AI Strategy & Discovery
Helping leadership see where AI moves the needle — and where it doesn't. Short, decisive engagements that produce a roadmap teams can actually act on.

Prospectus — 01
A consulting practice for the new frontier.
Wild West AI is an independent consultancy helping operators turn AI from a vague mandate into something working in production. We work with founders, executives and engineering teams to figure out where AI actually moves the needle, then build the systems that get it there — strategy, custom software, integrations, advisory.
The frontier rewards specificity. Vague AI projects fail. We help you scope sharply, build deliberately, and ship what matters.
Practice areas — 02
Four ways we tend to be useful.
Custom AI Software
Production-grade AI systems built end-to-end — LLM applications, agents, retrieval pipelines, automation. Designed to be operated, not demoed.
Integration & Automation
Embedding AI into the workflows, tools and pipelines you already run. Quiet wins that compound — less surface area, more leverage.
Technical Advisory
Ongoing strategic and technical partnership for teams building with AI. Hiring, architecture, model selection, the unsexy decisions that age well.
Engagement — 03
How we work and what it costs.
Project-based engagements typically
$5,000 – $50,000 USD
scoped collaboratively, priced on the work.

Working fromWherever the work is
I've spent the last decade building software at the intersection of design and emerging technology — first as an engineer, then as a founder, now as an operator who happens to write code.
Wild West AI is the practice I always wished I could hire: small, opinionated, technical, and willing to disagree. I work with founders and teams across Europe and the United States who are trying to do something specific with AI — not "transform" with it, but ship something they can be proud of.
If that sounds like the kind of room you're trying to build, I'd be glad to talk.
