I help consumer brands turn scattered customer and business data into AI-powered systems that route work, draft responses, recommend next steps, and automate repetitive actions.
What I do
I work on the operating layer inside consumer brands — the systems that help sales, support, marketing, and operations teams understand their customers and move faster. That means connecting fragmented data, redesigning clunky workflows, automating repetitive tasks, and using AI where it actually helps.
These projects are based on real internal systems built at a high-growth consumer hardware brand alongside a small, nimble team. Some details have been generalized, but the business problems, workflows, and outcomes are too real.
Cleared a 1,000+ ticket backlog in under two weeks, cut first response time nearly in half, and automated first-touch resolution for the most common ticket types.
Redesigned an overwhelmed support workflow using structured intake, AI classification, smart routing, and AI-handled first responses — so most tickets resolve without an agent touching them.
The support team was handling thousands of tickets per month with a 1,000+ ticket backlog and first reply times approaching 10 days. Agents were capable, but the workflow made speed impossible. Tickets arrived without the information needed to act on them — leading to manual triage, follow-up questions, and delays before any real work could start.
AI support workflows work best when paired with good intake design. Collect the right information upfront, and AI can do more than just classify and route — it can handle the first response entirely. For most common ticket types, that first response is enough. The goal isn’t to replace agents — it’s to resolve the solvable tickets automatically so agents can spend their time on the work that actually requires a person: complex situations, escalations, and the kind of attentive service that builds customer loyalty.
Any team — marketing, sales, leadership — can now get answers to customer questions in plain English, in seconds, with no analyst bottleneck.
Built a unified Customer 360 across seven source systems, then layered on natural language querying so the whole business could actually use it.
The brand had grown quickly but customer understanding hadn’t kept pace. Data lived in seven different systems that didn’t talk to each other. Even when data existed, it wasn’t flexible enough to answer the questions teams actually had. Marketing needed campaign lists. Sales needed account context. Leadership needed to understand how the customer base was shifting. Every request went through the analytics team.
Turned hours of recurring manual order entry into a near-instant automated process for bulk wholesale accounts.
Built a custom tool to convert bulk wholesale invoices into drafted Salesforce orders automatically — submission, approval, and close-out included.
The wholesale team managed a growing network of multi-location retail accounts. When large bulk orders came in — a single invoice spanning multiple locations across several states — reps had to manually enter every line item into Salesforce. A single recurring monthly order could take hours. It was happening regularly, and it was the kind of work that had nothing to do with selling.
The hard part wasn’t the automation itself — it was making the tool flexible enough to handle the real-world messiness of bulk wholesale invoices: inconsistent formats, multiple locations, mixed SKUs. Getting that parsing right is what made the time savings real.
Hakone, Japan
I’m a builder focused on AI-powered business systems for consumer brands. Based in LA, I’ve spent the last few years working inside a fast-growing consumer hardware brand — helping teams connect customer data, redesign workflows, and put AI to practical use across sales, support, and marketing.
I like working close to real business problems. The most interesting projects aren’t clean technical puzzles — they’re messy workflow problems involving people, process, data, and tools that weren’t designed to talk to each other.
I’m also beginning to take on consulting work. I’m especially drawn to consumer brands where the support team is underwater, customer data is scattered across too many places, or manual work is eating into time that should be spent delighting customers. If that sounds familiar, I’d love to hear about it.
If your team is dealing with an overwhelmed support operation, scattered customer data, or manual workflows eating into selling time — I’d love to hear about it. I also have a broader interest in connecting with people building at the intersection of AI, consumer brands, and GTM systems.
