Consulting — Pittsburgh, PA & Remote

You need something built.
Not just advised on.

I'm a product manager who ships code. 13+ years in fintech and insurtech, a pending LLM patent, and a track record of building AI-powered tools from scratch — not just talking about them.

What I do

Three ways to hire me.

I keep the scope tight so the work stays high-quality. These are the three things I'm best at — and what I'll actually say yes to.

AI & Product Strategy

Where does AI actually fit in your business? I'll map your workflows, identify the highest-leverage opportunities, build the roadmap, and help you prioritize what to ship first. You'll leave with a plan you can act on, not a slide deck.

Web Apps & Automation

Custom tools, API integrations, data dashboards, and workflow automation. I build serverless apps end-to-end — front to back. The kind of thing an agency would quote you $50K for. I won't.

Digital Presence & Marketing

Websites, local SEO, Google Business, Apple Business Connect, and digital advertising for small businesses and nonprofits. I've been doing this since 2019 — Pittsburgh and remotely. I charge for results, not retainers.

Process

How I work.

No retainers, no bloated proposals. I keep it simple and move fast.

01 — CONNECT

Free intro call

Tell me what you're trying to do. 30 minutes. No pitch, no pressure — just figuring out if I'm the right fit.

02 — SCOPE

Tight proposal

I'll send a clear scope, timeline, and flat-rate price. No hourly surprises, no scope creep by design.

03 — BUILD

I ship it

Weekly check-ins. You see progress early and often. I don't disappear for three weeks and resurface with a demo.

04 — HAND OFF

You own it

Full ownership. Clean code, documented, deployed. I'm available for follow-on work — but you're never dependent on me to keep the lights on.

Why me

One person.
The whole stack.

Most consultants either think or build. I do both — which means fewer handoffs, fewer misunderstandings, and faster shipping.

Product leader, not just a dev

13+ years running cross-functional teams in fintech. I understand the business problem, not just the ticket.

AI-native, not AI-curious

Co-inventor on a pending LLM patent. I use AI every day to research, plan, prototype, and ship.

I build my own things too

Ring Edge, this site, the AI Product Builder Playbook — all built and shipped solo. I know what it takes.

"When a client hires an agency, they get a PM who calls a designer who calls a developer. When you hire me, you get all three."
