Our Manifesto: AI Product Consultancy

Bringing philosophical rigor to AI development

Expert guidance for organizations building AI systems with purpose and precision

Experience that matters

With over 20 years building products across SaaS, digital signage, and enterprise communications, I bring a perspective grounded in both philosophical rigor and practical execution.

I co-founded Automotive Broadcasting Network, a national SaaS media platform powering 12,000+ automotive endpoints across interactive systems, digital signage, and OEM networks, and led it through acquisition by Spectrio. As VP of Product Management at Spectrio, I spearheaded platform consolidation across multiple legacy systems, modernized our flagship CMS with AI-enhanced workflows and advanced analytics, and directed product strategy across the company's SaaS and digital-experience platforms.

Today, I'm deeply immersed in AI—researching, prototyping, and developing practical applications that connect emerging technology to real operational value. I help organizations design intelligent product ecosystems and go-to-market strategies that elevate customer experience without sacrificing sustainability or thoughtfulness.

The Axis Praxis Constitution

Open-source governance framework for AI-assisted software development. Thirteen articles covering chain of command, mandatory planning, code quality enforcement, debugging hierarchy, prohibited actions, and amendment processes—every rule written in response to a real production failure. When you run AI coding agents against a production codebase, you need more than prompts. You need a constitution. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, or anything that reads a CLAUDE.md.

AI Bridge MCP

Open-source MCP server for multi-agent coordination. When you run multiple AI coding agents against the same codebase, someone has to coordinate them—and it shouldn't be you. The bridge provides structured checkpoints, per-agent guidance channels, auto-read hooks, and constitutional compliance checking. File-based, no database, no WebSocket—just JSON on disk that any agent can read. Born from running three Claude Code agents in parallel against a production app and nearly losing my mind.

Email Intelligence Platform

Knowledge archaeology for the digital age. Transforms 20 years of Apple Mail archives into searchable intelligence using RAG architecture—463,000 emails, 11GB, 16 years of context made semantically searchable. What patterns emerge when you can finally query your entire communicative history? Mac users are an underserved wedge market for this kind of tooling.

PM Operations Copilot

Agentic assistant exploring the boundaries between human judgment and machine orchestration in complex project management. Automates meeting intelligence and status aggregation while preserving the critical human role in risk assessment and stakeholder navigation—investigating what aspects of leadership can be augmented versus what must remain irreducibly human.

Retail Automotive Marketing Agent

Examining the tension between scale and authenticity in local marketing. Manages web properties, advertising, and campaigns across hundreds of dealerships while preserving the local character that makes each one distinct—exploring whether personalization at scale is genuine or performative.

M&A Due Diligence AI Agent

Epistemological experiment in automated analysis. Ingests virtual data rooms to perform comprehensive due diligence while confronting the limits of pattern recognition without lived experience. Where does machine analysis end and human judgment begin? What risks are visible only to those who've built companies, not just those who've read about them?

Document parsing · Cross-reference mapping · Structured extraction

Active Research

Exploring AI applications in operational intelligence, supply chain visibility, and technical workflow automation. Focus on tools that solve real problems without creating new ones.
