Local Roots
Part of the community
This isn't a remote consultancy that happens to list a Vermont address. I live and work here. I serve on the Middlesex Budget Committee and built middlesexbudget.org — a municipal budget transparency tool — as a civic contribution to the town.
Vermont organizations tend to be profitable, revenue-conscious, and lean—not chasing growth at any cost with venture capital runway to burn. That means technology investments need to pay for themselves, and a healthy skepticism toward tools that sound good in a pitch but don't hold up in practice is well-earned.
I build to those constraints. Right-sized solutions, honest scoping, and technology choices driven by what your organization can actually maintain.
The name “Hunger Mountain” comes from the peak in the Worcester Range, visible from Middlesex. More about my background →
Common Questions
Frequently asked
What does a fractional CTO do?
A fractional CTO is a part-time technical leader — typically 10–20 hours per week. I make architecture decisions, guide your engineering team, and keep production systems running. You get the experience of a full-time CTO without the full-time cost.
How much does AI consulting cost for a small business?
Projects typically range from $200–$350 per hour, or $10,000–$25,000 per month for ongoing retainers. Strategy projects start at 2–4 weeks. Everything is scoped and priced upfront.
What is fractional AI engineering?
It means hiring an experienced AI engineer part-time or for a specific project instead of full-time. Projects range from 2–12 weeks to ongoing retainers.
Is there AI consulting available in Vermont?
Yes. Hunger Mountain Intelligence is based in Middlesex, Vermont. I work with local government, healthcare, education, outdoor recreation, nonprofits, and small businesses across the state.
