Work with me
Most people selling AI work have never owned the process they are automating. I own mine.
Workflow sprint
One manual process, two to four weeks, a working tool your team actually uses.
Internal tooling
Intake, scoring, routing, document generation. The unglamorous software that decides whether a team ships.
Voice and document pipelines
Transcription, summarization, and retrieval over your own calls and files. Answers with sources.
AI agents on your own data
Agents that read your systems and act inside them, scoped so you can see and undo everything they did.
Advisory for proptech and AI vendors
You sell to real estate operators. I am one. I will tell you where your product loses the room.
Second opinion before you fund a build
Someone quoted you a number. I will tell you what actually gets delivered.
Hello, I'm Paul
I spent 15 years in enterprise network engineering, ending as Director of IP Networking at Windstream. What carried forward is change control, blast radius, and rollback. The reason most AI projects die is not the model.
Since 2015 I have closed roughly 40 commercial real estate transactions. I run Real Estate 101, where I teach everyday investors to buy commercial property the way I do. The software I ship started as tools for my own work.
Computer systems engineering at the University of Arkansas. MBA from UA Little Rock. Little Rock is home, with my wife and kids.
