I build the internal tools, dashboards, and AI workflows your business actually needs — the stuff a developer would have quoted you six months and a quarter-million for two years ago. AI changed the math. I'm an engineer who's lived inside it for the last three years, and I pass the cost collapse straight to you.
Things small businesses couldn't afford to build custom — and so muddled through with spreadsheets, SaaS that didn't fit, or a part-time hire — are suddenly weeks of work, not quarters.
† Comparing typical agency engagements pre-2023 to what one engineer can ship today with modern AI tooling. Your project gets an exact fixed quote after a 30-min call.
Web form → AI scores urgency → routes to the right person → books the call. Replaces 'we'll get back to you in 24 hours' with same-hour bookings.
Pulls from QuickBooks, Stripe, your CRM, your spreadsheets — and answers the questions you actually ask: are we busy, are we profitable, who's late.
Trained on your pricing, your services, your FAQs. Lives on your site or in SMS. Hands real conversations to a human cleanly. No hallucinations on prices.
Invoices, POs, contracts, intake forms — emailed in, parsed by Claude, pushed to QuickBooks/Notion/wherever. Stop paying someone to type things twice.
The 30-minute thing one of your people does every morning? An agent can do it in 90 seconds and tag you for review. I build the loop, the guardrails, and the human-in-the-loop checks.
Internal search across your docs, contracts, SOPs, Slack history — with real citations. Your team stops asking the same questions; new hires get up to speed in days.
You're paying for software that almost fits and gluing it together with Zapier. Often it's cheaper to build the right tool once and own it forever.
Not Salesforce. Not HubSpot. The 20% of CRM features you actually use, plus AI that nudges your team about the follow-ups they're forgetting.
Auto-generated weekly/monthly summaries — not a dump of numbers, but actual prose: 'sales up 18%, mostly from the X campaign, here's what to watch.' Goes to email, Slack, Notion.
I'm a senior engineer with years of experience shipping production software, and several years of that has been spent building real AI features at varying scale and complexity. Not weekend prompt-engineering — actual systems, in production, that businesses depend on.
What this means for you: when I say "this part should be an agent" vs "this part is a deterministic script", that's a real engineering call, not vibes. AI is amazing and AI is also wrong a lot. Knowing which is which is the whole job.
The tools below aren't a tech stack flex — they're the boring set I reach for first because they work.
Primary model for almost everything. Fast, careful, great at structured output and following spec.
Used where it's the right tool — some integrations, some specific tasks where it outperforms. No religion about models.
Multi-step workflows with tool calls, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, retries, and guardrails.
Reads invoices, receipts, screenshots, contracts — usually better than the OCR pipelines you've already tried.
Boring database. Your data lives in your own Supabase project. Auth, row-level security, simple to hand off.
Sometimes the right answer is glue, not custom code. I'll tell you when a workflow tool beats a build.
You tell me the painful workflow. I ask the dumb-on-purpose questions. We figure out together whether this is a real build, a Zapier flow, or a 'don't hire me, do this instead.'
I send a short, plain-language Product Requirements Doc — what gets built, how it behaves, what it doesn't do, integrations, the fixed price. You async-comment, then we hop on a call to lock it. The PRD is the contract.
Most builds are about a week of real work, spread over 2–3 weeks calendar time so you have room to look, react, and request small changes. Daily preview link, Slack channel, no surprises.
Deploys to your accounts. 30-day warranty + a buffer of free hours for tweaks and small adjustments. After that: optional $400/mo lights-on retainer or hourly for ad-hoc work. You own the code.
I quote you a number after the discovery call. That number doesn't change unless you change the scope. Most projects end up in the middle bucket.
Best for: a single automation, smarter form, focused dashboard, or doc-parsing flow. One thing, done well.
Best for: a custom internal tool, an AI workflow with several moving parts, or replacing a SaaS that doesn't fit your business.
Best for: full AI agent systems, multi-tool workflows, or replacing several manual processes at once. Quoted exactly after the PRD.
Bring the painful workflow, the sticky note pile, the spreadsheet from hell. Within 48 hours you'll have a Loom showing what I'd build, what it costs, and how long it takes. If we're not a fit, I'll tell you who is.
