I sit with a team, find the part of the job they tolerate hate, and build the thing that does it for them.
If everyone has to be a middle manager now, you should at least have your robot employees doing the things you never liked. I take the time to sit with teams, find where AI is immensely useful, and help them implement systems to drive progress.

A few teams I’ve done this for
forward deployed work, building with their teams- Brex — Programmatic landing pages for card charges and expenses, which grew to 20k+ new visits a month.

- Ramp — Calibrating context and brand voice to improve content performance and LLM visibility.
- Lovable — Full website templates generated through LLMs, via a custom prompt chain.
- Vercel — A directory of LLM model stats and performance, pulling from their AI Gateway data.

Two businesses of my own
Things I built for myself that turned into the real thing. Together they process six figures in revenue.
- Stock Swap — eBay for livestock.
- Simple and easy to use, built for small farmers like the ones I know.
- List an animal, take bids from anywhere, and skip the drive to the sale barn.
- Buyline — merch stores for creator agencies.
- POD and custom orders, email marketing, promotions and shipping, all in one place.
- Run every creator’s store from one login instead of a tab for each.
