Charlotte, North Carolina

I build the systems that change how the work gets done.

Operational excellence leader and 0-to-1 builder. I ship working software across vertical SaaS, agentic workflows, and applied AI for small operators.

Currently taking on short-term rental owners and a small number of operators by referral.

01 — Approach

The work, plainly.

Lean operating discipline taught me that systems — not heroics — produce outcomes. AI is rewriting which systems are possible. My work runs the arc: find the constraint, design the system, ship the product, run the change.

Value-stream maps, Salesforce schemas, agent graphs, steering committees — I'm comfortable in all of them.

I don't sell frameworks. I build operating systems that survive contact with users.

02 — Live products

Working software, in production.

The fastest way to understand what I build is to click into one. Each link below is a working URL.

i.
FieldPilot
A decision system for field sales teams.

Field reps get their full operating week — accounts to visit, routes between them, talk tracks for each one — generated from one orchestrated call against Apollo, Google Maps, and live Salesforce context. The technical moat is an OSM/Overture pipeline that surfaces industrial buildings standard data sources don't index.

Golf Tour OS
Tournament operations for amateur tour directors.

An interactive prototype showing how a local tour director runs a weekend — handicapping, flighting, payouts, leaderboards, member comms — through agent task streams instead of spreadsheets. Three interactive moments demonstrate the agent completing entire jobs-to-be-done end to end.

03 — Build inventory

The broader surface.

A working index of independent ventures, prototypes, and concepts under exploration. Range matters — builders who know only one vertical or one pattern produce brittle systems.
