Halifax, Nova Scotia
Your admin overhead
is already a product.
Most Halifax businesses are sitting on solved problems they keep paying to solve — month after month, with their time. I find those workflows and turn them into AI systems that run themselves. Then I help you own that solution.
The landscape
Only 12% of Canadian businesses use AI — Statistics Canada70% of senior executives already do — NBER20 years building systems professionallyThe honest answer
¾ Ethical.
That's the ceiling on any AI system right now — and I'm not going to pretend otherwise.
Open source models are beating Big Tech right now. Three months ago that wasn't true. Today you can run AI workflows that don't write a cheque to OpenAI or Anthropic — and they're competitive. That's the good news.
The honest part: the training data came from somewhere. The hardware was built by someone. The last ¼ is a structural problem no single tool solves. Anyone telling you otherwise is selling something.
I set up LLMs for Halifax businesses so that Big Tech doesn't have you by the bowls.
Right now, most businesses using AI are on rented land. ChatGPT today, price hike tomorrow. By the time you notice the dependency, leaving costs more than staying. The window to build on independent infrastructure is open — it won't stay that way.
Kintsugi — the Japanese art of repairing broken things with gold. Still beautiful. Still useful. Visibly imperfect. That's ¾ ethical AI: the most honest position available.
Open source wins
Models that don't funnel money to OpenAI or Anthropic exist — and they're competitive today.
But training data
Most open models were trained in China, on infrastructure with its own political entanglements.
And the hardware
The chips that run everything come from supply chains that are anything but neutral.
The trigger moment
You know something in your business is costing you — you just haven't priced it yet.
Admin drag
Hours each week on data entry, scheduling, intake forms, and follow-ups that a system could handle in seconds.
Leaking leads
Inquiries going cold because response time is slow, follow-up is manual, and no one has time to qualify them properly.
Reinventing the wheel
Every week the same problem. The workaround that made sense in year one is now your most expensive habit.
Sawdust on the floor
You solved a real problem for your business. Other businesses have the same problem. That solution is worth something.
What I do
I sit with you for an hour and find your sawdust.
After 20 years writing software, I know where time hides in a business. In one session we'll identify one workflow that's ripe for automation — and build it together, live, so you understand exactly how it works.
The goal isn't to make you dependent on me. It's to show you what's possible — and leave you with something running on day one.
Micro Automation Session
One hour, one-on-one. We find a real workflow bottleneck and automate it together. You leave with a working system and the knowledge to build on it.
Book your sessionWhat you walk away with
Not a demo. A working system.
01
A running automation
Something live in your business the same day — not a slide deck, not a roadmap.
02
The logic behind it
You'll understand what it does and why, so you can modify it without calling anyone.
03
A path to productizing it
If your problem is common enough, we'll talk about how to turn your solution into a second revenue stream.
