Consulting Services

Strategy.
Build.
Adoption.

Most AI initiatives fail between vision and execution. I close that gap — by doing all three myself.

What I Do

Three pillars. One person.

The rarest combination in AI consulting: end-to-end technical execution, organizational transformation, and professional education — delivered without a team of 12.

“I define the AI strategy, then write the code — a rare combination that closes the gap between GenAI's potential and operational reality.”

— Loren Cossette

How It Works

From first call to production

Step 01

Discovery

30-minute call to understand your problem, current state, and what success actually looks like for your organization.

Step 02

Scoping

I deliver a plain-language proposal: what gets built, what changes, what your team learns, timeline, and fixed-price cost.

Step 03

Execution

I own the full lifecycle. Architecture, code, stakeholder communication, change management. You get weekly updates, not surprises.

Step 04

Handoff

Your team is trained, your system is documented, and you're not dependent on me to keep it running. That's the goal.

Investment

Transparent pricing

Priced to reflect what a team of specialists would cost — delivered by one senior architect who owns the whole thing.
