Tech Strategist
I help nonprofits and small businesses decide what to build, then build it. Product strategy, AI adoption, and websites that ship, from someone who does all three.
“Most teams don’t have a technology problem. They have a clarity problem.”
Pick one, or start with strategy and let the rest follow.
We get clear on the outcome, then sequence the work so each phase pays for the next. If you need the product function run day to day, I take it on part-time: intake, scope, specs, and vendor wrangling.
Roadmap, priorities, or a monthly retainer
Pages designed around what you need a visitor to do, then built in a thoughtful, mobile-friendly site that you can update yourself. Clear hierarchy, accessible by default, training at handoff.
Designs, launched site, docs, training
Where AI genuinely earns its place in your operations, and where it does not. I evaluate tools, prototype with them, and put appropriate guardrails in place.
Use-case assessment, pilot, policy
A focused session to unblock a decision: platform choice, rebuild or refresh, what to do about the backlog.
Half or full day, written recap
1 / 4
Short cycles, visible progress, no black boxes. You always know what is happening and why.
1
A short intake to understand the goal, the constraints, and what has already been tried.
2
A written plan with phases, costs, and the decisions each phase settles. You approve before anything starts.
3
Weekly check-ins and working artifacts, not status decks. You see progress as it happens.
4
Documentation and training so your team owns the result. I stay available, not necessary.
I’m Ben Harris-Kornblith, a tech strategist who sits in the gap most organizations fall into: the space between knowing something needs to change and knowing what to build.
My background is product management and web design, which means I can run the discovery, write the roadmap, design the pages, and stay accountable for whether the thing actually works once it’s live. Small teams get one partner instead of three vendors pointing at each other.
AI is now part of that work. I manage products built on large language models, ship with AI in my own development workflow, and advise teams on which tools are worth adopting, what they cost in practice, and where a human still has to sign off. The useful question is rarely whether to use AI; it’s which task, and what happens when it gets the answer wrong.
Mission-driven and owner-operated organizations are where I do my best work. The stakes are real, the budgets are finite, and good sequencing is worth more than any tool.

Every quote is fixed and scoped in writing before work starts. No hourly surprises.
Monthly
A standing block of strategy time: roadmap reviews, vendor decisions, and a second opinion when you need one.
Best for teams already building
Fixed scope, fixed fee
A defined piece of work with a start and an end — a strategy sprint, a redesign, or a full site build.
Best for a known outcome
Half or full day
One session, one decision. Facilitated with your stakeholders in the room and a written recap after.
Best for breaking a deadlock

Send the rough version. I’ll get back to you within the week with a read on scope, sequencing, and whether I’m the right fit.
