busyworkLife's work
We help growing teams automate operations, ship AI that works, and pass the compliance audits that close enterprise deals.
The problems we solve.
Real challenges we are built to solve.
How we work
Your team, extended. Not replaced.
We don't hand you a deliverable and disappear. We work alongside your people, in your tools, on your cadence, until the work is done and your team can carry it forward.
In your Slack by day one.
We join your channels, your standups, and your planning sessions. You are not managing a vendor on the outside - you have a technical partner on the inside who knows your codebase, your constraints, and your deadlines.
Scoped to what actually matters.
No six-month roadmaps built on guesswork. We start with the highest-impact problem, prove the approach in weeks, and expand from there. Every hour of work ties directly to a business outcome you care about.
Three clients at a time. Maximum.
This is a small, senior practice by design. Taking on fewer engagements means deeper context, faster responses, and work that does not get handed to someone you have never met.
Who you'll work with
One engineer on every engagement, from brief to delivery.
Decade long experienced engineer, second hire at a quantitative SaaS platform built for Wall Street. Built the pricing engine at the core of the product. Hired, onboarded and managed engineers throughout my whole career. Then founded an AI company, building agent systems when there was not a word for "agents" yet. Specialized in optimizing workflows utilizing the right tools whether that is Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Heuristic programming and others...
How we are different.
No six-week discovery phase.
You will not get a 40-page SOW before anything happens. We scope tight, start small, and prove the approach works before scaling it. First deliverable in weeks, not months.
Small practice. Nowhere to hide.
Big firms move on to the next deal whether your project works or not. We are a solo senior practitioner with a reputation built over a decade in startups — if the work does not deliver, there is no one else to blame. That is the accountability you get when you hire the person, not the brand.
Honest about what AI can do.
AI can genuinely accelerate parts of your business. It cannot do everything vendors claim. We will tell you where it fits and where it does not - before you spend six figures finding out the hard way.

What the LiteLLM Supply Chain Attack Teaches Us About Securing AI Infrastructure
On March 24, 2026, attackers published backdoored versions of LiteLLM to PyPI using credentials stolen through a compromised security scanner in LiteLLM's own CI/CD pipeline. The incident exposed a pattern we see across nearly every AI deployment: the packages that aggregate the most credentials receive the least scrutiny. Organizations that treated their AI supply chain like critical infrastructure were unaffected. Here is what they did differently.
