02 / HOW I WORK

A governed loop from signal to iteration.

Sources, decisions, review, and ownership stay attached to the work. AI speeds up research and variation. A person still owns the final call.

01

Source signals

Company documents, approved claims, audience behavior, and product constraints.

02

Decision brief

The problem, owner, audience, proof, review path, and success condition.

03

Build + review

The product, campaign, or workflow ships with review inside the process.

04

Learn + update

Adoption, response, and operating friction decide what changes next.

03 / PRODUCT SYSTEMS

Five products. Each one works.

The walkthroughs show the actual flow. The links open the live builds and public code where it is available.

01 / Compliance aware content product

CompliPost

A weekly content system for mortgage loan officers who need to show up online without spending every Friday writing, designing, and rebuilding the same compliance handoff.

THE ISSUE

Loan officers need a steady stream of useful content. Their tools split the job into separate pieces.

A blank AI chat can write a caption, but it does not know the loan officer's brand, required disclosures, or the phrases that should trigger review. Graphics happen somewhere else. Compliance notes live in another document. The result is more copy and paste work and an easy reason to skip posting.

Primary user

Solo mortgage loan officers and small teams that handle their own marketing.

Review partner

Managers and compliance reviewers who need the final claim, visual, and source together.

Job to do

Turn a weekly idea into branded content that is easier to review, save, and reuse.

WHY + HOW

I had already seen the enterprise version of this problem.

At First Horizon Bank, I ran a program with 350+ advisors and a library of 500+ approved posts. The biggest improvement came from changing the workflow. We used standard inputs, known claims, repeatable review, and a clear handoff. I built CompliPost to make that structure usable by one loan officer without an enterprise platform.

I put planning, generation, checks, and export in one product.

A user starts with a weekly plan or a content idea. CompliPost creates platform ready copy and a branded visual, checks the draft against a federal baseline and workspace rules, then keeps the findings with the post. The user can revise, save, export, or create a review packet. The product does not auto publish or promise legal approval.

PRODUCT DECISIONS

Planning first. Review stays attached.

01

Start with the week

The planner gives the user a useful starting point before asking them to write a prompt.

02

Reuse the brand kit

Name, colors, logo, headshot, NMLS details, and voice can carry across every export.

03

Check the copy twice

The prompt avoids known high risk phrases. A rules pass then shows matched text, severity, citations, and suggested fixes.

04

Keep a human review path

Final visuals, captions, findings, and disclosures can travel together in a reviewer ready packet.

My role

Solo founder. Product direction, user research, positioning, workflow design, frontend and backend build, and launch.

Portfolio proof

A working vertical SaaS product that turns enterprise publishing lessons into a self service workflow for one loan officer.

Workflow
  1. 01Choose the weekly plan
  2. 02Generate the post
  3. 03Check the claims
  4. 04Export and publish

CompliPost is a review aid. It does not claim legal approval or publish on the user's behalf.

02 / Guided learning product

Paper Trail

A path based learning product that teaches nontechnical people how to use AI at work, practice the judgment, and save work they can reuse.

THE ISSUE

Most AI courses hand beginners a library. They still do not know what to learn first or when they are ready to move on.

Prompt tips cover the easiest part. A beginner also has to learn where context goes, what stays private, when to check a claim, how to recover from a bad answer, and how to use the same habits in their role. A flat course list puts all of those decisions back on the learner.

Primary user

Founders, operators, and nontechnical teams learning AI for real work.

Starting point

Beginners enter through shared foundations. Experienced users can use placement and test out paths.

Learning outcome

A visible route, one next lesson, role specific practice, and work saved locally.

Open Paper Trail

WHY + HOW

I wanted the product to teach judgment before automation.

The first version was a gamified AI course. Testing showed that the learner had too many tabs to choose from and could see advanced work before basic habits. I cut the interface back to Trail and Library, made the foundations cumulative, and kept future lessons visible without making them selectable.

I designed the curriculum and the product as one system.

The current graph has 226 production lessons, 32 shared modules, 12 role routes, and 6 specialties. Each lesson combines ordered teaching and practice with source and review metadata. Route rules keep prerequisites in sequence. Local progress and Workbench artifacts let someone learn without creating an account.

PRODUCT DECISIONS

One path. Practice stays inside the lesson.

01

Show one next action

Trail opens on the current lesson while the full route stays visible as a map of what comes next.

02

Teach foundations first

Context, files, memory, boundaries, skills, and connections come before specialty work.

03

Put practice in the lesson

Matching, ordering, fill-in, multi-select, and applied projects check whether the idea can be used.

04

Keep learner data local

Progress, bookmarks, and Workbench artifacts stay on the device with export and delete controls.

THREE SUPPORTING SYSTEMS

Three smaller systems built around the source.

GTM OS keeps sources attached to answers. SignalScope does the same for briefs. Flowcraft does it for content drafts.

04 / Market intelligence pipeline

SignalScope

A live monitor that collects public market signals, filters the noise, and writes a cited brief that can be checked before it becomes a recommendation.

04 / FIRST HORIZON BANK

Enterprise publishing system

I inherited slow reviews, uneven adoption, and disconnected content. I rebuilt the operation from business intake through publishing, field enablement, and reporting.

350+active advisors across Mortgage, Wealth, and Commercial
500+compliance approved posts in the library
60+ → ~2days for Legal and Compliance review
adoption during my tenure

THE SYSTEM I BUILT

Business input through reporting.

01

Business input

Mortgage, Wealth, Commercial, Recruiting, Brand, and Community priorities.

02

Content design

Campaign themes, message frameworks, media formats, and reusable series.

03

Review system

Standard submissions, preapproval, auto review, manual review, and an audit trail.

04

Library + automation

500+ approved posts, publishing rules, campaign subscriptions, and content retirement.

05

Field enablement

Onboarding, live training, playbooks, FAQs, and one on one coaching.

06

Reporting

Views, clicks, engagement, earned media value, adoption, and monthly business updates.

AUDIENCE + CHANNEL LOGIC

One mortgage topic became several usable posts.

I changed the framing, approved detail, and call to action for each audience while keeping every version ready for field advisors.

First Horizon Bank broad homebuyer education post

First Horizon Bank physician mortgage post

PHYSICIAN MORTGAGE EXAMPLE

Specific audience. Approved claim set.

I narrowed the promise, used a direct headline, listed the approved benefits, and gave advisors a clear next step. The field could use the copy without rewriting the product claim.

Stakeholders
Mortgage Marketing, Product, Legal and Compliance, and field advisors.
Channels
LinkedIn and Facebook with one approved claim set and destination URL.
My role
Content strategy, message structure, review coordination, and distribution.
