What I build

Three ways to make the busywork disappear.

Every project is different, but most of what I build falls into one of these. Often the right answer is a hybrid of all three.

Automation workflows

Connect the tools you already use — your POS, accounting, scheduling, email — so data moves automatically and nothing falls through the cracks.

Custom web apps

Lightweight, focused tools built for how your business actually works. Dashboards, internal apps, customer portals, tracking systems.

Who I help

Small business owners who've outgrown duct-tape systems.

If you're a small business owner running operations out of a half-dozen spreadsheets, sticky notes, and tools that don't talk to each other — you're who I work with.

From a single family-owned location to a multi-unit operator. Restaurants, retail, service businesses, contractors. Anywhere information lives in five different systems and nothing talks to each other.

Recently shipped

A few things I've built lately.

Every project is different. Here are the kinds of systems I build for small business owners trying to get their operations under control.

Service business

Sales pipeline automation

Custom-coded lead routing and follow-up system. Runs on a private server, integrates with their CRM and email so no lead gets dropped.

How it works

No surprises. No mystery.

Every engagement starts with understanding the problem. Then we agree on scope and price before any code gets written.

01 / Discovery

Understand the actual problem

A conversation about how your business runs today, where the friction is, and what would actually move the needle.

02 / Proposal

Clear scope, fixed price

A written proposal with what gets built, what it costs, and when it ships. No hourly billing surprises.

03 / Build & handoff

Ship, train, support

Build the system, train you on how to use it, and stay available for ongoing tweaks and maintenance.

Common questions

Things people ask before reaching out.

Most projects ship in 2–6 weeks from kickoff. Simple automation workflows can be live in a week. Larger web apps with multiple integrations take longer. Every proposal includes a target ship date.

After a short discovery call, you get a written proposal with a fixed scope and a fixed price. No hourly billing, no scope-creep surprises. If the project changes mid-build, we agree on a change order before any new work gets done.

That's the normal starting point — and it's what discovery is for. We talk through how your business actually runs, where the friction is, and what would move the needle. Then I write up a recommendation. You're under no obligation to move forward.

Yes. Every project includes a handoff period for tweaks and training, and ongoing support is available on a monthly basis. Most clients keep a small monthly retainer in place for maintenance, hosting, and improvements as their business changes.

It depends on the project. For automations: n8n on a private VPS for reliability. For data layers: Airtable, Supabase, or Postgres. For custom web apps: Node.js and lightweight modern frontends. The right stack is whatever fits your problem and budget — not whatever's trendy.
