Independent expertise. Business impact.
Custom software and workflow automation for small businesses.
I build software around how your business should work. From connecting existing services to self-hosted web apps and AI agents, the goal is less effort, less friction, better quality, and more room to grow.
Small, scoped builds from $500 USD. Complete systems quoted individually.
Optional care from $100/month · Working with businesses worldwide
One connected operation, with checks, exception handling, and visibility into what needs your attention.
From one connection to a complete operation
Sometimes a simple integration is enough. Sometimes you need a purpose-built application, an AI system, or the foundations of a new business. We’ll choose the approach that serves the outcome.
Useful tools become extra work when information has to move between them by hand.
Connect your existing services, keep data in sync, and automate the handoffs that slow your team down.
Service integrations · APIs · Data syncSpreadsheets and generic software can only bend so far before the work starts bending around them.
Get a self-contained web app with the screens, data, rules, and approvals your business needs. Host it on infrastructure you control.
Custom web apps · Internal tools · Self-hostingResearch, document review, and complex requests take more than a fixed sequence of steps.
Build agents that work with your information, use tools, and carry out multi-step tasks—with clear checks and human approval where needed.
AI agents · Knowledge systems · Document processingA new service can create a new pile of admin: taking orders, delivering work, collecting payments, and tracking quality.
Build the software and automation behind the business, from customer intake to delivery and reporting. Start with a working version, then expand.
Customer portals · Operations · End-to-end automationAn example you can explore
Imagine a small service business managing requests across email and spreadsheets. A custom app can give each job one place to move forward, with people in control of the decisions that matter.
The customer fills in a form. The app creates a job with the request, contact details and a visible status, so nothing needs copying into a spreadsheet.
Owner notification: sent. Next step: check the request.
When something goes wrongMissing details or a failed connection stay visible for a person to resolve. A failed step should never look like a completed job.
Built to fit your operationUse ordinary software for rules and approvals; add AI where interpretation helps. Hosting, integrations and any AI usage are scoped separately.
This is a browser-only illustration, not a live client system. It sends no requests or notifications. A complete workflow like this is quoted individually; a $500 first milestone could cover a narrower part.
Tell me about a workflow like this ↗A clear scope before a build
Tell me what you want to improve or launch: less admin, faster delivery, more consistent quality, or a smoother path from interest to revenue.
We’ll map the workflow, choose the software and automation it needs, and agree the first version, fixed price, timeline, and measures of success.
We test the agreed scenarios, including failures. You get the application or automation, documentation, and a walkthrough on infrastructure or accounts you control.
Start small. Expand when it helps.
From $500 USD / project
A focused first version: a service integration, a small custom tool, or one part of a larger system. For example, turn one request form into a tracked job with an owner notification.
From $100 USD / month
Help keeping your delivered software and automations running as expected.
Software subscriptions, hosting, messaging, and AI usage are separate and agreed upfront. Full applications, AI systems, and business-wide automation are scoped individually. Maintenance is optional; your software, data, and accounts stay under your control.
The person doing the work
I’m an AI systems engineer and independent software builder. I work across web applications, OCR, computer vision, LLMs, and agent systems. You’ll work directly with me to turn a business problem or a new idea into working software.
A system that finds news, creates videos, and publishes them. A two-month experiment in automating an operation, with honest lessons about quality, costs, and finding an audience.
The software handled production and publishing. Choosing the right audience and maintaining quality remained business decisions.
Turned a repetitive editing routine into an app for an existing Nothing Phone (2a). It cleans up speech, creates subtitles, and prepares videos for review, with processing kept on the phone.
Less hands-on editing, with a person reviewing the result before uploading. Processing time varies; it is not instant.
How I use AI to help build software, from understanding the problem to checking the finished result. A look at the process behind the work, including testing and reviewing real user journeys.
Yes. I can build a self-contained web application with its own interface, database, and business logic, and deploy it on infrastructure you control. It can operate independently or connect to other services where useful.
Yes. A system can use predictable application logic for records, permissions, and transactions, with AI agents for tasks such as research, document interpretation, or multi-step work. We’ll agree where autonomy helps and where checks or approvals belong.
If your current tools already do the job, connecting them may be the simplest first step. If the work depends on shared records, permissions, approvals or screens those tools cannot provide, a custom app may fit better. We’ll compare the setup, running costs and ownership before choosing.
Use predictable software for calculations, permissions and fixed rules. AI can help interpret documents, research information or handle varied requests. For example, AI might extract details from an email while application rules check required fields and a person approves the result.
Hosting, storage, traffic, paid integrations and AI usage depend on the system. A small app without AI has different costs from an agent processing documents all day. We’ll identify the dependencies, estimate costs against expected usage and agree spending controls before building. Optional care is separate from those bills.
A small integration, a focused internal tool, or a narrowly scoped first milestone. A complete web app, an agent system, or end-to-end business automation needs an individual quote based on the scope.
We start by clarifying the business problem, the result you want, and any existing tools or constraints. Before a build begins, we agree the deliverables, price, timeline, access needed, and acceptance checks in writing. Larger projects can be split into milestones.
Not necessarily. We can choose managed hosting or infrastructure you control, depending on your needs. We’ll agree who handles deployment, updates, backups, and day-to-day operation, along with the running costs, before work begins.
Care is agreed for specific delivered systems, with a defined allowance for monitoring, troubleshooting, fixes, and minor changes. Support hours and response expectations are written into the scope. New features, additional systems, and work outside that allowance are quoted separately.
Yes. Self-hosting and client-owned infrastructure are options. You get the source code or workflow configuration and documentation, with any third-party dependencies and running costs explained upfront. Ongoing care is optional.
Build the next version of your business
Send me one repetitive workflow you’d like to improve, or an idea you want to build. Tell me where the friction is and what a better result looks like. We’ll define a sensible first version.
