Behind every creative person, every small and growing business, is an Alfred. There comes a point in the development of every business where if an organizational overhaul doesn't take place, scaling isn't possible. That's where I come in.
You might know exactly what you want, or you might have a general sense of unease. Many business owners know there are things that can be done better, but they aren't sure where to start and don't have the time to figure it out.
I've spent years honing a carefully curated (but extensive) list of skills by working with small business teams and as a freelancer. These various experiences have given me invaluable insights into different industries, processes, tools and departments. I've had my hands in dozens of different projects and this has allowed me to analyze businesses and develop custom solutions.
I've also worked really hard to become acclimated to as much technology as possible. I'm certified in Asana, Notion, Make.com, Quickbooks, Trainual and Gorgias. I'm expert-level in Clickup, Trello, Monday, Processstreet, Jira, Confluence, Hubspot, Hubstaff, Harvest, Front, and many more.
Some of my specialty areas include:
- Day to day direct executive support, project management or operations management
- Acting as team communication leader and project manager ensuring efficient information sharing
- Process development
- Analyzing, streamlining and automating workflows
- Tool recommendations, data migration, set up and training
- Financials (Quickbooks, data transfers, budgets, action plans) I am a certified Quickbooks Pro Advisor! I am certified to help you optimize your usage of Quickbooks.
- I specialize in choosing, setting up and executing project management software. I am well versed in all major options. I am also an Asana Together Certified Pro and Notion Certified.
- Developing, launching and leading initiatives regarding efficiency, organization, team building, marketing, hiring, and more.
- Resource management including HR, payroll and employee engagement
- Long term goal planning, and breaking down those goals into achievable projects with specific steps and due dates
- Putting out fires, reducing bottlenecks, and keeping things from falling through the cracks

AI Engineering Lead & Full-Stack Builder | 10+ Years | AWS Accelerator | Anthropic Built with Claude
Most people hire either a business consultant who doesn't code or an engineer who can't translate. I'm the one who bridges both - fluent in your business problem and in the architecture to solve it. I've shipped AI systems that cut 80% off planning cycles, processed 90% faster with zero dependencies, and served 100K+ users in production. I don't prototype and hand off. I own outcomes.
1 of 500 selected from 13,000+ applicants for Anthropic's Built with Claude 2026. AWS Impact Accelerator alumni.
What I've shipped:
→ forwward — Built in 7 days at the Anthropic hackathon. A spec-driven autonomous coding agent that takes client meetings and Slack threads and opens a reviewable GitHub PR - requirements, PRD, TDD, implementation, and tests. Zero human touch. Like Cursor, but fully autonomous.
→ Project Solve — AI agent for capital energy project planning. Reduced FEL cycle time by 80%. Working prototype in front of real users in 4 weeks.
→ EngageIQx — Multi-modal agentic analytics system: 4+ specialized agents handling ETL, schema mapping, churn prediction, and AI recommendations. 90% faster data processing, zero external dependencies.
→ Instant Cash-Out at Homebase — Ruby on Rails + Plaid, same-day earned wage access for 100K+ hourly workers in production.
What I build:
AI Agents & RAG Systems — LangChain/LangGraph pipelines, tool-use agents, evaluators, guardrails, custom knowledge bases. Production-grade, not demos.
Voice AI — Retell AI + Vapi inbound/outbound flows for lead qualification, bookings, and support. Orchestrated via n8n or Make.
Full-Stack Web/Mobile — Next.js, React Native, FastAPI, Node.js, Postgres/Supabase/Mongo. Deployed on Vercel, Railway, AWS Lambda.
Fintech — Stripe, Plaid, Braintree, KYC/AML compliance, encrypted storage, payout systems, reconciliation dashboards.
Agentic Workflows — Multi-agent orchestration, spec-driven coding agents, MCP integrations, workflow automation at scale.
Stack (what I actually use daily):
AI: Claude API, LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, Vercel AI SDK
Automation: n8n, Make, Retell AI, Vapi, Composio
Web: Next.js, React, FastAPI, Node, Postgres, Supabase
Backend: Python, Go
Hosting: GCP, Firebase, Render, Vercel, Railway, AWS (Lambda/API Gateway/Bedrock)
Prototyping: Claude code— when speed is the deliverable
How I work:
Rapid prototype → defensible architecture → observability + tests → clean handoff.
You get honest tradeoffs on cost, latency, and reliability — plus documentation that doesn't require me to explain it.
Best fit: founders and technical teams who need someone to own the AI layer AND the surrounding product without hand-holding. If you want to move fast without accumulating technical debt, we'll get along.
One honest thing:
If your project needs a committee, I'm not it. I work best with decision-makers who know what they want to learn and want to learn it fast.
