I help small businesses find the work worth automating, build the solution in tools you own, and keep it running.

AI Workflow Assessment · 2 weeks
A ranked roadmap of what to automate, what it could save, and what to do first.
Two weeks mapping how your team actually works. If it does not find at least 10 hours a month, I say so plainly. The roadmap is yours either way.

How it works
Three steps. Here is what I need from you at each one.
- 1
Find the opportunity
I watch how the work actually happens and rank what is worth automating.
From you: a few hours of your team's time and a look at the tools you already use.
- 2
Build in your tools
Everything is built in accounts you own, so nothing leaves with me if we part ways.
From you: logins to those accounts and one person who can say yes.
- 3
Keep it running
I monitor it, fix what breaks and improve it as your business changes.
From you: tell me when something feels off. That is it.
Who you would be working with.
Former Marine Corps officer and Naval Academy graduate. Career solutions engineer who has been automating work at every job since 2012. I build in tools you own and explain it in plain English.

“Best afternoon of practical learning and application. Highly recommend and will be using him again. We brought our entire leadership team together for an AI Afternoon!”
“Stephen was brought in to help our organization adopt some of the new tools out there. He was knowledgable, super easy to work with, and able to teach us not only what to use but how to use it. I highly recommend Stephen for all AI needs!”
