Case Studies

Real-world Impact

Case study (01)

Saving a non-profit $15,000 a year

Client: Parents for Public Schools

The problem: An old office server kept crashing, disabling email and costing $15,000 a year in constant vendor repair fees.

What we did: Secured 100% free non-profit Microsoft 365 cloud grants and migrated the entire 17–20 person team off the physical server.

$15,000 Saved every year. The repair bill is gone.
70% Boost in uptime.
100% Remote-ready before COVID.

Private local AI for tax and expense automation

Built and used internally · Privacy-first financial automation

The problem: Manual tax receipt processing took 10–13 hours. Uploading financial data to public AI created severe privacy risks.

What we did: Built a 100% offline local AI pipeline for my own tax records that maps receipts directly to tax categories, with every line item validated.

13h → 90m Processing time.
100% Data privacy.
$0 Recurring software fees.
Case study (03)

The AI Chief of Staff

Built and used internally · Automated executive briefings

The problem: Executives waste hours digging through email and project tools like Asana and Monday.com to track team statuses.

What we did: Built an automated briefing system for my own use that digests activity across project platforms and email into daily and weekly summaries.

Daily Briefing for leadership.
Weekly Summary of project progress.
