Most AI consultants are either strategists who can’t code or coders who can’t lead. Scott Howard Swain does both – he sits with your team, codes alongside them, and builds working automations that actually reduce manual work while keeping everything transparent and ethical.
The story
Here’s what we’ve noticed after 30 years in tech: most AI consultants are either strategists who can’t code, or coders who can’t lead.
Scott Howard Swain is both.
When a business leader brings in a typical AI consultant, they get a slideshow and a roadmap. When they bring in Scott, they get a player-coach who sits with the team, writes code alongside them, and multiplies their capabilities through hands-on mentorship.
The difference shows up fast. Teams don’t just get AI workflows on paper – they get working automations that actually reduce manual work and free people up for creative problem-solving.
What makes this approach work is the combination: three decades of technical expertise, plus deep knowledge in AI agents, prompt engineering, and NLP. Scott knows how to spot where automation will have real impact because he’s been in the trenches solving these problems for years.
But here’s the part that matters most to leadership: he doesn’t just deliver technical solutions. Every workflow he builds is designed around human needs – transparent, explainable, and ethical. No black boxes. No trust issues.
If you’re a CTO or CEO trying to integrate AI without disrupting your team’s momentum or compromising on values, you need someone who can both architect the strategy and roll up their sleeves to make it happen.
