/CONSULTING

Fractional AI lead for studios that ship.

A senior generative AI lead in the room when you need one — without hiring full-time, without bringing in a vendor with a sales deck, and without trusting someone who watched some YouTube. I build the infrastructure that makes this stuff work, in your stack, on your timeline.

[ / SIGNATURE FORMAT ]
"By Friday — an opinion, a prioritized list, and a working prototype.
Not a deck. Not a kickoff slide. The actual thing, running."
/ENGAGEMENT TYPES

Three ways to work together.

Pick the one that matches your situation — or talk to me and we'll figure it out together. Most engagements start with the tool-stack audit and evolve from there.
/ 01
Fractional AI Lead
Embedded in the room.

1–3 days a week, embedded with your team. Strategic direction, technical decisions, hands-on building, and the unglamorous work of getting AI into your existing pipeline without breaking what already works.

Weekly cadence — In your standup or on its own clock
Hands-on building — I do the work, your team learns from it
Strategic direction — Roadmap, vendor calls, hiring input
Direct Slack access — No tickets, no portals
/ 02
Tool-stack audit
Two weeks. Honest answers.

A 2-week diagnostic. Where AI actually fits in your pipeline, where it doesn't, and what to build first. By Friday of week two: a prioritized list, a working prototype of the highest-leverage item, and an honest recommendation.

Pipeline mapping — Where AI helps, where it hurts
Vendor comparison — What to buy vs. what to build
Working prototype — The first useful thing, running
Prioritized roadmap — Six months out, with budget
/ 03
Pipeline integration
Build phase.

A defined project, fixed scope. ComfyUI workflows, custom LoRA training, API integrations, asset management. Usually follows a tool-stack audit, but works standalone if you already know what you want built.

Custom ComfyUI workflows — Yours to keep, documented
LoRA training — Your studio's look, on-demand
API integrations — Into Frame.io, Resolve, whatever
Team handoff — Your people can run it after I leave
/PROCESS

How a typical engagement runs.

01 / SCOPE

A real conversation

30 minutes. Tell me what you're actually trying to do. I tell you whether I can help — and if not, who can.

~ 30 MIN
02 / PROPOSAL

Short and specific

Two-page doc. Scope, timeline, fixed price, deliverables. Sent within a week. Yes or no, no haggling.

~ 1 WEEK
03 / KICKOFF

Day one, shipping

I show up, you point me at the problem, we make something work by end of week one. Then we iterate.

~ 2–4 WK
04 / HANDOFF

You can run it yourselves

Documentation, training, and the thing actually working when I leave. Not a lock-in — a transfer.

END
/CAPABILITIES

What I can actually build.

Custom LoRA training
300+ models trained. Faces, styles, characters, products. SDXL, Flux, Illustrious, Wan.
ComfyUI workflows
Production-grade pipelines. ControlNets, IP-Adapters, regional prompting, batch automation.
Image generation stack
Midjourney, Flux, Nano Banana Pro, Seedream, Qwen-Edit, Krea, Freepik, fal.ai.
Video generation stack
Runway, Sora, Veo, Kling, Higgsfield, Hailuo, Pika. Character consistency, camera control.
API integrations
Plumbing into Frame.io, Resolve, Premiere, asset managers. Webhooks, automation, fal.ai endpoints.
Pre-vis + concept
Storyboards, animatics, location lookdev. The expensive R&D done in a long afternoon.
Cleanup + retouching
Object removal, beauty work, set fixes. The brief that used to take three days.
Hiring + team coaching
Job specs, interview support, onboarding for AI-native roles. I've seen the good and the bad.
Vendor evaluation
A real sniff test on the platforms pitching you. Saves a lot of trial-license money.
/FIT CHECK

Where I add value. And where I don't.

Save us both a call: read this first. I'm not the right person for every brief, and pretending otherwise is how engagements go bad.

/ YES — THIS IS A FIT

  • You're a studio that ships work — commercials, films, content — and AI keeps coming up.
  • You have a real pipeline already and need AI to integrate with it, not replace it.
  • You want someone technical enough to build but creative enough to direct.
  • You'd rather have one good answer in a week than ten options in a month.
  • Your team is open to learning, not just buying.

/ PROBABLY NOT

  • You need SOC 2 / FedRAMP certified AI infrastructure — I'm an indie, not a vendor.
  • You want to replicate a living artist's style without paying them — won't do it.
  • You're looking for a magic prompt that replaces your creative team.
  • You want LLM/chatbot work — that's not my stack. I'll point you to good people.
  • You need a 40-page deck before any work happens.

/START HERE

30 minutes. A real conversation.

Tell me what you're trying to ship, what's in the way, and what your team can already do. I'll tell you what I'd actually do in your position — whether or not it involves hiring me.
