Okay so, you're looking for digital transformation. That can mean a lot of things to different people, right? For most businesses in Inglewood, what it boils down to is finding smarter ways to do things, usually with some help from AI or automation. I’m not gonna sell you on some grand, multi-year plan that eats your budget before it even starts. My focus is on delivering tangible results, often starting small and building from there.
I’m a solo operator, which means when you work with me, you get me. No junior consultants, no bouncing around departments. It also means I’m pretty selective about who I work with, to make sure I can give every client my full attention. My goal is to help your Inglewood business actually *use* AI, not just talk about it.
## What I actually do for Inglewood clients
Mostly, I help businesses in Inglewood identify specific problems that AI or automation can solve, and then I build or implement the solution. Think things like setting up an AI model to categorize customer feedback, automating repetitive data entry tasks that eat up your team's time, or even building a custom chatbot to handle common customer inquiries. It's about taking those manual, time-consuming processes and finding a digital way to make them more efficient.
For example, I recently helped a small Inglewood-based logistics company pilot an AI-powered system for predicting delivery delays, which helped them better manage customer expectations. Another project involved creating an automated content generation pipeline for a local marketing agency to help them scale their social media output without hiring more staff. It’s always about finding that one thing that can make a noticeable difference for your business.
## How a Inglewood engagement usually goes
Here’s a rough idea of what it looks like when we work together. I try to keep things pretty structured so everyone knows what to expect.
1. **Weeks 1-2: Discovery & Scoping.** We’ll spend this time understanding your business, your current challenges, and where you think AI or automation could fit in. I’ll ask a lot of questions, look at your existing workflows, and we'll identify 1-2 specific projects that have the most potential for impact. At the end of this phase, I’ll propose a clear, fixed-scope project plan.
2. **Weeks 3-8: Development & Iteration.** This is where I get to work building out the solution. Whether it's developing a custom AI model, integrating existing tools, or setting up automation scripts, I’ll keep you updated frequently. You’ll get regular demos, and we’ll iterate based on your feedback. I like to keep lines of communication wide open.
3. **Weeks 9-10: Testing & Refinement.** We’ll thoroughly test the solution in your environment, making sure it’s doing exactly what it’s supposed to do. This often involves running it alongside your current processes for a bit to compare results. We’ll iron out any kinks and make sure everything is humming along smoothly.
4. **Week 11 onwards: Handover & Support.** Once everything is tested and approved, I’ll hand over the solution, provide any necessary documentation, and train your team on how to use and manage it. I’m also available for ongoing support, should you need it, though my goal is always to make you self-sufficient.
## What it costs, roughly
I prefer fixed-fee engagements for specific projects, so you know exactly what you’re paying upfront. For the kind of pilot projects and automation builds I typically do, you’re usually looking at a range starting from a few thousand dollars on the lower end, going up to twenty or thirty thousand for more complex, multi-week engagements. It really just depends on the scope and complexity of the problem we’re tackling. I’m always transparent about pricing after our initial chat.
## Who I'm usually NOT a fit for
I’m gonna be straight with you. I’m not the right fit for everyone. If you’re a massive corporation with a huge internal IT department and a budget for a whole consulting firm, I’m probably too small for you. I also don’t do "AI strategy without implementation" – I’m here to build things and get them working. If you just want a fancy report with buzzwords, that’s not really my thing. And if you're looking for someone to manage your existing IT infrastructure, I’m not an IT services provider. I focus on specific project delivery.

FAQs — Inglewood
How do I know if AI is worth it for my Inglewood business?
It's worth it if you have a repetitive task, a lot of data to make sense of, or a customer service process that could be more efficient. The key is to start with a clear problem, not just 'wanting AI'.
Do you work with companies outside Inglewood?
Yes, I work with businesses across the U.S. and even internationally. My work is done remotely, so location isn't a barrier. However, I enjoy helping local businesses like those in Inglewood.
What does the first 2 weeks look like?
The first two weeks are all about discovery. We'll have several conversations, I'll review your current processes, and together we'll pinpoint the most impactful AI or automation projects for your business.
Can you integrate AI with my existing software?
Often, yes. My goal is to make AI work within your current setup, not force you into entirely new systems. We'll assess your existing software during the discovery phase to see what's possible.
What kind of ongoing support do you offer after a project is finished?
After a project, I provide documentation and training for your team to manage the solution. I'm also available for ongoing support contracts if you need continued assistance or further enhancements.
