Capabilities
AI consulting that turns prototypes into production capability.
Move beyond chatbots. I run executive workshops, train teams, and implement agentic workflows with guardrails—so AI becomes a durable capability, not a demo.
Agentic Workflow Implementation
I design agentic workflows that plan, implement, and verify work across your codebase. You get repeatable playbooks plus training so your team can run them safely—review checkpoints included.
View the full serviceLegacy Code Modernization
Massive PHP or legacy systems? I modernize foundations so AI can operate safely: boundaries, refactors, and tests that reduce technical debt in weeks, not years.
View the full serviceAI-Ready Team Audit
I lead an executive workshop + engineering audit to map your highest-ROI AI opportunities, governance needs, and the first workflows to automate. You get a roadmap, stack recommendation, and ROI estimate.

Consulting that ends in shipped capability—not a slide deck.
Audit + ROI map
Clear targets for automation, the workflows to tackle first, and a practical ROI estimate—grounded in your constraints (security, data quality, change management).
View the full serviceGuardrails + verification
Patterns for safe agent execution: test strategy, review checkpoints, and failure modes—so speed doesn’t create new risk.
View the full serviceShippable milestones + enablement
A roadmap your team can execute (or I can ship with you): prioritized milestones, acceptance criteria, workshops/training, and a delivery cadence built around demos.

The AI consultant who doesn’t just write reports—I ship products.
I help teams modernize systems and implement agentic workflows that ship. I spent 15+ years building software the hard way—shipping production systems in PHP, .NET, and modern web stacks. Now I use that architectural depth to supervise autonomous agents that do the heavy lifting, so you get speed without losing quality.
I’m also the founder and CEO of Ironcrest Software and 815 Media—two boutiques built on the same principle: exceptional outcomes require technical excellence and real business understanding. No junior handoffs, no offshore layers—just senior engineering and strategy with direct accountability.
Some teams bring me in for an executive workshop, then we stand up agentic workflows (with guardrails) and train the team on repeatable patterns. Others keep me embedded as a fractional senior engineer to execute modernization and AI rollout end-to-end. Either way, you get direct access to the person who verifies the output, owns the trade-offs, and ships.
- Agentic development, not demos Autonomous task planning, codebase execution, and verification loops your team can reuse.
- Modernization that unlocks AI Refactors, test coverage, and platform reliability so agents can work safely inside your stack.
- Flexible engagements Flat-fee roadmaps, monthly sprints, or embedded delivery alongside your team.
Why choose Kevin
AI consulting, workshops, and calm delivery—backed by senior engineering execution.
Strategy that survives production
Executive workshops, roadmaps, and guardrails that make AI useful and safe—then translated into a build plan your team can execute.
Clear, accountable delivery
Weekly demos, Loom walkthroughs, and training moments keep work visible, aligned, and adopted.
UX that gets adopted
Interfaces and workflow details that make internal tools and copilots feel obvious—not “yet another dashboard.”
Enterprise WordPress engineering
Custom themes/plugins and performance tuning that keep content systems fast—and structured enough to support future AI use cases.
