Let's work together.

I build AI-native products from zero to live. 20+ shipped in the last year, all with automated pipelines and real revenue models. Before that, 15 years turning strategy into commercial outcomes at Monks, Poke, R/GA and Contagious.

What I Bring

Four things that set me apart

⚙

0-to-1 Product Building

20+ live AI-native products shipped in under a year. Not mockups or decks. Live products with automated pipelines, hybrid scoring models and revenue infrastructure. I take ideas from concept to working product.

20+ products. All live. All working.

📊

AI Systems & Pipelines

Built and operate 7 fully automated daily/weekly pipelines using GitHub Actions, covering data ingestion, AI scoring, content generation and deployment. Production-grade systems designed for zero-touch operation.

7 automated pipelines. Zero downtime.

★

Business Case to Market

15+ years turning strategy into commercial outcomes. I build business cases, define revenue models and own execution through to in-market delivery. At Monks, I took a new capability from zero to $3.2m+ revenue.

$3.2m+ revenue built from scratch.

♦

Cultural Intelligence

Pattern recognition across culture, brands, technology and audiences. I built automated systems that scan 150+ sources daily and score cultural relevance at scale. Data-driven instinct for what matters next.

1,200+ brands scored. 150+ sources.

What I'm Looking For

Where I want to build next

A role where I can build new products from zero. Taking ideas from opportunity identification through business case, prototype, validation and in-market delivery. Not just the strategy. The thing itself.
