Limited Mentorship

for AI Literacy and Lasting Transformation

After 30 years bridging the gap between business innovators and the technical teams who bring ideas to life, I’m excited to help business leaders understand the remarkable moment we’re in and to BUILD a bright future with AI. Lasting transformation never starts with technology. It starts with empowered people.

BUILD AI Framework

I provide limited, professional mentoring to people and small teams who want to develop their own competencies. For those seeking full solution stacks, multi-agent AI orchestration, and a technology partner at scale, I'm excited to share the great work we're doing at Soaring Titan, Inc.

Believe

in Your People

Your team understands your challenges better than any outsider ever could.

No consultant will ever grasp your business like the people living it daily. The BUILD Framework starts here: recognizing that your existing team — from customer service to finance — already possesses the most critical ingredient for AI success: deep domain knowledge.

When you believe in your people, you empower them:
  • To develop an "AI-first" mindset across the entire organization.
  • To become irreplaceable problem-solvers, not redundant costs.
  • To tackle challenges that used to require expensive consultants.

Upskill

Through Teaching

Transform capabilities through hands-on mentoring, not theoretical training.

Effective AI adoption requires human guides with a teacher's heart — professionals who understand AI deeply but care about people even more. Think of me as your fractional CTO for AI empowerment, teaching your company to fish in the new AI ocean.

What this upskilling delivers:
  • Build Working Software in Hours, Not Months — Even non-technical staff master AI-powered workflows.
  • Slash Development Costs While Gaining Control — Stop paying to outsource software to junior devs.
  • Master Conversational Development — Move from "vibe coding" to viable code through proper patterns.

Implement

Practical Solutions

Turn AI knowledge into tangible business outcomes.

The BUILD Framework focuses on real-world applications that drive immediate value.

Your team learns to wield AI for practical challenges:
  • Modernize Legacy Systems — Even when original developers are long gone.
  • Backfill Missing Documentation — Bridge years of knowledge gaps overnight.
  • Transform Knowledge into Content — Generate proposals from past projects, presentations from training materials.
  • Reimagine Online Services — Build and deploy conversational AI agents over existing data and APIs.
  • Optimize for the "Answer Economy" — Maintain visibility as people choose AI answers over search and website.
  • Revolutionize Go-to-Market — Define ICPs with data, personalize outreach at scale.

Live

Balanced Lives

3X productivity, then go home on time.

I don't teach AI to make people work harder. I teach it so your team can accomplish 3x more in less time, then close their laptops. The BUILD Framework recognizes that sustainable success requires energized, fulfilled people.

The work-life transformation:
  • Accomplish more in less time.
  • Pursue creative challenges you never had time for.
  • Leave the office energized, not exhausted.
  • Read to your kids, pursue passions, remember why you love your work.

Develop

Lasting Autonomy

Build permanent capabilities, not temporary dependencies.

Unlike traditional consultants who build and leave, the BUILD Framework creates self-sufficiency. You maintain full ownership of your intellectual property while developing internal expertise that stays forever.

Long-term benefits include:
  • Permanent in-house AI capabilities.
  • Full governance and control of your solutions.
  • Ability to adapt as AI technology evolves.
  • A sustainable future where technology amplifies human creativity.
