Your team ships faster. Your costs go down. The manual work disappears.

I integrate AI into your startup's workflows — engineering, content, operations, analytics. Not a strategy deck. Working systems that your team uses every day.

I've spent 20+ years building products and have deployed AI in production across my own companies. I know what works because I've done it myself.

AI integration
Ship faster

What changes for you:

Your eng team ships 2–3x faster

AI coding tools, automated code reviews, and agent-powered workflows — set up and tuned for your specific codebase and processes. Your engineers build features, not boilerplate.

Tasks that eat hours just stop happening

Content production, customer support, reporting, data entry, QA — I identify what's burning your team's time and build AI systems that handle it. Your people focus on work that actually matters.

You understand your business without dashboards

Ask questions in plain English, get charts and metrics back instantly — pulling from Stripe, PostHog, Firebase, or wherever your data lives. No SQL. No training. Just answers.

You stay ahead without chasing every new tool

AI moves fast. I evaluate what's real vs. hype, integrate what matters, and skip what doesn't. You get the benefits without the noise.

How we work together:

01

Start with a deep dive

1–2 weeks

I audit your workflows across engineering, ops, content, and support. You get a prioritized roadmap with specific AI opportunities and ROI estimates — not theory, but what to do first and why.

02

Then I build it

4–6 weeks

I implement the highest-impact integrations end-to-end. AI coding tools for your eng team, custom agents for your operations, automations for your content pipeline. Your team is trained to run everything after I leave.

03

Stay sharp over time

Ongoing

I continuously optimize your AI systems, integrate new tools worth adopting, and make architecture decisions with you. Async-first — minimal meetings.

This is for you if:

  • You're a seed to Series B startup and your team is doing too much manually
  • You know AI could help but don't have time to figure out what's real vs. hype
  • You want someone who builds, not someone who sends you a PDF

I eat my own cooking:

I run Lifehack — a 20-year-old platform — with a minimal team. AI handles the heavy lifting across every layer:

Product

AI-powered coaching engine delivering personalized guidance to users — from assessment to ongoing coaching, powered by LLMs with custom prompting and user context.

Content & SEO

What used to take a content team now runs with AI drafting, editing, and optimizing — with human oversight for quality. SEO-optimized articles and newsletters, produced consistently.

Operations

Autonomous AI agents handle monitoring, reporting, code reviews, and deployment workflows — built with AgentUse, my open-source agent framework.

Data & Analytics

A conversational BI platform I built that pulls from PostHog, Stripe, RevenueCat, and Firebase. Ask in plain English, get interactive charts. No SQL, no dashboards to learn.

Development

AI-assisted development across the full stack — from feature implementation to automated PR reviews. Shipping speed increased dramatically while maintaining code quality.

Background:

  • Lifehack - Founded 2005, built AI-powered coaching engine
  • AgentUse - Open-source autonomous AI agents
  • PR Review Agent - AI code review for GitHub PRs
  • Red Hat - Led software engineering teams
  • Steply - iPhone photography apps, 10M+ downloads
