AI Systems Consultant · Remote

Your AI should already know you.

I build systems that give Claude persistent memory — so it knows your projects, your team, and your priorities without you re-explaining them every session.

20 years delivering at scale: Walmart, Fortune 500, publicly traded companies. US Patent co-inventor. Angel investor. I build AI infrastructure the same way I've built everything else — so it works in the real world, not just in a demo.

What I actually do

Three concrete things. Not consulting fluff.

🧠
Persistent AI Memory
A local database stores everything from every session. Next time you open Claude, it already knows your context. No re-explaining. Typical setup: 2–3 hours.
🔄
Autonomous Research
Research goals run overnight. Intelligence brief waiting by morning. Market intel, job leads, industry trends — surfaced automatically while you sleep.
⚙️
AI Infrastructure
Local-first stack: ChromaDB, Ollama, MCP servers, model routing. Runs on your machine. Your data stays yours. No cloud dependency, no ongoing SaaS fees.

How it works

Simple engagement. No month-long discovery phase.

01
One conversation
We talk for an hour. I understand your context, tools, and what you actually need the AI to know about you.
02
I build it
Setup takes 2–4 hours depending on complexity. You get a working system, not a presentation about one.
03
You use it
Walk you through it. Answer questions. Check back in a week. That's the engagement. No retainer unless you want one.

Selected work

Real outcomes. Specific numbers. No stock photos of people shaking hands.

Background

In case you want to know who you're talking to.

I've built things that didn't exist before for 20 years — PM orgs from scratch, delivery frameworks, and now AI infrastructure. I'm not a researcher or a theorist. I ship.

Early career: hardware deployment at massive scale (200,000+ retail POS systems). Then enterprise digital delivery at a global agency, serving the world's largest retailer. Then operations at a boutique creative agency. Then building the first Product Management organization at a publicly traded consumer finance company.

I'm an angel investor through Tonic Fund Group — portfolio includes Slim Chickens, Apptegy, and 10+ others. I care about NWA and the communities I'm part of.

I live in Noel, Missouri on the Elk River with my partner Ali. Remote only.

Let's have a conversation.

I take on a small number of engagements at a time. A typical setup runs $500–$1,500 depending on complexity. No retainer required — you pay for the setup, you own the system.

If it's not the right fit, I'll tell you. No hard sell.
