Sound Familiar?

If any of this is hitting, you're not alone. It's the shape of every conversation I'm in right now with non-technical operators watching AI move and feeling the gap.

  • Your competitors are doing something with AI.

    You're not sure what, and you don't have anyone on staff who can tell you.

  • Your board, biggest client, or operations lead asked about your AI strategy.

    You don't have a real answer, just a list of vendor demos.

  • Hiring a head of AI is six months and three hundred thousand.

    By the time they're ramped, the landscape has moved again.

  • You bought a couple of AI tools.

    The team never adopted them. The work hasn't changed.

  • You have a list of workflows AI could obviously handle.

    No one on the team is senior enough to ship them without breaking production.

  • Your team is already using Claude on their own.

    You can't tell what's working. No guardrails, no visibility, every person reinventing the same prompt in a different tab.

If two of these are you, keep reading.

What my 10+ years of work sounds like

"Sean was able to 2x the dev count on Flow during the Crescendo upgrade: A huge update that broke nearly every smart contract deployed on the network! He was able to reactivate a bunch of churned devs and turned a massive upheaval into a big win. I was really glad for his leadership through that maelstrom."
Dieter ShirleyChief Architect, Flow FoundationCreator of ERC-721
"Sean scaled Dapper Wallet from 8 to 40 engineers and transformed it into an ecosystem platform processing over $1B. Enabled dozens of businesses in the Flow ecosystem through open standards. Real impact."
Roham GharegozlouCEO, Dapper LabsCreator of NBA Top Shot & CryptoKitties
"Sean led our Next Edge initiative - reimagining Mastercard's card processing for the cloud. He brought innovation velocity to an enterprise R&D environment, delivered working prototypes, and drove architecture decisions. Technical depth, business communication, and navigated enterprise complexity seamlessly."
Matt RamellaVice President of Software Engineering, Mastercard
"Sean joined while we were supporting a major pharma partnership. He ramped up fast, owned the integration layer (SDKs, APIs, auth), and shipped what we needed to make external collaboration work. High-quality output, real impact. Would work with him again in a heartbeat."

How I Can Help

Start with a Roadmap, then move to Build or Run.

  1. Start here

    Roadmap

    The front door. Two weeks. A prioritized map of where AI saves time or makes money, sized against your numbers and sequenced by leverage, plus one lightweight working prototype.

    1. 1

      Map the surface

      I meet your team, get into your tools, and baseline how the work actually gets done.

    2. 2

      Find and rank

      Every workflow examined for where AI saves time or makes money, then sequenced by leverage.

    3. 3

      Deliver the plan

      The prioritized map, the dollar sizing, and what to build first, handed off so your team can act on it.

    Guarantee Find-It-or-Free. In two weeks the Roadmap identifies at least $16,000 in quantified opportunity, reviewed and agreed with you. If it doesn't, the Roadmap is free.

  2. Then, for hands-on work

    Build

    The hands-on monthly. Senior hands shipping production automation from the Roadmap backlog.

    1. 1

      Subscribe and get your Build board

      Within one business day. The Roadmap backlog you came in with seeds the queue.

    2. 2

      One active task at a time

      Work is scoped, queued, and tracked on your Build board so the thing in flight actually moves.

    3. 3

      Ship into your stack

      Real integrations and automations running in production. Yours, owned by you, no vendor lock-in.

    Guarantee Payback Guarantee. Within 90 days, something I've shipped is delivering savings that cover its own monthly fee on a forward run-rate. If it isn't, I keep building at no additional charge until it does. The metric and baseline are agreed in writing before Build starts.

  3. Or, to monitor usage and keep your team leveling up

    Run

    The scalable monthly. I watch how your team is actually using Claude so you don't have to, and coach them on what the data shows.

    1. 1

      Subscribe

      Brief intake so I understand your team, tools, and where AI is already in use.

    2. 2

      Standards and admin access

      Guardrails in place. I get visibility into how your team is actually using Claude.

    3. 3

      Coaching driven by your data

      Monthly sessions targeted at what your telemetry shows. Quarterly status report a non-technical owner can act on.

Frequently Asked Questions

We don't have an internal AI lead. Does that matter?
That's exactly who this is built for. Most of the companies I work with don't have someone internal who can own AI, and they don't want to fake it with a junior person on the side. The whole point of working with me is that you get senior AI judgment in the business without making the hire. I sit in the seat your head of AI would sit in, on subscription, and your team gets the answers and the shipped work without you having to evaluate a candidate you can't really evaluate.
We bought a bunch of AI tools and got noise. Why is this different?
Tools without a system get you noise. Every company I talk to has a graveyard of subscriptions nobody adopted. The Roadmap is the system. Two weeks of mapping where AI actually saves time or makes money in your specific business, ranked in rough dollars and sequenced by what to build first. Build is where that plan gets shipped into production. Run keeps the team actually using what got shipped. The tools were never the problem. The judgment about which ones, in which order, wired into which workflow, was.
Do we have to hire a head of AI to take this seriously?
No, and this is the alternative to that hire. A head of AI runs roughly $200K all-in, takes months to recruit, and is genuinely hard to evaluate when you don't have an AI background yourself. You'd be betting a senior comp line on a hire you can't sanity-check. Working with me costs a fraction of that and ships now, with someone who has already built systems that can't fail at companies like Mastercard and Dapper Labs. When you're ready to make AI a permanent in-house function, I help you hire the right person and hand off everything I've been doing.
Will this work for a services business?
Yes. Services, operations, agency, staffing, and back-office-heavy businesses are the right fit, not the exception. The signal I'm looking for is a people-and-process company with real revenue and real competitive pressure showing up around AI. If your competitors are starting to move on AI and you can feel the gap widening, that's the trigger. Engineering-heavy startups with their own technical leadership are usually a worse fit, because they need hands, not a brain.
How do Roadmap, Build, and Run fit together?
Roadmap is the front door. Two weeks, flat rate, ending with a prioritized opportunity map, ROI sized against your own numbers, one lightweight working prototype, and a sequenced plan for what to build first, handed off so your team can act on it. Find-It-or-Free is attached: it identifies at least $16,000 in quantified opportunity, or it's free. Build is the hands-on monthly where that plan gets shipped into production, one active task at a time. Run is the scalable monthly that keeps the team using what got shipped, with governance, admin of team AI access, and coaching driven by your team's actual Claude usage data. Start with a Roadmap, then move to Build or Run. Some clients run on both.
What does the Roadmap actually produce?
A prioritized opportunity map across every part of your business, with each workflow examined for where AI saves time or makes money. ROI sized against your own numbers, not industry averages. One lightweight working prototype, a prompt, an agent, or a single workflow, built during the engagement so you see a real AI win and not just a deck. A clear sequence for what to build first and what to skip, with the reasoning behind every rank written so your team can act on it. The whole thing is handed off so you can run with it, in or out of a Build engagement. The work is done by someone who built payment systems that couldn't fail at Mastercard and scaled the platform team that ran $1B+ in transactions at Dapper Labs, so the prioritization comes from someone who has actually shipped at scale. Find-It-or-Free is attached: in two weeks the Roadmap identifies at least $16,000 in quantified opportunity, reviewed and agreed with you, or the Roadmap is free.
What's inside the AI Opportunity Map?
Every workflow in your business ranked for where AI saves time or makes money, sized against your own numbers and sequenced by what to build first. It also includes two things most assessments leave out: a ready-to-adopt AI usage policy your team can put in place on day one, and a shortlist of the AI tools that actually fit your business, plus the longer list of what to skip so you stop paying for subscriptions nobody adopts.
What happens after the two weeks are up?
The map and the working prototype are yours to keep, whether or not you continue with me. You also get 30 days of board and email access after delivery, so the plan doesn't stall the first time a question comes up or something needs a small adjustment. If you move into Build, that backlog seeds the queue and we keep going. If you don't, you still walk away with a prioritized plan your team can act on.
What if we want to bring the work in-house later?
That's part of the design. When you're ready to make AI a permanent in-house function, I help you hire the right person and transition everything I've been doing to them. Run is built for the companies that aren't ready, or don't want, to manage this in-house themselves. The handoff is part of the engagement, not an exit fee.
Can I cancel Build or Run anytime?
Yes. Build and Run are both month-to-month. Cancel before the next billing cycle and you're done. Everything I built for you while you were subscribed stays with you, owned by you. Roadmap is a flat-rate 2-week engagement, so cancellation works differently. If you need to pause partway through, we work it out.
What if I'm not technical and can't evaluate the work?
That's what Run is built for. The non-technical owner gets monthly coaching targeted at what your team's actual Claude usage shows, plus a quarterly status report written in business terms. The real answer to 'what is my team doing with AI and is any of it working' comes back in plain language, not a screenshot of a dashboard. On Build, there's also the Payback Guarantee: within 90 days something I've shipped is delivering savings that cover its own monthly fee on a forward run-rate, or I keep building at no extra fee until it does. The metric and the baseline get agreed in writing before Build starts, so the success criteria are something you can read, not something you have to be technical to judge.
