THE ACCOMPLICE'S STORY
Orlando, FL · Est. 2018
HOW AN ACCOMPLICE IS MADE
Here's the thing about being an accomplice: you learn to see what others miss.
I didn't start out as a "Business Strategic Architect." I started answering phones at Domino's, taking orders, managing chaos during dinner rush. Then Assistant Manager—where I learned that systems either support growth or sabotage it. There's no in-between.
But the real education came later.
For nearly eight years, I worked behind the scenes across every industry you can imagine—tech startups, AI companies, finance, health, agriculture, marketing agencies, e-commerce, hospitality. My job titles said "Executive Assistant" or "Project Manager," but the actual work? I was the strategic glue holding everything together.
Here's what I noticed:
Every role, I ended up doing more than the job description. Not because I had to—because I saw the gaps. The workflow that didn't exist. The process no one documented. The integration everyone needed but nobody built.
So I built it.
I've worked across operations, marketing, product, data analytics, tech integration, HR, events—you name it. I coordinated global teams, managed sensitive IP, designed workflows from scratch, launched products and events, built dashboards, automated processes.
I created the systems that let companies scale without breaking.
The pattern became impossible to ignore:
Brilliant ideas don't fail because they're bad. They fail because nobody architected the infrastructure to support them.
THE REVELATION
Most businesses are building without a blueprint.
They have vision. They have drive. But they're one growth spurt
away from chaos because nobody designed the foundation to support
what they're building.
I kept watching smart founders hit the same wall:
"We're growing, but everything feels reactive."
"We have tools but no systems."
"I know what I want to build, but I don't know how to architect it."
And here's what really got me:
I kept meeting people with incredible ideas—people who'd been
sitting on domains for years, carrying projects they "always meant
to do"—who just needed someone willing to architect the infrastructure
their vision needed to exist.
Not sell them a course. Not pitch them a $50K package. Not tell them they're "not ready yet."
Actually partner with them. Build alongside them. Grow with them.
WHAT BREAKS MY HEART
You know what's one of the saddest things to me?
Talking to someone and hearing them say: "I always wished I had
done this, but because of [this situation/this fear/this barrier],
I wasn't able to."
Then they went into a different career. Settled for something safer.
And now they're living with that quiet regret.
When I ask people about their dreams—the things they really
want to do—too many of them don't even believe those dreams are obtainable anymore.
That breaks my heart.
I truly believe the world would be a better place if people could do
the things they love. If more people got to build the businesses
they've been dreaming about instead of letting those dreams die in their "someday" folder.
That's why I do this work. Not just to manage operations or
optimize systems—but to architect the foundation that
lets people stop letting their ideas stay ideas forever.
SO I MADE IT OFFICIAL
The name isn't cute—it's accurate. I'm not the face of your business. I'm the strategic architect who helps you finally do the thing, designs the systems before you need them, and builds the infrastructure so your brilliant idea doesn't collapse under its own success.
AJ The Accomplice.
WHAT DOES A "STRATEGIC BUSINESS ARCHITECT" ACTUALLY DO?
Simple: I take your vision and values and make sure your systems align with them.
Most businesses build infrastructure reactively - adding tools, hiring people, creating processes as problems come up. By the time they realize their systems don't support their vision, they're buried in chaos.
I work differently. I design systems FROM your vision - so everything you build supports where you're trying to go, not just where you are today.
The goal is always the same: Build systems that keep you lean, let you accomplish what you want, and make sure working ON your business doesn't stop you from working IN your business.
That's what strategic business architecture means. And that's what an accomplice does.
WHO I WORK WITH
Today, I work with two types of clients:
Founders at the beginning - You're sitting on an idea you've been meaning to start. You need infrastructure architected and a partner to build it with you.
Established businesses - You're scaling past six figures and realized your infrastructure can't support where you're trying to go. You need complete operational architecture designed and built.
Same partnership philosophy. Different engagement models.
Whether you're bootstrapping your first idea or generating $500K/year, if you have the vision but need the architectural foundation—and you're tired of waiting for "someday"—we should talk.
