I build systems that work. End-to-end. In production.
Founder-led product and platform delivery for commercially-minded leaders. No handoffs. No pilots that disappear. Just real systems, shipping fast.
You know something needs to change
You're running a business. You can see where things are slower, more manual, or more fragile than they should be. You've probably been pitched AI, automation, or "digital transformation" more times than you can count.
And yet - nothing's really changed.
Maybe you've tried before. A pilot that went nowhere. A consultancy that left you with a deck. A tool that promised everything and delivered complexity.
Or maybe you haven't started yet, because you don't have a clear brief. You're not sure what to ask for. And frankly, you're tired of hype.
That's fine. You don't need a brief.
Most leaders I work with arrive the same way: with a sense that something could be better, but without a neat specification. That's not a problem - it's the starting point.
Let's figure it out together →Why most projects fail
It's rarely a technology problem. It's an ownership problem.
Most AI and innovation projects fail because they start with tools instead of problems. They get stuck in strategy phases. They produce prototypes that never reach production. And when they do ship, there's no one left who's accountable for whether it actually works.
This isn't your fault. It's how the industry is structured: consultancies advise, agencies build to spec, and everyone disappears before the hard part - making it work in the real world, with real users, under real pressure.
I work differently.
Founder-led. Delivery-first. Accountable to outcomes.
I'm Clinton. I run inhouse.cx. And when you hire me, you get me - not a team, not a process, not a project manager who "keeps you updated."
I build and ship personally.
I work in real systems, with real users, in production environments. Not sandboxes. Not decks. Not proofs-of-concept that never see daylight.
I move fast because I iterate in code.
AI has collapsed the feedback loop between thinking and building. I use that to refine direction in days, not months - adjusting as clarity emerges, not waiting for perfect requirements.
I own the outcome.
When specialist skills are needed - infrastructure, design, domain expertise - I bring them in. But accountability stays with me. There's no handoff. No "that's not my department."
I focus on commercial results.
Margin. Capacity. Speed. Risk reduction. Competitive advantage. That's how I measure success - not features delivered or hours logged.
What I don't do
I'm not a rescue service for legacy systems that no one wants to own. I'm not here to fix blame or untangle years of technical debt. I work with leaders who are ready to move forward - not litigate the past.
How I think about the work
Ownership, not oversight
I take responsibility for delivery. Not coordination. Not advice. The work ships because I make it ship.
Outcomes, not outputs
I measure success by commercial impact - margin improved, capacity unlocked, speed gained. Not by features completed or documents produced.
Right-sized solutions
Not every problem needs AI. Sometimes the answer is automation, better analytics, or a redesigned process. I start with the problem, not the tool.
Humans in the loop
AI augments judgement; it doesn't replace it. The systems I build keep people in control where it matters.
Build once, reuse forever
I avoid one-off solutions. What I build should compound in value - not create new dependencies or maintenance burdens.
Speed through clarity
Ambiguity isn't a blocker. It's the starting condition. I move fast by working in real systems and iterating quickly - not by waiting for perfect requirements.
Three ways this typically unfolds
These aren't case studies. I don't share client names or invent metrics. But they'll give you a sense of how the work actually happens.
Starting with a hunch
A COO knew their operations team was spending too much time on manual work, but couldn't articulate exactly where the leverage was. We started with a conversation. Within two weeks, I'd mapped the real bottlenecks - not the ones they assumed - and built a working system that automated the highest-value process. It's still running. They've since expanded it themselves.
Replacing a failed pilot
A CEO had been burned by an AI pilot that produced impressive demos but never reached production. The vendor had moved on. I picked up where they left off - not by restarting, but by stripping the project back to what actually mattered, rebuilding it in their live environment, and getting it into users' hands within a month. It now runs daily.
Moving faster than competitors
A GM sensed a market window closing. They needed to launch a new capability before a larger competitor got there first. There was no brief, no spec, no internal team to hand it to. I built the first version in three weeks, iterated based on real customer feedback, and helped them go to market ahead of schedule. The capability is now a differentiator.
Start with a conversation
You don't need a brief. You don't need a budget approved. You don't need to know exactly what you're asking for.
A conversation is how clarity begins. We'll talk about what you're trying to achieve, where the friction is, and whether I'm the right person to help. Sometimes I am. Sometimes I'm not. Either way, you'll leave with sharper thinking.
No pitch. No pressure. No obligation.
If any of this resonates, let's talk.
I'll reply personally within 1 business day.
