Forward Deployed Engineer · AI Enablement Partner

I build AI toolsthat run your operation.

I build custom AI tools that do the repetitive work in your business — so you spend less on software and your team gets time back. No engineers to hire. I set it up, make it work, and teach your team to run it.

What I do for your operation

Real AI tools, built for your business. We can start with one project or do the whole thing — find what to fix, build it, and train your team.

01

Find what to fix

I look at how your business runs and find where AI would save the most time and money. You get a clear plan: what to build first and what it's worth.

02

Build the tools

Automations, dashboards and AI assistants made to fit how you work. Real, working software in weeks, not a slideshow.

03

Train your team

I teach your team to use and update the tools themselves, so you don't stay dependent on me or anyone else.

The outcome

A leaner operation that runs on tools built for it. Less software to buy, less manual work, and a team that owns its own AI.

What I've done in my own company

I rebuilt my company's entire operation with AI — the CRM, the website, orders, the customer app — and cut our software bill by more than 100×, with no developers.

FAQ

Quick answers. I'll tailor scope and pricing to your operation.

An AI Enablement Partner defines the right processes, builds the custom AI tools and agents that run them, and trains your team to own them, so the capability stays in-house. Unlike an advisor who delivers a strategy deck, an enablement partner ships production-grade software. Built, not advised.

A Fractional Head of AI is a part-time senior operator who sets your AI strategy and roadmap, then builds and deploys the tools that deliver it, without the cost of a full-time executive. For founders and SMEs, it turns 'we should use AI' into working systems in weeks, not quarters.

A Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) embeds inside your business, builds production-grade tools on the ground, and owns whether they actually work — the model Palantir pioneered and that OpenAI, Anthropic and Google now hire for. That is exactly how I work with founders and SMBs: no strategy deck — I deploy into your operation, ship the custom AI tools and agents that run it, and train your team to own them. A Forward Deployed Engineer for small teams. Built, not advised.

A consultant advises and hands you a report. I do the strategy, then build the custom tools, automations and agents that run your operation, and train your team to maintain them. The test: do you get slides, or working software? Casabe ships software. Built, not advised.

Custom internal tools, automations and AI agents shaped to your operation — CRMs/ERPs, dashboards, dispatch, customer-facing flows — using Claude, ChatGPT, Make, n8n, Ninox, Glide and similar. Production-grade, not prototypes.

No. I move fast on high-leverage tools, reduce complexity, and train your team to own them. When volume demands it, we transition to a larger team smoothly.

Founders, SMEs and traditional businesses that want to modernize operations, cut software cost, and actually adopt AI — not just talk about it.

A short, low-risk audit. Then a 7-day plan with prioritized use-cases and a build roadmap. If it makes sense, we execute in sprints.
