Consulting Services
Strategy.
Build.
Adoption.
Most AI initiatives fail between vision and execution. I close that gap by becoming your embedded AI lead — architecting, building, and shipping all three.

What I Do
Three pillars. One embedded lead.
The rarest combination in AI consulting: end-to-end technical execution, organizational transformation, and professional education — delivered by one person embedded inside your organization, not a 12-person team flying in and out.
“I become your AI lead. I architect the program, write the code, capture institutional knowledge, and ship features weekly — until the organization can run it without me.”
— Loren Cossette
Build
Production agentic systems, RAG pipelines, and full-stack AI products. Not demos. Deployed infrastructure that runs in the real world.
Transform
AI strategy, governance, and the organizational change management that makes technical projects actually get funded, adopted, and sustained.
Teach
Research-backed training programs for executives, engineers, and entire organizations — from awareness to hands-on production capability.
Ideal Clients
Who I work best with
My engagements work best when the problem is real, the stakes are high, and the organization is ready to move — not just explore.
Government agencies facing compliance or accessibility deadlines — Section 508, WCAG, ADA, or federal AI governance requirements
Enterprises that have run AI pilots but can't get to production or adoption at scale
Founders and startups who need a senior architect to build the real thing, not a prototype
Organizations with a made business case where the technical path, governance, or change management is the missing piece

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.
Engagement Tiers
From discovery to embedded lead
Three ways to bring me in, depending on how ready you are. Most engagements start with discovery — a short fixed-fee assessment that scopes the embedded engagement (or honestly tells you it isn't the right time).
Tier 01
Discovery Engagement
$8K–15K
fixed · 2–3 weeks
Tier 02
Embedded AI Program Lead
$25K–40K
per month · 12–24 wk min
Tier 03
Architecture & Build Sprint
$30K–80K
fixed · 4–10 weeks
Availability
Currently embedded as the AI lead for Multnomah County. Available for advisory, training, independent review, and scoped modernization engagements with other agencies where there is no conflict with current obligations. Conflict-of-interest review takes place during the Discovery Engagement before any binding scope is agreed.
