Kei Gowda / AI OPERATIONS & SYSTEMS

I BUILD THE SYSTEMS THAT LET ORGANIZATIONS SCALE.

I diagnose where operations stall, then design and build the systems that move them forward. You get strategy and technical implementation from an AI-fluent operations executive with 20+ years of experience.

I WORK WITH STARTUPS, GLOBAL BRANDS, FORTUNE 500, AGENCIES, RESEARCH LABS, NON-PROFITS, AND MORE.

What I do

Operations Strategy

I work with executives and teams to locate where momentum stalls, identify where AI and automation can help, and determine what needs to be built. No generic strategy decks. I give you clear options for specific operational improvements.

Operations Technology

I design and build AI agents, workflows, and tools that automate repeat work and improve operations. I bring enough technical depth to evaluate feasibility, build working prototypes, and guide systems through implementation without losing sight of the business outcome.

Fractional executive

I take an executive seat and do the work: build the plans to improve your operations, then manage execution over time. I lead teams, mentor leaders, and set your AI strategy, either independently or alongside your existing C-suite.

Who I work best with

01

You know your operation needs more structure...and you've put off deciding where to start.

02

You bought or built an AI system that works in a demo...but fails in how your team actually works.

03

Your work and margins are suffering...because of processes that could be automated.

04

Your team is capable...but delivery still slips due to communication and technical friction.

05

You've worked with an ops consultant before and got a pretty deck...but nothing was built.

Recent builds

I don't ever share details of our work without your approval, and never publicly. Approved client references available privately if our intro call goes well.

+ GLOBAL AUTO PARTS MANUFACTURER Quoting drops from hours of engineering time to minutes.

Sales engineers were opening customer part files one at a time, working out by hand whether a shape could actually be molded. Hours went into a single quote, and two engineers could reach different answers on the same part. The tool now reads the 3D model itself, checks wall thickness, draft angles, and undercut risk, and returns a manufacturability report with a preliminary quote in minutes.

+ U.S. executive search firm Whole job market scanned daily, verified shortlist every morning.

Recruiters were reading the open job market by hand, thousands of postings a week, hunting the few searches worth pitching for. Most of what they waded through was reposts, dead listings, and aggregator noise. The engine now scans that market daily, reads each posting against a written brief rather than matching keywords, and returns a shortlist with every source vetted and every link checked that morning.

+ LOS ANGELES PR/MEDIA AGENCY More clients per account lead, judgment left untouched.

Coverage landed, then sat behind six assembly steps, thirty-five minutes of an account lead's time per clip, before the client heard about it. Those six now run automatically. What stayed human is the part that was always the point: whether a clip is worth sending, which coverage matters, the tone of the note, and a last look at the graphic. Assembly is five or ten minutes.
