Senior data science and AI help, without a full-time hire. One person builds it end to end: automation that clears the busywork, AI assistants that answer customers, dashboards you'll actually open, and forecasts and pricing you can act on.
Founded by an engineer who builds AI for a living, with prior work for lenders, a major bank, and a global hospitality brand.
A full-time data scientist or AI engineer is a big hire, and most small businesses don't have 40 hours a week of data and AI work. Here's an honest look at the usual options.
Makes sense when there's enough data and AI work to keep someone busy every week, for years.
Makes sense for a large build that needs design, development, and marketing under one roof.
Makes sense when the task is simple and someone on your team enjoys this kind of work.
Makes sense when you need senior data and AI skills for a few projects a year or a few hours a month, not 40 hours a week.
Sometimes the right answer is a full-time hire or a specialized tool. If that's what the audit shows, I'll tell you.
Start with whichever is worth the most to you. I start with features you already pay for, then connect the tools you use, and build custom only where a real gap remains.
Repetitive office work drafted, checked, and filed in the background, with exceptions flagged for a person.
Assistants and agents that answer from information you've approved and hand off to a person at the right moment.
One weekly view of the numbers that matter, updating from QuickBooks, your POS, CRM, and spreadsheets.
Simple models built from your own history, shown as ranges, with the assumptions in plain sight.
More business from the customers and leads you already have, one measurable change at a time.
Not sure which one comes first? That's what the audit is for.
No long contract and no open-ended retainer to start. Each step is agreed in writing, and every new system begins with a person reviewing its output.
A 20-minute call and one real example, like a redacted invoice, report, or sales export. Nothing in your business gets touched.
The best first step, the assumptions behind its value, and a fixed price and scope. If nothing is worth doing, I'll say so.
One workflow, built and handed over with documentation, typically in two to four weeks. Half to start, half at go-live.
Monitoring and fixes for what's running, and if you want it, a set number of hours each month for the next project.
Every project has a written scope, a fixed price, and acceptance criteria agreed before work starts. Ongoing help is month to month.
Zuhair Allahrakha, founder
I've spent more than seven years working with Florida businesses across call centers, sales, hospitality, banking and lending, healthcare, restaurants, contracting, and insurance. Most of that time I've been building AI, machine learning, and data systems: lending decision engines, credit and pricing models, automated agents, and the data pipelines behind them.
A fractional arrangement gives your business that experience without a full-time hire. I'm based in South Florida, work with businesses across the state over video calls, and I'm personally accountable for every project.
These are outcomes at previous employers, in different industries, not results for small-business clients. They show the kind of work I do: finding where money leaks and building models people actually use.
You get a senior data scientist and AI engineer for part of the time, instead of hiring one full time. In practice that means fixed-price projects, one workflow at a time, and, if you want it, a set number of hours each month for ongoing work. You don't pay for a full-time seat you'd struggle to keep busy.
That's set on the call, based on the work. Many businesses start with one fixed-price project and no ongoing hours at all. If you want ongoing help, we set a number of hours each month in writing, month to month, so you can scale up, scale down, or stop. I take on a small number of businesses at a time so each one gets real attention.
Usually the ones you already have: QuickBooks, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, your POS and CRM, and spreadsheets. Dashboards are built in a tool you have or a free one such as Google Sheets or Looker Studio, or Power BI if you use it. Before anything is connected, I tell you which AI services will see your information. If something new would genuinely help, I'll explain why and what it costs first.
Your data and accounts are yours, and software subscriptions are set up in your business's name. The workflows, reports, and models I build for you stay with your business, with documentation, if you stop working with me.
Then I'll tell you on the call or in the recommendation, at no cost. Sometimes the better answer is a feature you already pay for, a specialized tool, or a full-time hire. If we do work together, ongoing support is month to month, so you can stop anytime.
I'm based in South Florida and focus on Florida businesses. Most of the work happens over video calls and shared screens, so where you are in the state doesn't matter. If you're outside Florida, reach out anyway and I'll tell you honestly whether it makes sense.
