For Agencies · Subcontract
The bench you call when the work lands and the calendar doesn't.
I take implementation work off agency plates. CRM builds, dashboards, automation, and the AI systems clients keep asking for that you have nobody spare to staff. Under your brand, on your timeline, without me anywhere near the client relationship.
Ellyn Shirk
One person, senior, self-managing. I have run my own builds end to end, which means I do not need a project manager assigned to me.
How It Works
Your brand, your client, my hours.
The reason agencies hesitate to subcontract is risk. So here is exactly how I remove it, stated plainly rather than buried in a contract.
Scoped before it starts
We agree what is being built and what done means before I touch anything. No discovery that quietly turns into a month.
Fixed scopeWhite label throughout
Work ships under your name. I stay off client calls unless you want me on them, and I do not market anything I build for you as mine.
Your relationshipNo managing required
You get progress without chasing it. I flag problems early rather than at the deadline, which is the only reason subcontracting ever actually saves you time.
Self-directedWhat I Have Shipped
Built alone, start to finish.
Every one of these I scoped, built, and shipped myself. That is the relevant fact when you are deciding whether to hand something over.
The implementation work that eats your delivery team
A CRM shaped around how a client actually sells rather than how a vendor assumed they do. Live dashboards that answer the question the client keeps emailing about. Document systems that produce on-brand work in seconds. Pipelines that move data between tools without anyone remembering to do it.
This is the work that is easy to sell and expensive to staff. It rarely justifies a hire, it always arrives at the wrong moment, and it is precisely the kind of thing that quietly ruins a delivery month.
I would rather show you than describe it. Ask and I will walk you through one working end to end.
Add before sending
Two or three screenshots seeded with invented companies and people. Build the demo dataset once and reuse it across all three pages.
What this proves
- I can take a build brief and return finished work
- I cover data, interface, and the automation between them
- I have done this without a team to fall back on
- I show working software rather than a specification
The AI work clients are asking for and nobody can staff
I run my own company on an operating layer I built: an AI chief of staff that briefs me every morning off live data, an advisory panel for real decisions, and content pipelines that turn one input into finished on-brand assets.
It runs without me babysitting it, which is the part that matters. The gap in this market is not people who can produce a demo. It is people who can build something that still works in six months when the model changed underneath it.
If a client is asking you for AI and the honest internal answer is that nobody there has built one that survived contact with production, this is the call.
Add before sending
One screenshot of the morning briefing, reseeded with invented data first.
What this proves
- I build AI systems rather than prompts
- I wire them to live data and keep them running
- I can carry a capability your team does not have yet
- I know what breaks after launch, because mine has not
Nine products, one person, and the reason that is possible
I am building a suite of nine products on my own. The first is live. The ninth will cost a fraction of what the first one did, because that was designed in from the start.
One roadmap every decision gets written back into. A shared design system so each product ships looking like a sibling. Patterns reused instead of reinvented, so the boring eighty percent is answered before work begins.
For you the relevant part is not the products. It is that I sequence my own work, hold my own standards, and finish things when nobody is checking.
What this proves
- I finish, repeatedly, without supervision
- I work to a standard rather than to a deadline alone
- I standardize so repeat work gets cheaper
- I will not become another thing you have to manage
What I Take On
Hand me the build.
Strategy and the client relationship stay yours. I am useful on the part that turns a signed scope into a working thing.
CRM implementation
Setup, migration, pipelines, and the reporting layer, built around how the client actually sells rather than a default template.
Dashboards and reporting
Live business-health views that answer the recurring question, so the client stops emailing you for a number.
AI and automation
Drafting, summarizing, follow-ups, and briefings, wired to real data and built to keep running after handoff.
Systems and documentation
Process documented well enough that the client's team can run it, which is what stops the work boomeranging back to you.
Next Step
Tell me what you had to turn down.
You do not need another hire. You need someone senior you can hand a scope to and not think about again until it is done.
Send me the last project you passed on for capacity reasons, or the one currently sitting in your queue. I will tell you whether I can take it and what it would cost. If it is not a fit, I will say so quickly.
