// what I do

Three ways to work together.

01

Fractional & Retained Advisory

A senior operator on call. Architecture reviews, hiring help, vendor sanity-checks, and a steady hand when the hype cycle spikes.

02

AI Strategy

Where AI actually pays off — and where it's a trap. A prioritized roadmap in plain language, sized to your team, that holds up in front of your board and your engineers.

03

Special AI Projects

Experiments you want to run, projects you want delivered, fully documented.

// about

I’m Phil, and most of the job is demystifying.

Ten years in robotics/machine learning, followed by another ten in product leadership. I’ll give you a sharp opinion when it’s earned — often that your first project should be smaller and more boring than planned — but the real work is translating technical reality into a decision you can defend. Pragmatic, rooted in doing, hype-proof.

Publishing the entire implementation book for every engagement keeps me honest and hands you something rare: proof of exactly how the work gets built, before you commit a dollar.

// questions

Do you really publish everything?

Every engagement ships with a full implementation book — architecture, prompts, evals, and the decisions behind them — published openly. Client data is scrubbed; the method stays in the open.

Who do you work with?

From non-technical SMB owners to enterprise execs and CTOs. The common thread is people wanting pragmatic advice or delivery that isn't hype-based but actually running.

Do you run workshops?

Yes — half-day or full-day workshops to outline AI strategy and build a solid intuition for executives and business owners. Attend once and receive lifetime access to our collection of resources.
