Flexible, scoped work — depending on what needs solving.
Some problems need a senior systems thinker, but not a big consulting machine. I work in small, clear scopes: a few hours, a focused package, or an intensive engagement with a documented result. You commission what you need.
Firefighting & Root-Cause Analysis
When your systems are down and your team is stuck. Pattern-recognition from decades of mission-critical systems — I isolate, resolve, and hand over.
- Rapid triage and incident containment
- Cross-domain root-cause analysis
- Post-incident debrief and hardening
AI Visibility & GEO
ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews are becoming how people find services. Most business websites are invisible to them — blocked by bot protection, missing structured data, or simply unreadable by AI. You lose deals you never knew existed.
- AI crawler audit: who can see you, who can't
- Structured data, schema and content optimisation
- Monitoring: track your AI visibility over time
Systems Architecture
Current-state mapping, target architecture and migration roadmap. From tool sprawl to a system that fits.
- As-is mapping and dependency chart
- Target architecture and technology selection
- Migration path with risk assessment
Local AI — Kim
Document analysis, knowledge extraction and decision support — local, without cloud dependency.
- Runs on your infrastructure
- Pilot workflow in weeks, not months
- No software sales — implementation and customisation
Security & Audit Resilience
Risk analysis, protection measures, backup validation and recovery planning. Not hope — a plan that holds under scrutiny.
- Vulnerability analysis and risk assessment
- Backup tests and recovery drills
- Prioritised action plan
AI Process & Automation
Most AI projects fail because they try to replace processes instead of strengthening them. Useful AI is embedded in deterministic workflows — it handles the fuzzy parts (classification, extraction, summarisation), while structured code handles validation, routing and storage.
- Process analysis: where does AI add real value?
- Pilot design: AI components in existing workflows
- Guardrails built in — not hallucination, but reliable output
Critical Intervention
When a complex technical situation is stuck and the team is out of options. Cross-domain diagnosis, structured intervention and a documented handover — 2 to 10 days, remote.
- Rapid assessment: what is the actual problem, what is noise
- Works across domains: architecture, AI, security, compliance
- Documented handover — no dependency created
Small Technical & Creative Tasks
Not every useful engagement is a crisis. I also take small, self-contained work where technical depth, visual judgement or automation experience makes the difference.
- AI-generated visuals, posters and communication assets
- WordPress, Plesk and infrastructure fixes
- Research, document analysis and workflow automation
Typical starting points
These are examples, not rigid products. If the useful next step is smaller, we make it smaller.
| Package | Result | Timeframe |
|---|---|---|
| Incident Response | Triage, root-cause analysis, resolution, debrief | 1 – 5 days |
| AI Visibility Audit | Crawler access report, structured data gaps, action plan | 2 – 4 days |
| Architecture Review | As-is analysis, target architecture, migration path | 5 – 10 days |
| Kim Feasibility | Feasibility analysis, pilot design, resource planning | 3 – 8 days |
| Security Check | Risk assessment, quick wins, 30/60/90-day plan | 3 – 7 days |
| AI Process Fit | Process map, AI candidate identification, pilot spec | 3 – 7 days |
| Small Problem Sprint | Focused diagnosis, fix, research output or creative/technical deliverable | 2 – 10 hours |
