I build the AI — and I can prove it moves revenue.
Most AI engineers can't sell. Most salespeople can't build. One person, both halves — and every number below is public and checkable.
Client work — shipped, live, clickable
7Design-faithful builds on modern stacks, delivered for paying clients. Every tile links to the real, live site.
Proposals, pipelines & pitches
8Every engagement gets one page: the walkthrough, the proposal, the folder.
The Lab — products I'm building myself
3Not client work — my own bets, in the open, each at a different stage of finding its place.

Bring me the half you're missing.
Whether you need the AI shipped or the revenue closed — or someone who does both — I take on a small number of client projects at a time.
