You know AI could help your business. I'll show you exactly how.
I design and build fully custom AI solutions around the way your business already works, not the other way around. Every engagement starts with a 1-week AI Readiness Audit, so we know where AI will actually pay off before anything gets built.
Book a 15-minute intro call No jargon, no pressure. We'll talk about your business and decide together if an audit makes sense.Everyone says "use AI." Nobody says how.
Too many options
Chatbots, agents, copilots, a new tool every week. It's hard to tell what's real, what's hype, and what fits a business your size.
Off-the-shelf doesn't fit
Generic AI tools don't know your customers, your data or your processes, so they end up as one more tab nobody opens.
Worried about getting it wrong
Wasted money, a messy rollout, or customer data ending up somewhere it shouldn't. So it keeps getting pushed to next quarter.
Before building anything, we find where AI fits.
A custom solution is only as good as the understanding behind it. The audit gives us that, and gives you a written plan that's yours to keep, whether or not you work with me afterward.
- 1How your business runs todayA clear map of your tools, data and workflows, and how work actually moves between people and systems.
- 2AI opportunities, with numbersThe specific places AI can save time or money, with an estimate of the impact in hours per week or dollars per month.
- 3A custom solution for each onePlain-language designs tailored to your business. And an honest call when AI isn't the right answer and a simpler fix is.
- 4Data and risk checkWhat data each solution would touch, and how to keep customer and business information secure and private.
- 5Prioritized roadmap with costsWhat to build first, what can wait, what each piece would cost and how long it would take, so you can budget before committing.
From "where do we start?" to AI that works for you.
Intro call
15 minutes, free. You tell me about the business and what you're hoping AI could do. We agree whether an audit is a fit.
The audit
1 week. I review your tools, data and workflows, talk to the people doing the work, and find where AI fits.
Plan + walkthrough
You get the written report and a live walkthrough where we pick what to build first.
Custom build
Optional.
I build and roll out your AI solution, fully customized to your business and refined until it works for your team.

I'm taking on a small number of founding clients at a discounted flat fee. In return, I'm asking for honest feedback and, if it goes well, a testimonial and case study.
- The full audit and all five deliverables, nothing held back
- 100% of the fee is credited toward your custom build if you decide to move forward within 30 days of receiving your report
- If you don't move forward, you still keep the report. No obligation, no follow-up pressure
Limited to three founding clients.

I can actually build what I recommend.
I'm Sharlena. I spent 8+ years as a backend and identity-systems engineer at IBM, HashiCorp, Optum, etc, building the systems that handle logins, permissions and sensitive customer data for large organizations.
That matters when you're bringing AI into your business for two reasons. First, AI is only useful when it's wired into your real systems and data, and that's exactly the kind of work I've done for years, with security and privacy built in from the start.
Second, I don't hand you a slide deck and walk away. If you want the solution built, I build it, customized to you.
I'm based in Orange County, California. Small businesses are the heart of our economy, and I'm here to help them thrive in the age of AI.
