Generative AI

Solution-First, AI-Second

Most AI engagements start with the tool and go looking for a problem to justify it. Mine start with the problem. Sometimes AI is the answer. Sometimes it's the wrong tool wearing an expensive suit, and I'll tell you that too.

How I think about AI Enablement

A Structured Methodology That Actually Works

  1. Discovery: Before anything gets built, I want to know what's actually broken and who's living with it every day. Half of what I'm hired to build gets scoped down once we're honest about the real problem.
  2. Architecture: I design for the team that has to run this after I leave. That means explainability isn't a nice-to-have bolted on at the end. It's a design constraint from day one, the same as data privacy or budget.
  3. Implementation: This is where most of my own tools live, RAG pipelines, multi-agent workflows, custom automations. I build in n8n, evaluate vector databases on cost and fit rather than hype, and I write the system prompts myself.
  4. Deployment and Ongoing Maintenance: AI systems drift. Models get deprecated. Costs creep. I don't hand you something and disappear. I build the monitoring in from the start so drift gets caught before it becomes a client-facing problem.

Building Working Solutions, Not Just Concepts

I don't just advise on AI. I build it, for my own practice and for clients.


Second Brain


At Drumline, I've led the charge on internal AI process adoption, designing and launching the Content Resonance Engine—a proprietary tool that accelerates our ability to create effective, brand-aligned blog and social media content. What once required multiple rounds of iteration now happens in a fraction of the time, freeing our team to focus on strategy and creative direction while AI handles the heavy lifting of production-level output.


I've also built an AI-powered Second Brain, which I've personally pressure-tested and now am rolling out across teams at Drumline. The Second Brain will help us operate efficiently, and effectively, allowing us to multiply the impact we have on our clients. 


Building Real AI-powered Tools


Below are just some examples working tools people can use now that show what's possible when you combine solid architecture with real-world problem-solving.

Discovery

Before anything gets built, I want to know what's actually broken and who's living with it every day. Half of what I'm hired to build gets scoped down once we're honest about the real problem.

Architecture

I design for the team that has to run this after I leave. That means explainability isn't a nice-to-have bolted on at the end. It's a design constraint from day one, the same as data privacy or budget.

Implementation

This is where most of my own tools live, RAG pipelines, multi-agent workflows, custom automations. I build in n8n, evaluate vector databases on cost and fit rather than hype, and I write the system prompts myself.

Deployment and Ongoing Maintenance

AI systems drift. Models get deprecated. Costs creep. I don't hand you something and disappear. I build the monitoring in from the start so drift gets caught before it becomes a client-facing problem.

BUILT, NOT JUST PROPOSED

I don't just advise on AI. I build it, for my own practice and for clients.

Second Brain

A multi-agent system that triages my email, drafts meeting follow-through, and surfaces the context I need before I ask for it. Built on n8n, Weaviate, and OpenRouter, running for about $50 a month.

Content Resonance Engine

A multi-agent content review system built for Drumline: brand and tone review, SEO and AEO optimization, and editorial quality checks running in parallel, then aggregated into one rewrite pass. Turnaround: two to three minutes.
