Build · Make · Operate
But we can do better. We can optimize for scale.
Idea to live, across any domain, in weeks — not quarters. One operator who's designed, shipped, and run real businesses, directing AI to build what he architects. Not vibe-coding. Not an agency. A builder-maker-operator you can put on your problem.
Products & services for those looking to grow — from 0-to-1, to scale.
Bad ones that need fixing, good ones worth building. That's how I've always seen problems. It's how I build. And I direct AI to build what I architect — in the Claude ecosystem, not vibe-coding platforms. Twenty years of operator judgment, with the sharpest tool ever made.
Three ways I can help
The same practice I run on my own ventures — pointed at yours.
Build
Build the thing
Apps, products, web properties, tools, MVPs, internal systems. Designed and shipped end-to-end — architecture, decisions, judgment — directing AI to write the code. Zero-to-one, in market, without an agency or a dev team in the critical path. Optimized for your size and budget, with or without your engineering resources, fitted to your ops stack.
Make
Create the assets
Positioning, brand, copy, content strategy, go-to-market — the whole narrative. The artifacts I build for my own ventures, made for yours: Research Brief → MRD → PRD → Product Architecture → Brand Kit → Marketing Copy → GTM → Beachhead → Sales & Marketing Launch.
Operate
Fix & run the machine
Systems, process, and workflow optimization. The operational knot untangled. Fractional leadership when you need a seat filled. Humans on judgment, taste, strategy, and quality — AI on the low-leverage. That's how the work gets done now.
How we work together
From a template you run with today to a seat at your leadership table — scoped to your size and budget.
Pre-Build Bundles
The fastest way in — productized artifacts, ready to use. Off-the-shelf: my real builds, genericized — templated docs you can run with today. Custom: tell me your voice, goals, and targets; get branded, customized assets from a checklist you choose. AI Training Assets (add-on): a full Claude-Centric RAG kit — MD, Skills, Prompts, Starter Artifacts — the scaffolding I actually use, tuned to you.
Build-to-Order
I run requirements, write the brief, build, and test; you QA and market-test. A product, or the infrastructure and AI assets behind it. You own it when it ships.
Fractional Builder
A CXO focused on product, GTM, and operations leadership — in the seat, when you need one. Budgeted time inside your team, on contract, with a clear role framework and real deliverables.
Strategic Advisor
A seat at the board or leadership table. Strategic decisions, executive input, and a monthly high-level read on where things stand and what's next.
Pricing is scoped to the work, not posted. Tell me what you're after and I'll give you the shape of it.
Who I build with
Not an industry — a mindset. If you're the one who has to make it real, we'll get along.
Domains I've built in — proof, not the point
Why me
Chef-to-Code. A founding chef and owner-operator who architected the whole stack himself — a homemade digital core wiring POS, online ordering, delivery, merchant services, web, promotion, and content into one system. Three sides of the table at once — operator, vendor, customer — with my own money on the line.
Built on AI before AI was cool. A semantic-web startup in Chicago, $2M raised — AI before it had a name. This isn't a bandwagon. It's two decades of operator judgment with the sharpest tool ever made.
Operating at scale. 5x founder. $110M across four continents. A European market launch from $0 to $48M. FoodTech SaaS scaled to 1,500+ merchants. Two incubators co-built.
I build the machines that build companies. Chief Scaling Officer of a portfolio incubator; co-founder of a local pre-accelerator, exited with outlier multiples. I know how zero-to-one actually works — because I've run it, repeatedly.
"Built it, lost it, built it again. Still building, still swinging."
Let's go
Systems architecture, product, and go-to-market — built for you as your builder, as a fractional teammate, or as the guide at your decision table. Tell me what you're building, making, or trying to run better, and I'll give you the fastest honest path.
