What I Fix
AI Workflow Automation
Blended AI/Workflow systems with LLMs (GPT, Llama, DeepSeek) + Zapier/n8n. Cut production cycles from days to hours while preserving human quality.
Operational Intelligence
Data‑driven diagnostics: inventory waste, onboarding bottlenecks, redundant data entry. I fix the root cause—sometimes without any AI.
AI Training & Change Mgmt
50% faster onboarding with AI knowledge assistants (RAG + adaptive LMS). Reduce errors and manager burnout through human‑centric adoption.
Tech Stack & ERP Advisory
NetSuite, Shopify, Xero, WMS, SQL. API optimization, webhooks, and SSOT dashboards—eliminating silos and manual re‑keying.
Real impact · Case studies
Case Study #1
Marketing Agency · Outreach Automation
2‑day content production cycles limited scalability. Implemented a Blended AI/Workflow system: LLM (GPT‑4/Llama) with prompt engineering for first drafts, Zapier‑based routing, streamlined approvals, and a fallback protocol if quality dips below 70%. Framed AI as a “junior assistant” to win over senior copywriters.
90% cycle reduction · Added 3 new clients without headcount · Zero copywriter turnover · Employee satisfaction +40%
Case Study #2
Manufacturing Firm · AI Knowledge Engine
35% turnover and a 6‑week onboarding bottleneck overloaded managers with 20+ daily questions. Deployed a Blended AI solution: adaptive LMS + LLM with RAG to answer 80% of routine queries, version‑controlled document repository, offline tablets, and knowledge‑capture incentives. Retired machinists’ tribal knowledge was preserved via structured exit interviews.
Onboarding time cut 50% · Manager mentoring hours −60% · Error rate −40% in 3 months
Case Study #3
Logistics & E‑commerce · AI Fallback Ops
Conflicting inventory alerts, 45% write‑offs, and 30+ management hours/week lost to chasing discrepancies. Rejected AI predictions due to hallucination risk—instead fixed the data plumbing: event‑driven webhooks, staggered API sync, a single source‑of‑truth dashboard, and eliminated 3 manual re‑keying steps. Delivered deterministic, trusted accuracy without a single LLM call.
60% error reduction · Inventory waste −45% · Tax prep 4h → 15min · 100% reconciliation accuracy
The Business Mechanic Process
1. INTAKE
Start with intake form → quick discovery—I'll assess fit or refer you if needed.
2. COMPRESSION
NDA + deep diagnostic. I get inside your operations, tech, and people—uncover hidden bottlenecks and quick wins.
3. IGNITION
Hands‑on execution: building AI workflows, retraining teams, integrating systems—or working alongside your crew.
4. EXHAUST & FOLLOW‑UP
Complete knowledge transfer, monitoring dashboards, 90‑day check‑ins, and fallback plans—AI or no AI.
“I don't push AI for everything. Sometimes the best solution is fixing the data plumbing—no black‑box predictions, just deterministic accuracy. Whether it's a Blended AI system or a pure workflow overhaul, I start with a rigorous diagnostic and match the right tool to your unique context.”
