom software for specific industries.

The question 2026

Why do you still do it this way?

Most companies haven't asked why they still do what they do in 2026. Workflows outlive the reasons they were built. Tools get layered on top of habits. The opportunity isn't more software — it's better questions, then the right software. That's where I start.

Question that
starts everything
What I do in order
01

Learn the business

I start inside your operation, not inside a slide deck. How work actually flows, where time goes, what people quietly route around. You can't make a system AI-ready without understanding the system.

02

Question from first principles

Every workflow gets one question: why does this still exist? Some processes earn their keep. Most are habits wearing a process costume. We separate the two before touching any technology.

03

Engineer the efficiency

AI readiness and efficiency engineering, designed for your reality — not a generic transformation roadmap. Practical changes that compound: data that's usable, steps that disappear, decisions that get faster.

04

Build what's missing

Custom software for niche and specific industries, where off-the-shelf tools don't fit how you actually work. Industry agnostic, solution specific. Built end-to-end, by an engineer who learned your business first.

The easiest way to start

Book a lecture, talk, or workshop.

A focused session on AI readiness for your team or event — what's real, what's hype, and what it means for your operation. Comes with free AI learning resources to take away. The simplest first step.
