Expertise

  • AI & Agents

    Agentic workflows · AI agent deployment · RAG systems · Claude Code · Claude Cowork · OpenClaw · Hermes Agent

    Choosing the right model for each task, wiring agents into existing tools, and keeping them observable. Agents that qualify leads, answer inbound, draft reports, and search internal knowledge.

  • Automation

    n8n pipelines · Relay.app · Make · Zapier · Token optimization

    Workflow automation for the predictable work, agents for the work that needs judgment. Typical outcome: API spend cut from $2K+/month to under $300/month.

  • Systems Architecture

    Notion systems · Client portals · Operational design · Tool consolidation

    Replacing disconnected tools with one system the team actually uses. The average client retires 2–3 paid SaaS tools.

  • Operations & Enablement

    SOP documentation · Team training · Onboarding design · Knowledge bases

    Systems only last if people adopt them. Hands-on training and written SOPs — one client went from 3-week to 3-day onboarding.

  • Software

    Next.js · TypeScript · Notion API · SaaS development · MCP servers

    Custom internal tools and production SaaS when off-the-shelf won't fit.
