Built by an operator,
for operators.

The Operator Stack is a resource for solopreneurs and builders who use AI tools and automation to run leaner, smarter businesses — without the hype.

The backstory

I spent 20+ years in finance at some of the largest institutions in the world — managing capital, running stress tests, and building frameworks that banks use to make billion-dollar decisions. I'm good at systems.

On the side, I started building. Affiliate sites. Content brands. Automated YouTube channels. Lead gen pipelines. AI agents that run on a Mac mini in my office while I'm at work. Every one of these projects was built with AI tools and automation.

The Operator Stack is where I share what actually works. No theory. No "10 AI tools you need" listicles written by someone who's never used them. Just real blueprints, honest reviews, and monthly transparency reports on the tools I'm running in production.

If you're a solopreneur, side-hustler, or knowledge worker who wants to build systems that run without you — you're in the right place.
