AI consulting
Straight answers on where AI fits your operation — and where it doesn’t. Quoting, paperwork, correspondence, scheduling, reporting: I find the work a machine should be doing and set it up so your crew actually uses it.
designer. engineer. operator.
AI consulting and custom web systems for Nevada County businesses.
I find the bottleneck, design the tool, and build it — one problem at a time. One person, both disciplines: design and engineering.
01What I do
Web systems
Custom web apps for daily operations — ordering, inventory, freight, compliance, customer portals, internal tools. Small, exact software that runs on any device and connects to what you already use: QuickBooks, Google Workspace, spreadsheets, email.
Design + engineering
Years directing Los Angeles galleries trained the eye. Running a manufacturer — and building its software — trained the engineering. You get both in one contract: tools that work hard and look considered doing it.
02How I work
In person, on site. I come to your shop, floor, or office and watch how the work actually happens — the best software decisions are made standing where the problem is. I install the tool myself and train your people until it sticks. English and Spanish, both fluently.

03Terms

The typical contract. A complete system — designed, built, installed, and taught.
Ongoing
After delivery I stay available: help here and there, when needed.
04Background
Manufacturing taught me systems. Galleries taught me the eye. Both show up in the work.
Owner · Co-CEO · CTOSince 2010
Premium Nut & Dried Fruit Co.
A wholesale manufacturer of nuts and dried fruit. As co-CEO, CTO, and creative director I tripled gross sales in five years, ran operations at $6M in annual sales with major-retailer accounts, and developed the food-safety and quality programs. I still build the company’s software — ordering, freight, inventory, compliance.

Ceradon Gallery, Los Angeles
Launched and directed a contemporary gallery in Echo Park, running exhibitions for emerging artists. The program landed the covers of CARLA and Artillery.
Global administration2024 — 2025

Managed global administration for the gallery across Los Angeles, New York, and Tokyo — VIP events, contract negotiations, vendors, cost control.

05Selected systems
Nevada City Nut Co. — wholesale ordering. 487-product catalog, bilingual EN/ES
One app, three complete themes — a design system, not a template
Premium Nut OPUS — operations hub: freight desk, inventory, time clock, food-safety compliance
Premium Nut ordering — wholesale accounts, case logic, custom lists
All four built solo — design, engineering, deployment — for businesses I run or ran. Yours would join this list.
06Contact
Start with a visit. Walk me through the operation and tell me what’s slowing you down — I’ll tell you honestly what’s worth building, and what isn’t.
