What I build

Founder-operated businesses run on the founder: the follow-ups, the reporting, the knowledge that lives in one person's head. I build the layer that changes that — an AI operating system: a set of agents that take over the repetitive work, installed on the stack the business already runs.

Most engagements start with the AI Second Brain — a fixed-scope build that turns scattered company knowledge into one memory layer every later agent plugs into. From there, businesses scale into a running AI department: ecommerce and DTC brands are the primary track, coaching and expert businesses the second. Builds have shipped across education, real estate, and ecommerce, and I take three build slots a month.

How I work

• Validated actions, not narrated ones. An agent claiming it sent the email doesn't count. The sent email counts. Every action is checked against its real side-effect.
• Human approval until autonomy is earned. Every outbound action starts as a draft the owner approves. An action type runs on its own only after a sustained low override rate.
• Your stack, your data, your numbers. Built on the tools the business already uses, measured on the business's own metrics — not a vendor dashboard. One-click revocation, and every runbook stays with the client on exit.
• Dogfooded first. Helix itself runs on the same second brain and agent patterns it sells. What you buy is what runs this company.
