Fractional Chief AI Officer
Most companies know they need AI. Very few know what to build first, what to ignore, and how to avoid wasting six figures finding out. That's what I do.

Founder, OMEGABYTE.AI — Fractional CAIO
I founded OMEGABYTE in 1992 at 20 years old. Over the next three decades I built technology businesses, ran teams, closed over $200M in sales revenue, and watched every major technology shift reshape what companies had to do to survive.
AI is the biggest one. And most businesses are approaching it completely wrong — chasing tools instead of building strategy, delegating it to IT instead of the C-suite, or doing nothing and hoping their competitors aren't moving faster.
I work with a small number of companies at a time. I get embedded as their AI executive, help them figure out what to build, and stay in it long enough to see it actually happen.
Most fractional advisors stop at strategy. We stay for the build.
When your roadmap identifies a custom AI agent, an automation layer, or an intelligent data pipeline — you don't get handed off to a different firm. OMEGABYTE.AI's engineering team builds it. Same relationship, same context, no translation layer.
That's a capability no other fractional CAIO brings to the table.
