63 applications in production across five lines of business. Not a portfolio of demos — these are the systems the firms, districts, practices and operations teams run on. Pick a line to see the problem it solves and what is live in it.

The same work seen closer up — problem, build and why it transfers.

LegalTechLive

Intake Form Pro

Conversational and voice intake that produces a usable brief, not a form submission.

The problem
Legal intake arrives as half-finished web forms and voicemails. Someone still has to call the person back, work out what actually happened, and decide whether the matter is worth taking.
What I built
A SaaS intake product that interviews the client conversationally — by chat or by voice — asks the follow-up questions a paralegal would ask, and hands the firm a structured summary with a lead score attached.
Why it matters to you
Shows the full path from an unstructured human conversation to a structured record a business can act on — the same shape as most enterprise AI intake problems.

AI: AI interviewing, voice AI, automatic summarisation, lead scoring
Architecture: Multi-tenant SaaS, workflow engine, REST integrations into firm systems
Governance: Tenant isolation, role-based access, audit trail on every intake record

EducationLive

Omni Forge / Plainfield

AI implemented inside an institution, with the workflows and the rollout that entails.

The problem
Institutions have plenty of AI enthusiasm and almost no path from enthusiasm to something staff will actually use inside their existing processes.
What I built
An institutional AI implementation covering the education workflows themselves, not just a tool drop — deployed across a district rather than piloted with one team.
Why it matters to you
Enterprise buyers ask the same question a district does: who owns it, who is allowed to see what, and what happens on day two. This is the answer with a real deployment behind it.

AI: Workflow-embedded AI, institutional deployment patterns
Architecture: Multi-user deployment across an institution, integrated with existing education workflows
Governance: Institutional access control and role separation

ComplianceLive

Compliance Assist AI

AI-assisted compliance operations built to survive an audit.

The problem
Compliance teams are asked to move faster without losing the trail. Most AI tooling makes the first part easy and the second part impossible.
What I built
A secure multi-tenant compliance workflow where AI assists the operator and every step stays attributable — role-based access throughout and an auditable record of what happened and who did it.
Why it matters to you
The exact objection an enterprise raises about AI — 'we cannot show a regulator what it did' — answered with an architecture rather than a policy document.

AI: AI-assisted compliance operations, document handling, workflow assistance
Architecture: Secure multi-tenant SaaS, RBAC, workflow engine, audit logging
Governance: Multi-tenancy, role-based access control, full auditability

Professional servicesLive

YRC AI Receptionist

A voice agent that answers the phone and then does something about it.

The problem
Calls get missed, and the ones that get answered end as a note on a pad that never reaches the system that would act on it.
What I built
A voice agent handling front-desk and contact-centre calls, integrated into the business systems behind it so a completed call becomes a record, a task or a booking rather than a transcript.
Why it matters to you
Voice is where AI either integrates or embarrasses you. This is the integrated version, and the pattern generalises to any customer-facing agent brief.

AI: Voice agents, contact-centre automation, intent handling
Architecture: Voice pipeline integrated with business workflow systems
Governance: Call handling with controlled hand-off to business systems

Defined outcomes with a price attached, not open-ended "AI development". Most engagements start small on purpose — an assessment that tells you whether the rest is worth doing.

AI Discovery Assessment

$3.5K–$7.5K

A ranked list of where AI actually pays inside your business, and what it would take to build it.

Two to three weeks working through your workflows to find the ones worth automating, ranked by return and by how hard they are to build.

  • Workflow analysis
  • Opportunity assessment
  • ROI ranking
  • Architecture recommendation
  • Roadmap

AI Discovery + Roadmap

$7.5K–$15K

A prioritised implementation plan with a business case your board will sign off.

The assessment, extended into a sequenced plan: which use cases in which order, what each costs, what each returns, and the architecture that carries all of them.

  • Prioritised use cases
  • Implementation plan
  • Business case
  • Technical architecture

AI Prototype Sprint

$10K–$20K

A working prototype of your highest-value use case, running against your real workflow.

One use case, specified and built as an integrated working demo — the fastest way to settle an internal argument about whether this will work here.

  • Use-case specification
  • Working prototype
  • AI integration
  • Workflow demonstration
  • Production roadmap

AI Agent Implementation

$15K–$40K

A production agent doing real work inside one of your workflows.

Design and build of a production workflow agent — support, sales, intake, document processing or internal knowledge — integrated with the systems it has to touch.

  • Agent design
  • Systems integration
  • Human review workflow
  • Deployment
  • Handover and support

Custom AI Application

$25K–$100K

A complete AI-enabled application, designed, built and deployed.

Full custom build — SaaS or internal — where an off-the-shelf tool cannot reach the workflow you actually run.

  • Product definition
  • Architecture
  • Full build
  • Security and access model
  • Deployment and operations

Fractional AI Architect

$125–$175 per hour

Senior architecture and implementation leadership on your AI work, without a permanent hire.

Ongoing architecture, technical advisory and implementation leadership for teams building AI who need someone accountable for the design.

  • Architecture ownership
  • Implementation leadership
  • Technical advisory
  • Team review

Fractional AI CTO

$8K–$20K per month

AI and technology strategy owned end to end, at a fraction of a CTO hire.

Strategy, architecture and execution leadership across your AI and technology programme on a monthly engagement.

  • AI and technology strategy
  • Architecture ownership
  • Execution leadership
  • Board and exec reporting

The common thread is documents, rules and review — settings where the model's output is the easy part and the access control, the audit trail and the human-in-the-loop step are what decide whether it ships.

Works the whole path — discovery, architecture, AI integration, workflow design, data and security, then deployment — rather than stopping at prompt engineering.

A progression from enterprise business intelligence and data leadership into building and shipping AI products, and from there into enterprise AI solutions architecture.

Legal, education, healthcare technology, compliance, SaaS and professional services — settings where auditability, access control and human review matter as much as model output.

Enterprise business intelligence and data leadership first. Then building and shipping AI products. Now enterprise AI solutions architecture — which mostly means knowing which of the two previous careers a given problem actually needs.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    Two or three conversations and a look at the actual workflow. The output is a ranked list of what is worth automating and what is not.

  2. 02

    Architecture

    How it would be built: the integration points, the access model, where a human stays in the loop, and what it costs to run.

  3. 03

    Prototype

    One use case, working, against your real process. This is where an internal argument gets settled.

  4. 04

    Implementation

    The production build, integrated with the systems it has to touch, with the audit trail in from the start rather than bolted on.

  5. 05

    Production support

    Ongoing architecture and implementation leadership, as a fractional engagement where that fits better than a hire.
