Okay so, this page is a little different. I’m A.I. Consulting LLC, a solo operator. That means when you work with me, you're working with *me*. No big teams, no fancy offices, just one guy trying to help businesses like yours figure out how to use these newfangled AI tools without getting lost in the hype. I’ve been doing this a while, and my goal is pretty simple: deliver actual value, not just a bunch of buzzwords.
I specialize in machine learning and data science because, frankly, that’s where most of the actionable stuff happens. Whether it’s predicting what customers will do next, finding patterns in your mountains of data, or automating some tedious task, there's usually a way to make your business smarter. And I try to keep it grounded, focusing on practical outcomes you can measure, right here in Jacksonville.
## What I actually do for Jacksonville clients
Mostly, I help Jacksonville businesses take their data and turn it into something useful. Think about it: every transaction, every customer interaction, every inventory movement — that’s all data. My job is to sift through that, build a model that understands what's going on, and then deploy it so it actually *does* something for you. Maybe it's predicting demand so you don't overstock, identifying customers likely to churn, or optimizing your pricing strategy.
Typical projects might involve building a custom prediction model for your sales forecast, setting up an automated system to flag unusual activity in your financial data, or even just helping you get your existing data organized enough to ask the right questions. I'm not really here to build you a whole new software platform, but if there's a specific problem that machine learning can solve, I'm your guy. I'm all about getting a pilot project off the ground that shows real ROI, not just endless consulting reports.
## How a Jacksonville engagement usually goes
Here’s how I usually work with clients in the Jacksonville area, from start to finish. I like to keep things straightforward and focused on getting results:
1. **The Initial Chat (Week 1):** We kick off with a free 20-minute call. This isn't a sales pitch; it's just a quick chat to see if your problem is even a good fit for machine learning or data science. If it is, great. If not, I’ll tell you straight. No obligation. If we both think there’s something there, we schedule a deeper dive, usually an hour or two, to really unpack your challenge and what success looks like for you. 2. **Discovery & Proposal (Weeks 1-2):** After that deeper dive, I'll take a few days to digest everything. I'll look at your data (if you can share some anonymized samples) and put together a clear, fixed-price proposal. This proposal outlines the problem I'll solve, the approach I'll take, the specific deliverables (e.g., a prediction model, a report, a data pipeline), and a timeline. No surprises here. 3. **Project Execution (Weeks 3-8, varies):** Once we agree, I get to work. This involves a lot of hands-on data wrangling, model building, and testing. I’ll keep you updated frequently, usually with short weekly check-ins, so you always know what’s happening. My goal here is to deliver a working solution that addresses the specific problem we identified, quickly and efficiently. This isn't some black box operation, you'll see progress. 4. **Delivery & Handoff (Week 8+):** When the project is complete, I deliver the solution, provide any necessary documentation, and walk you through how to use it. If it's a model, I'll explain how it works and how to interpret its outputs. If it's an automated process, I'll make sure you understand how to run it. My aim is always to leave you with something truly useful that you can either operate yourself or have your team manage going forward.
## What it costs, roughly
Okay so, I generally work on a fixed-fee basis for defined projects. That means once we agree on the scope, you know exactly what you’ll pay. No hourly meter running up unexpectedly. For most pilot projects or initial model builds for Jacksonville businesses, you're usually looking at a range of $8,000 to $25,000, depending heavily on the complexity and data availability. Smaller, more defined tasks, like a data audit or a quick proof-of-concept, might be less. More involved projects, or those requiring significant data engineering work, could be more.
I don’t do retainers for vague
FAQs — Jacksonville
How do I know if AI is worth it for my Jacksonville business?
The best way is a quick chat. I look for specific business problems where data and predictions can directly impact revenue, cost savings, or efficiency. If you have a problem that repeats, involves lots of data, and has a clear financial impact, there’s a good chance AI could help.
Do you only work with companies in Jacksonville?
While I love working with local Jacksonville businesses, I can work remotely with clients across Florida and the US. Most of my work is done virtually, so location isn't usually a barrier.
What does the first 2 weeks of an engagement look like?
The first two weeks involve our initial conversation, a deeper dive into your business problem and data, and then me putting together a clear, fixed-price proposal that outlines exactly what I'll do and what you'll get. It's all about clarity and setting expectations.
What kind of data do I need to have?
You typically need access to your business data – things like sales records, customer interactions, website analytics, inventory logs, or operational metrics. The cleaner and more organized your data is, the faster and more effective the project will be.
Can you integrate the AI solution into my existing systems?
I can definitely help with the practical aspects of integrating a model or solution. This might involve providing code, setting up API endpoints, or advising your internal team on the best way to deploy it into your current workflow. The goal is always to make it usable.
