How to Hire an E-commerce or AI Consultant: Questions to Ask, Costs and Red Flags
A good consultant can save you months and a lot of budget. A bad one costs both. Here is how to decide if you need one, what to ask, and which red flags to watch for.
I build e-commerce and AI systems that hold up in production.
Independent consultant for commerce platforms, growth and AI. I audit, build and run stores and the systems around them, from checkout to customer support.

What I work on
Three kinds of work clients most often bring me, each with a clear first step. The other services are one link away.
- AI support for online stores
- An assistant that answers order, delivery and product questions from your own data, and hands the cases it should not answer to your team. Retrieval, answer validation, model routing and tool authorization.
- Magento 2 speed and Hyvä migration
- Category and product pages that load fast again, imports that stop breaking the catalogue, and a move from Luma to Hyvä that keeps the store working. Full-page cache and Varnish, PHP-FPM, indexers; measured before and after.
- Store, CRM and workflow automation
- Orders, leads and customer data moving between your store, CRM and email tools without copying by hand, and without sending twice when a run fails. n8n, Marketo, Mailchimp or a custom journey builder.
- Also
- WooCommerce and Shopify stores, technical SEO and measurement, conversion work, servers and backup.
