I find the manual work eating your week — and I build the system that kills it.

22 years an engineer. 12 running my own brands. Now I build custom AI tools for businesses that need execution, not another strategy deck — pottery studios, gyms, specialty food retailers, consultancies, e-commerce operators. I work inside your business, in the tools you already use. I code it, deploy it, and train your team to run it without me.

How it works

From first call to a system you own.

Four steps. Watch what happens to the work at each one. See the full method →

  1. 01
    Free 15-minute assessmentNo cost

    Map the work

    Every business has one place where work piles up. On a short call we find yours. I name the tool that fixes it and give you a first step you can take without me.

    • One bottleneck, examined properly
    • One tool named, with what it costs
    • One first step you can take yourself

    The AI Assessment$1,000, credited against a build

    Sort every step

    I watch how the work really happens and write down every step. Then I sort each one: delete it, hand it to plain code, hand it to an AI agent, or keep it with a person. You get a written build plan with real tools and real costs.

    • Every step sorted, and ranked by what it costs you
    • A written plan with tools and costs
    • Yours to keep, whether or not I build it

    Fixed-price buildYou own everything

    Build inside your tools

    I connect the tools you already use, add AI where reading and writing eat your time, and add checks so you approve what matters. I write the code and deploy it.

    • Works inside the tools you already use
    • Approvals arrive by email or Slack
    • No licence, no lock-in
  4. 04
    Handover or monthlyTraining included, always

    Prove it, then hand it over

    Before I build, we write down today’s numbers. At 30 and 90 days I measure again, against the same numbers. I document the system and train your team to run it without me, or stay on monthly for the next constraint.

    • Measured before and after
    • Documentation and training included
    • Then on to the next constraint

Step 02, up close

Every step goes in one of four places. In this order.

Most people start with AI. I start by deleting. Many steps never need AI at all.

  1. 01

    Delete it

    Some steps exist only because an earlier step went wrong. Fix the cause and the step is gone.

    For exampleChasing a missing detail. Typing the same order twice. Checking the same thing a second time.

  2. 02

    Give it to plain code

    If the rule is “when this happens, do that”, it needs no AI. Code is cheaper and never guesses.

    For exampleOrder paid, send the invoice. New booking, add it to the calendar.

  3. 03

    Give it to an AI agent

    Where the work takes reading and judgement, an agent prepares it. Then it stops and asks.

    For exampleRead the email, pull out the details, draft the reply for you to approve.

  4. 04

    Keep it with a person

    Anything you cannot afford to get wrong stays with you or your team.

    For exampleApproving a refund. Sending money. Signing a quote. Talking to the client.

What usually gets built

The shapes the work tends to take.

These aren't packages. The assessment decides what you need. Each one ends the same way: a working system, not a strategy deck.

Product research and validation

Real demand and real margins, checked before a dollar goes to inventory.

11 yrsof hands-on product launches
Details

Mechanical engineer turned e-commerce operator — I evaluate products differently. I combine 11 years of hands-on product launches with deep engineering analysis and AI-powered tools (Data Dive, Jungle Scout, web scraping) to surface real demand, stress-test margins, and validate physical and market viability before a dollar goes to inventory.

Not just market research — structural evaluation. Built custom AI research systems for clients to do this at scale.

For race directors and event organizers

Everything your race needs, off your plate.

I'm the Race Director of the Mercedes-Benz Oakville Bronte Harbour Classic — sold out in year one, run by a small team with AI doing the work of an agency. I build the same system for your race. Follow the runner:

  1. Fill the start line Registration and a race website that people find, trust and sign up from. 875 runners — sold out in year one
  2. Win sponsors, and keep them Every sponsor and vendor gets a permanent page they are proud to share — not a logo on a banner that comes down Sunday. 80 permanent partner pages
  3. Get the word out Race updates turn into articles and social posts, so the race stays in front of people all year. 50+ articles and counting
  4. Emails runners actually read Drafted from your template and sent only when you approve — plus a personal “your photos are ready” note to every runner. Nothing sends without your OK
  5. Keep every runner safe Water stations, start times and sun safety planned and shared before race day, not buried in fine print. One safety plan for 875 runners
  6. Give them a reason to stay — and come back Free race photos found by bib number, a festival after the finish, and a medal whose QR code opens the race archive. 1,843 photos · 92% of bibs found by AI

Runners don't sign up for a banana and a medal. They come for the day — the festival, the photos, the people. The system gives them reasons to stay, and to come back next year.

Festivals, charity walks and tournaments have the same shape. The same system fits.

Every change used to mean going to a developer. A blog post, a price update, a page that needed fixing — write the brief, wait, review it, wait again. Days, every time, for work that took minutes to describe. And nothing shipped while you waited.

That’s the part that changed. I make the change myself now, often from my phone, and it’s live before the conversation is over. Not because I became a programmer — I’m a mechanical engineer and I’ve never written software professionally. Because describing the work precisely is now enough to get it built.

This is the same capability I hand over. When a client wants a page changed, a post published, or a price updated, the answer stops being “I’ll ask the developer and get back to you next week.”

What’s been shipped that way

  • Two iOS apps, live in the App Store — SunUp, which calculates real burn time from skin type and live UV, and RunMate Pro, GPS tracking with shoe-mileage management. RunMate was rejected 39 times before it was approved.
  • Helm — seller intelligence that pulls Amazon SP-API, Amazon Ads, Shopify, Meta, Klaviyo and Search Console into one place, then exposes it to Claude as tools.
  • A full event platform for a chip-timed road race I direct — 875 runners in its first year, plus their families, spectators and 80 local partners.
  • Two Shopify stores running on API connections, with product content and blog production automated end to end.
  • SportsClinicFinder — a Canada-wide clinic directory covering every province and territory, searchable by city, injury, and specialty.
  • Magpie — a shared research brain for the team, so nobody researches the same thing twice.
  • Marketing sites for both apps, plus this one — statically built, deployed on Vercel, with a post-build audit that fails the deploy on a dead link or a broken image.
  • Content Creator PRO — built for a client, handed over running, so they stopped needing an agency on retainer to do it.

Two e-commerce brands. $2M+ in ad spend. Paying $75K-$125K annually for agencies, freelancers, and services. Needed to cut costs without cutting results.

What I built

  • Custom AI content generation systems (100+ product descriptions, brand voice maintained)
  • Marketing automation workflows replacing manual email, social, and ad management
  • 2 iOS apps (SunUp by GearTOP, RunMate Pro) — built as a non-coder using AI tools
  • Analytics dashboards aggregating data from Shopify, Amazon, Google, Meta
  • Operational automation (inventory alerts, reorder triggers, journey orchestration)

Who this is for

If the same task lands on someone's desk every week, it probably shouldn't.

Every business has a handful of jobs that repeat — quoting, scheduling, chasing, reporting, answering the same question for the hundredth time. They're too small to hire for and too constant to ignore, so they get absorbed by whoever has capacity. Usually the owner.

That work is now automatable, and it doesn't much matter what industry you're in — a pottery studio chasing class bookings and a distributor chasing purchase orders are the same problem wearing different clothes. What matters is whether someone will actually build the thing, deploy it, and stay until your team can run it.

I'm based in Oakville and work across the GTA and Ontario, plus remotely. The proof isn't a slide deck — it's the ecosystem I build in public: two e-commerce brands, two iOS apps in the App Store, a race that sold out at 875 runners, and a directory at local-search scale. Client work runs on the same playbook.

Looking for AI consulting in Oakville?

Start with the task, not the tool. I help Oakville and GTA businesses find the repeat work that is slowing the owner or team down, then build the AI workflow, automation, or internal tool that removes it.

Good fits are quoting, intake, product content, reporting, research, customer follow-up, launch workflows, and internal search. Bad fits are vague AI strategy projects where nobody owns the finished system.

What that's looked like

Pottery studio

Class booking, waitlists, and the follow-up nobody had time to send

Race organization

Registration, sponsor pages, and a permanent searchable photo archive

Fitness studio

Member onboarding and retention sequences that run unattended
