FRACTIONAL CTO · AI BUILDER · 25 YEARS IN MEDIA

You're doing workyour software should be doing.

I build the AI systems that do it instead, so you can get back to the part only you can do.

I make the systems I used to buy. 25 years running development and production in film and television. Last spring I stopped buying software for my own businesses and started building it.

What's not working for you? →

// the_problem

Conversations usually start like this.

"We found out in the monthly review. It had been happening for six weeks."

"I know some of my work can be automated. I don't know where to start."

"How do we pick the right tool, and then how do we get people to use it?"

// why_i_built_it

A prosthesis for the mind.

If you can't see, they give you glasses. If you have a limp, they give you crutches. For the way my mind works, there's nothing to hand you. So I built it.

It's 3 a.m. and the show isn't selling. I couldn't call anyone, so I built someone I could. I built it for a brain that needed it. That's why it works on a business.

// what_i_build

Three ways in.

Same work underneath. Start wherever it hurts.

01

The Automation Audit

Two weeks inside how your team actually works. You get a ranked list: what to automate first, what it saves, and what to leave alone. Hand it to any developer, or I build it.

02

The Fix

Not "ticket sales are down." "Ticket sales are down because the ads went dark in April and the emails stopped going out early. Turn both back on."

03

The Build

One problem, one system, one price. The thing that takes the Sunday night spreadsheet off somebody's desk for good.

// exhibit_a

I built it for my own business first.

KNKY Comedy is the live comedy brand I started. Five platforms, none of them talking to each other. Data everywhere and insight nowhere.

One morning it flagged a show that had come in far below its own average. It pointed to two likely causes nobody had connected to it: our ads had been off since April, and our emails had drifted from early warm-ups to day-of blasts. It told me to turn both back on.

How the system is built: the engineering case study →

// safeguards

I wrote it a constitution before I wrote a line of code.

Nine articles. The first is the one most people skip: nothing my AI does can commit my money. Not a payment, not a contract, not a send. I'm the last gate. I wrote two of those articles the week after something went wrong.

// background

Twenty-five years of making things that shipped.

Now: executive producer of KNKY Comedy, the live comedy company I started, with a featured show at the Netflix Is a Joke Fest.

Before: Head of Development & Strategy at LA Times Studios, where I sold the studio's first documentary with ABC News and executive produced two series for Hulu. Built a $10M+ premium digital studio at NBCUniversal. Co-founder and SVP of Soul of the South Television, which reached 35M+ households across 28 markets.

Awards: the Jackson Wild Media Award for Out of Plain Sight, on DDT dumping off the California coast. Best Documentary at Brazil's SESC Film Festival for Tropicália.

MFA, USC. BA in computer science, Columbia, concentration in AI.
