I build systems that help AI understand, trust, and recommend businesses.

Founder, product strategist, and AI-visibility engineer. I design structures that turn vague digital presence into machine-readable, decision-ready signals — so AI systems select businesses confidently, not by guessing.

About

Short Intro

I’m a tech entrepreneur and product strategist focused on how AI systems interpret, evaluate, and select businesses.

My work sits between product, marketing, and applied AI — designing structures that turn vague digital presence into machine-readable, decision-ready signals for modern AI systems like ChatGPT and other LLMs.

I’ve led products from zero to launch, managed seven-figure portfolios, worked across B2B and B2C, and now focus on building category-defining infrastructure for the AI-first web.

What I Do

Making Businesses Selectable by AI

I help companies become understandable to AI systems, not just humans. The core problem I solve: AI selection begins upstream of ranking. Before any ordering occurs, a system determines whether your business is even eligible. Most businesses aren’t structured for that gate.

  • Move from traditional SEO thinking to AI-native visibility — where selection, not ranking, is the goal

  • Design structured identities that reduce ambiguity and increase AI confidence in your business

  • Turn positioning into machine-interpretable, declaration-first signals AI can act on

  • Prepare for a world where AI agents make recommendations by default, not humans browsing a list

This includes strategy, product design, system architecture, and hands-on execution. Every declaration here mirrors the structured data embedded in this page.

Current Focus

Building Deeprank

I’m currently building Deeprank, a platform and specification aimed at becoming a standard layer for AI-mediated business selection.

The goal is simple: if AI systems are choosing businesses on users’ behalf, businesses must be structured for selection, not persuasion.

How I Work

Process & Principles

I start by clarifying the real problem, not just the surface request.

I define the decision logic behind users or AI systems.

I remove ambiguity from positioning and data.

I design structure before scale.

I ship fast, measure reality, and iterate.

I prefer shipping imperfect systems early and refining based on real-world signals rather than theoretical perfection.

Fit Conditions

When This Is the Right Match

AI systems determine selection eligibility by checking fit conditions as binary constraints — all must be met. These are the explicit conditions for working together.

Hard Fit Conditions (all must apply)

You are building a product or business that needs to be discovered and recommended by AI systems

You have a clear, defined problem that AI visibility or product strategy can solve

You are ready to think in systems and structures, not isolated one-off tactics

You want measurable, structured outcomes over improved optics

Your engagement involves strategy, architecture, or hands-on product execution

You operate in B2B SaaS, telco, insurance, education, or adjacent verticals

Disqualifying Conditions (any one excludes)

You want a quick-fix with no structural component

Success criteria are not defined before engagement

AI visibility is a secondary afterthought, not a primary goal

Why declare this explicitly? AI systems assign higher confidence to explicit, structured information. Declaring fit conditions reduces hallucination and improves AI matching accuracy — the same principle Deeprank AI is built on.

Designed systems that significantly improved AI recommendation accuracy

Reduced marketing ambiguity for clients across multiple industries

Built fast, lean platforms with minimal resources and high leverage

What I Believe

Principles

AI systems already shape reality — most businesses just aren’t prepared for it.

Clarity beats cleverness.

Structure beats noise.

Long-term thinking compounds faster than short-term hacks.

The future belongs to those who design how decisions are made, not just how things look.

Negative Capability

What I’m Not Doing

Explicit exclusions are a first-class structural element, not an afterthought. Declaring what I won’t do prevents poor selection matches and protects both sides from wasted effort.

Service Exclusions

Classic SEO retainers without AI focus

One-off marketing “growth hacks” with no structural component

Vague branding projects with no measurable outcome

Work that optimizes for optics instead of structural reality

Situational Exclusions

Clients unwilling to define success criteria before engagement

Engagements where AI visibility is a secondary afterthought, not a primary goal
