Introducing myself

Hey everyone — Wanted to introduce myself here.

I’m David, based in Vancouver, Canada. Great to be here.

My background is in business and consulting. I started my career with Sony in Japan, later completed an MBA, and spent about six years with Deloitte in Vancouver before moving into smaller consulting and entrepreneurial projects. For a while I was focused heavily in online business.

I decided to start a job search a couple of weeks ago, and thought to myself, there has to be a better way - I opted to search for a way to do it with AI, and got into my very first n8n automation. I was immediately blown away by the power of AI models coupled with automation tools like n8n, and knew this was a powerful capability.

Since then I lost interest in finding a job, and am now looking at starting up my own practice. I've got a heavy consulting background, having worked at Deloitte, and then some smaller consulting companies. But now I feel like I've got something to focus it around.

Right now, I’m exploring the AI automation agency model and doing customer discovery to understand where the highest-value opportunities actually are. My initial focus is professional services businesses — starting with accounting firms, where I have some existing experience and relationships — but I’m deliberately keeping the aperture fairly broad while I learn.

I’m especially interested in the intersection between AI automation, business process improvement, and solving real operational problems. My consulting background naturally has me thinking less about “selling AI” and more about diagnosing the business problem first and then figuring out where AI or automation can genuinely create value.

I’m currently building, experimenting, talking to business owners, and figuring out what a strong offer and go-to-market approach looks like.

Looking forward to learning from everyone here, seeing what others are building, and connecting with people who are at a similar stage or further down the road.
