# Gilead Builds

> Gilead Builds is the practice of Gilead Ogbonna, Principal Systems Architect, based in Nigeria and working with business owners in the UK, US, EU and Nigeria since 2016. He is the operator behind owners who have outgrown doing everything themselves: he runs the systems, the people and the AI behind a business so it keeps moving without the owner in the middle.

Gilead has taught and built with technology since 2007: computer teacher in Plateau State schools, A+ instructor and acting training manager at SystemLink (Jos), SPSS trainer for PhD students at the University of Jos, NYSC orientation camp trainer, founder of the digital agency Geeroute Systems (2016) and the remote staffing company iAssist Africa (2021), and author of The Online Course Creator's Bible (2022). 50+ client projects. He is building Damian (usedamian.com), where professionals practise real work and prove they can do the job.

## Main offer
- [The Operator retainer](https://gileadbuilds.com/operator/): a monthly retainer where Gilead owns how a business runs.

Weekly written report, monthly review, same-day replies. Fixed monthly fee from $3,000, agreed after the audit; cancel with 30 days' notice.
- [Systems Audit](https://gileadbuilds.com/systems-audit/): the way in. Systems Diagnostic $49 or Systems Blueprint $149; a written plan of what to fix or hand over first and where AI can safely take over.
- [Build Sprints](https://gileadbuilds.com/systems/): fixed-scope builds of systems, websites, course platforms and AI agents, fully documented and owned by the client.
