Fractional AI Lead
Senior AI leadership for your team — without the $300k salary. 10 hours/week of hands-on guidance.
What You Get
A seasoned AI practitioner embedded with your team. I help you build the right things, the right way — and upskill your team along the way.
What's Included
- 10 hours/week of dedicated time
- Architecture decisions — Design reviews, tech stack guidance, build vs. buy analysis
- Hands-on building — I write code alongside your team, not just advise
- Team mentorship — Pair programming, code reviews, knowledge transfer
- Vendor navigation — Cut through AI hype, evaluate tools objectively
- Async access — Slack/email questions answered within 24 hours
How It Works
- Weekly sync — 60-minute standing meeting to review progress and priorities
- Embedded work — I join your Slack, access your repos, attend relevant meetings
- Flexible hours — Use time for strategy, building, or debugging as needed
Best For
- Teams building AI features without in-house AI expertise
- Companies not ready to hire a full-time AI lead ($250-400k/year)
- Startups moving fast and needing senior guidance
What This Isn't
- A consulting firm sending junior people
- High-level advice without implementation
- A long-term dependency — goal is to upskill your team
