AI Strategy + Implementation

Most businesses know they need AI.
Few know where to start.

I find the highest-ROI place to plug in AI, then build it for you. From local service businesses to enterprise teams. Most see results in weeks, not months. And you don't need a tech team.

And if AI isn't the right move for you, I'll be the first to say so.

I'll tell you if AI is right for your business — and if it is, I'll engineer it. Free 30-minute call. 2-3 openings per month.

Why It Matters

Most businesses haven't figured out AI yet.
Here's what that gap actually looks like.

01

The adoption gap

Florida has 2.8 million small businesses, 99.8% of all FL businesses, concentrated in services, healthcare, real estate, and hospitality. Office and admin roles make up 12% of the workforce but only 7.9% of AI usage. The Anthropic Economic Index shows these industries have the biggest gap between AI's potential and actual adoption.

96% of Florida businesses are in service industries. The most under-served by AI adoption.
02

Augmentation, not replacement

57% of real AI usage is augmentation: people collaborating with AI, not being replaced by it. But 80% of employees still have AI anxiety. This pattern holds at every scale, from a 5-person practice to a 500-person department. The opportunity is bridging that gap with trust and training.

57% of AI usage is augmentation. People collaborating with AI, not replaced by it.
03

Same pattern, every scale

Local service businesses waste hours on admin that AI handles in seconds. Enterprise teams buy platforms nobody adopts. Only 4% of jobs use AI for the majority of their tasks. The pattern is the same everywhere: tools without strategy, strategy without training.

4% of jobs use AI for 75%+ of tasks. Everyone else is barely scratching the surface.

The businesses that close this gap now don't just catch up. They set the pace for their industry.

Why Austin

I build AI systems that people actually use.

I build AI and machine learning systems for enterprise brands at one of the world's leading digital advertising agencies: forecasting models, clustering algorithms, agentic pipelines. The kind of infrastructure that major automotive and government clients rely on to make multimillion-dollar decisions.

I also work with local service businesses who are seeing the same pattern from the other side: getting sold complexity they don't need, by people who don't understand the gap between the tools and the strategy.

Whether you're a 5-person practice or a 500-person department, the gap is the same. It's not the technology. It's knowing which tools to use, how to integrate them, and whether they're actually worth it for your specific situation. I follow the same implementation methodology Anthropic uses with their enterprise partners — strategy, pilot, production, deploy — adapted for businesses that move fast and don't have an engineering team.

That last part matters. If AI isn't the right move for you right now, I'll tell you in the first 30 minutes.

Enterprise depth. Startup speed. Complete transparency.

Why 88% Stall
The Agentic Way
The Pattern That Stalls
  • Automation-first, skips augmentation
  • Tools without strategy or training

  • Team anxiety ignored (80% fear AI)
  • Six-month pilots that quietly get shelved
The Agentic Way
  • Augmentation first: build trust, then automate
  • 2-8 week bridge: define, build, embed
  • ROI measured before you spend a dollar
  • Data-backed strategy, not vendor hype
  • Local, accountable, Florida based

Common Questions

Before you reach out.

How much does an AI engagement cost?

Every engagement is scoped to your situation, so pricing varies. Book a free 30-minute discovery call and I will walk you through what makes sense for your team and budget.

Do I need a tech team to use AI?

No. I handle the full implementation and train your existing team to use the tools confidently. No internal tech team required.

What if I don't actually need AI?

If AI isn't the right fit for your business, I'll be the first to say so. Education comes first. If there's a quick fix that doesn't require AI, I'll tell you that instead.

Who is this for?

Any business looking to save time, generate more leads, or compete more effectively with AI. I work with local service businesses (healthcare, real estate, hospitality) and enterprise teams alike. The problems are the same at every scale: tools without strategy, strategy without adoption.

Do you only work with Florida businesses?

No. I'm based in Tampa Bay and a lot of my local work focuses on Florida's service industries, but I work with businesses everywhere. Enterprise engagements, remote teams, national companies. If AI can help your business, location doesn't matter.
