Often the fix turns out to be software.
It used to be that an operator could only tell you what was broken. Now you can go build the thing that fixes it. Some of what I've built for owners, and a few I built for myself. If you can name the thing eating your week, there's a decent chance it can be built away.
Private equity
A deal-sourcing engine
A fund wanted more deal flow without hiring analysts. The system finds targets, researches each one, scores it against their thesis, and flags roll-ups, all on a schedule while everybody sleeps.
Analyst-level research for a few dollars a month
Fundraising
A fundraise ops suite
Running a raise is a second full-time job. These agents prep every investor call, turn meeting notes into follow-ups and CRM updates, and keep the contact list fresh, all before Monday morning.
About 10 hours a week back
Education services
A timesheet chase-bot
Their ops lead spent her week chasing tutors to confirm lessons. Now a bot posts who's behind every Thursday and nudges them automatically.
Found $12K of unbilled work on day one
Owner-led services
An intake-to-match pipeline
They were matching clients to providers by hand. Now an intake call turns into a matched provider with a human giving the final OK. Found and fixed a nasty background-check bug while I was in there.
Nobody matches by hand anymore
Operating cadence
The system I run my own week on
I practice what I sell. My week runs on agents I built: a morning setup, a Friday briefing that tracks commitments and blind spots, meeting follow-ups that draft themselves, and a Monday audit that flags stale scorecard updates.
Nothing falls through between Mondays
And a few smaller ones.
Same idea every time. See the problem, build the fix.
Data & integrations
A system-to-system sync
Their records lived in two systems that never talked, so somebody kept retyping everything by hand. I built a sync that mirrors them every night, with a safety gate on every write. It caught three real data bugs the first time through.
Two systems that never agreed, now in sync
Executive ops
A scorecard and an audit agent
A leadership team was running on gut and a messy spreadsheet. I built them a scorecard down to one number per owner, plus an agent that checks it every Monday and flags whatever nobody updated.
Nothing important gets forgotten
Lead tools
The diagnostic on this site
Most people who land on a site like this look around and leave. I built the diagnostic on this page so they can answer a few questions, get the one thing to fix first, and land in my inbox so I can follow up.
A quiet visitor becomes a lead
Finance
An assumption-driven forecast
A team was arguing over a forecast nobody trusted, because the assumptions were buried three tabs deep. I built a model that puts every assumption out in the open, so you change one number and the whole picture moves with it.
Everyone finally trusts the number
Consulting IP
My own consulting toolkit
Good work shouldn't start from a blank page every time. I've built up thirty-odd repeatable moves I use with clients: the discovery brief, the five-whys, the metric map.
No engagement starts from scratch
Web & small business
A ground-up site rebuild
A dumpster-rental company needed a real website, not a slow template. I rebuilt it from the ground up, fast and clean and easy for Google and the AI crawlers to read, and kept every URL so nothing broke the day we flipped it.
Live, and faster than what it replaced
