Two altitudes, one architect. Start with live build sessions in your own accounts, or hand me the whole AI function — strategy and execution, from the person who designs it and builds it.
For SMB
AI Concierge
$2,500/mo · scope to fit
Live build sessions on your screen, in your own accounts — every session ships something that works. You don't want AI consulting; you want a trusted expert building it with you.
Two 45-minute build calls a month, scheduled around you.
Built live in your tools — you watch it get built and own it.
Most owners save 5–10 hours a week. Price scales with scope.
Working calls scheduled around you. No prep, no homework.
02
We build live
On your screen, in your tools, with your data. You learn it as we go.
03
It ships
Every session leaves something working in your business that day.
04
It compounds
Next month builds the next thing. The system grows as your business does.
Why it sticks
Low-fancy. High-impact.
Every call ships
You never pay for "strategy." Each session leaves something working — that’s the whole offer.
You own it
Everything is built in your own tools and accounts. You keep running it, with or without me.
Cancel anytime
Most clients don't. Once the systems are running, canceling feels like firing your best employee.
The full case
The fractional AI architect, on one page.
What every other route costs, who you're actually hiring, how I ship with enterprise controls, and the engagement — the complete breakdown.
AI Architect · Fractional
Imagine AI · AI Architect
I architected the infrastructure that took Alo from $100M to over $1 billion.
At AWS, I designed the cloud and data infrastructure behind Alo's digital channel and guided the build. That channel did $804M in 2025 and is on track past $1B in 2026. I bring that same work in-house as your fractional AI architect — I set the strategy and ship the systems myself.
01What it costs to do this any other way
You need enterprise-grade AI — and someone who actually ships it. Every other route costs more, takes longer, and usually never ships:
Hire a VP of AI
$400–600K+ / yr
And 6–9 months to find one. Real Head-of-AI packages clear half a million loaded; a true Chief AI Officer runs past $1.5M — and most have managed teams, not shipped production systems themselves.
McKinsey / Deloitte
$500K–$2M for a deck
MBB partners bill $500–$1,000/hr. Strategy-plus-implementation runs $500K–$2M over 6–18 months — and a prototype isn’t production. You still need a builder once they leave.
Build it in-house
95% never ship
MIT, 2025: 95% of enterprise GenAI pilots return zero P&L impact, and in-house builds succeed half as often as expert-led ones. Your team is already full-time on the day job.
The real bill isn't the salary or the invoice — it's a year lost and a system that dies in pilot. I'm the proven alternative: I've already architected infrastructure that scaled past a billion dollars, and I ship in weeks.
02Who you're hiring
Not a strategist who hands off, not a junior who's never shipped — a 20-year enterprise architect who builds.
20 yrs
Enterprise technology
data, ML, analytics & GenAI
$10M
Agentic AI platform
designed for a top-10 U.S. bank
$55M
AWS AI/ML quota
carried annually · 100%+ to plan
03What I do for you
Set the roadmap
I find where AI moves real revenue or cost, rank by impact, and sequence the build — enterprise audit rigor, not buzzwords.
Architect and build
I design the agentic systems — retrieval, orchestration, guardrails, citations, audit — and ship them to production myself.
Govern it like an enterprise
Multi-tenant security, RBAC, human-in-the-loop, and compliance (TCPA / CAN-SPAM / DNC) enforced server-side. No bypass.
Own the outcome
One accountable architect — measured on systems live and results, not hours billed.

04How I build — production rigor
I ship fast because I ship with controls most teams never build. Every line of AI I deploy moves through the same governed harness that keeps enterprise systems safe:
Global behavioral contract
One written contract governs every agent and every change. The system runs by your rules and can’t silently drift from them.
Gated loop harness
Each change moves through a gated build-and-review loop. Nothing advances until it clears the gate.
Paired-runtime push gate
Two independent AI models check each diff — one builds, a different one reviews it adversarially — and CI blocks the merge until every finding is dispositioned and logged.
Risk-scaled convergence
Review terminates on a convergence rule scaled to risk — light for tooling, strict for anything touching customer data or money. No infinite loops, no rubber-stamps.
05The engagement
$25,000/ month
3-month minimum · month-to-month after.
A fraction of a $400–600K+ VP-of-AI hire — and unlike a strategy firm, you get shipped systems, not a slide deck.
Embedded from week one
your team, your stack, your goals; not advice from the outside.
Strategy and shipped systems every month
live production work, not reports.
Direct access to me
no account manager, no rotating bench of juniors.
Tell me where AI should be moving your business. I'll bring the architecture — and build it.
