AI Workflow Audit
I map the repetitive work, tool sprawl, content bottlenecks, and handoff gaps. You get a prioritized plan with practical quick wins.
Portland, Oregon / AI / Web Systems / Automation
Practical AI and web systems for small teams with too many moving parts.
I help local businesses, solo operators, creative teams, and founders turn scattered tools, WordPress sites, content workflows, and repetitive admin into systems they can actually use.

Primary Tool
Check whether AI can read and recommend your site.
This is the practical diagnostic: crawler access, AI-readable files, raw page structure, schema, headings, content depth, and then an optional live probe that shows exactly what an AI assistant says when asked to recommend a business like yours.
How I Can Help
Less AI theater. More useful systems.
If your business already has websites, social accounts, docs, forms, CRMs, spreadsheets, inboxes, and half-configured tools, the problem is rarely “needing more software.” It is making the pieces work together.
WordPress and Web Systems
Cleanup, recovery, SEO basics, performance, responsive fixes, admin workflows, and self-hosted publishing systems that stay yours.
Automation Setup
Lightweight automations, AI-assisted drafts, review queues, connectors, and process docs so your team can run the system after launch.
AI Search and Content Ops
Clear site structure, useful pages, blog/CV strategy, social drafts, schema, and content workflows built for humans and AI search.
Why This Work
Technology should be practical, repairable, and deeply human.
That thread started early, shaped by the inventive spirit of a machinist grandfather. It still shows up in how I work now: web systems that can be recovered, automations that can be explained, content workflows people can actually run, and AI used as leverage without losing judgment.
Read the backstoryWorking Together
Start small, make it real, leave it usable.
Listen first
We look at how work actually happens: where the hours go, where the tools break down, and what would make the next week easier.
Build the first useful loop
No six-month transformation story. We pick one concrete workflow and make it work with your site, files, accounts, and team habits.
Document and hand off
You get a simple runbook, a clear handoff, and a setup that can keep improving after the first useful version is working.
Current Proof
This site is part of the workbench.
I use my own site as a live system: WordPress as the publishing layer, a static root homepage, SEO and accessibility passes, MCP/AI connector notes, LinkedIn campaign tooling, and local webserver recovery documentation.

Choose Your Door
Different visitors need different signals.
For small businesses
You need plain-English AI help, web cleanup, and workflows that save time without turning your business into a science project.
For recruiters
You are looking for someone who can move between AI tools, WordPress, infrastructure, content systems, and practical execution.
For collaborators
You want a builder who can think strategically, document the work, ship useful things, and keep ownership with the people doing the work.
AI / Systems / Strategy
Small tools become real leverage when they are connected with care.
The signature mark stays as the premium brand note. The site itself should do the practical work: explain the offer, prove the operating style, and make it easy to start a useful conversation.
Plain Answers
Questions before we work together.
Most people do not need an AI lecture. They need to know whether this will save time, reduce confusion, and leave them with something they can keep using.
Who is this for?
Small businesses, solo operators, creative teams, local organizations, and founders who have real work piling up across websites, content, forms, inboxes, files, and tools. You do not need an internal tech team to start.
Do I need to know exactly what AI should do?
No. A good first step is usually an audit of where time is leaking. We look for practical use cases: follow-ups, content drafts, intake forms, reporting, WordPress cleanup, repetitive admin, or internal knowledge that needs structure.
What do I actually get?
A clear map of the workflow, a prioritized plan, and when appropriate, a working setup: automations, WordPress fixes, AI-assisted content systems, connector notes, training, and a plain-English runbook your team can follow.
Can you work with what I already have?
Usually, yes. The best starting point is often the site, tools, files, and habits already in place. I look for ways to simplify the current setup before recommending anything new.
How quickly can this become useful?
Small wins can often happen quickly: a cleaned-up workflow, a better content path, a repaired WordPress issue, or a first automation. Larger systems should grow from those useful first loops instead of starting with a giant transformation plan.
Next Step
Bring me the messy version.
Half-configured tools, a WordPress site that needs help, content scattered across folders, a business process everyone works around. That is usually where the useful work starts.
