A closer look at recent consulting work, from doubling ad revenue for audio platforms to building AI prototypes from scratch, and the outcomes that followed.

Revenue Underperforming

Ad revenue below listener scale potential

Monetization Ad Products

Soundstack / Live365

Audio-as-a-service platform powering dozens of radio streaming sites

Challenge

Soundstack needed full product management and ad operations leadership to monetize their audio-as-a-service platform across Live365 and their embedded player network. Ad revenue was underperforming relative to the scale of their listener base.

Approach

Took ownership of all product management and ad operations for monetization. Built and implemented pre-roll, display, and video ad products across the platform. Defined the ad product strategy, managed vendor relationships, and optimized yield across properties.

When I Go

BlueButterfly’s AI-powered end-of-life planning platform

Challenge

A new company set out to reinvent end-of-life planning with AI. Before building the product, the founder needed proof the vision could work: a voice-and-avatar experience that guides people through some of the most personal decisions they will ever make, and feels human, warm, and trustworthy while doing it.

The When I Go AI avatar prototype

Approach

Designed and built two working prototypes from scratch with AI-assisted development tools. Version 1: April, a conversational video avatar (HeyGen) that leads users through an emotionally sensitive planning form and steers the conversation toward completing it. Version 2: a split-screen voice interface on the ChatGPT Voice API that fills in the form in real time as the conversation happens. Stack: Bolt.new for the frontend, Supabase for the backend, HeyGen for the avatar, ChatGPT for the AI.

The live When I Go planning dashboard

Outcome

Delivered a production-quality demo in 2 weeks, and the concept held. The founder used the prototype as the benchmark for the production build, and When I Go launched with April, the avatar companion, at the center of the experience. With the right tools, one senior PM took a voice-and-avatar concept from idea to a working demo in weeks.

TextNow's consent management modal

Approach

Led the vendor evaluation and selection process, assessing consent management platforms against TextNow’s technical requirements, regulatory needs, and advertising ecosystem. Selected Transcend and managed the integration across web and mobile.
