David Kerns

The operator who can also build.

Most agencies build but don't run businesses. Most consultants run businesses but can't build. I do both. Here's the path that got me here.

The Arc

Deloitte

Financial Services Audit · 2017 — 2020

Top-rated in 400-person group

Three years auditing financial services firms. Highest performance rating in the regional group. Learned how to read a business from the inside out — P&L structure, control design, operational risk. Left knowing what breaks when companies scale.

How I Work

You own everything.

Code, content, data, domain. No vendor lock-in. No monthly platform fees (unless you opt into OhDavid Hosting).

30% to start, 70% on delivery.

Same structure across every Build engagement.

No agency overhead.

It's me. Maybe a designer if the project needs one. The team that ships is the team you talk to.

AI-enabled by default.

Work that takes a 5-person agency 30 hours takes my small studio + agent team about 5.

No scope creep.

Each engagement is scoped specifically before we start. If you want more, we scope more.

Honest sequencing.

If your problem isn't a build, I'll tell you that before you sign. Sometimes the right answer is a different tool entirely.

Ready to talk?

Not a pitch — a conversation about whether there's a fit.
