You will be talking to the person who builds it

What I actually do

I take the repetitive work a business runs on and make it take minutes instead of afternoons. In practice that is usually quoting and estimates, booking and scheduling, reading documents and drawings, and the paperwork that happens after the job.

A large share of the work is not building something new at all. It is making software a business already bought actually work: Jobber, ServiceTitan, QuickBooks, Microsoft Copilot. I take no margin on anyone’s licences, which is the whole reason it is worth asking me rather than the vendor.

Where I come from

I studied Interactive Media Studies at Miami University, here in Oxford, and started building for businesses around this area in 2012.

Since then I was part of Ahalogy, a Cincinnati company that sold to Quotient Technology in 2018. I taught engineering at The Iron Yard, which is a good way to find out whether you actually understand something. And I built Scout, an AI shopping assistant, which is where the AI side of this stopped being theoretical for me.

The through line is that I have spent more time on the unglamorous middle of software than on the demo. Getting data out of one system and into another correctly, handling the case nobody thought about, and building the thing so the person using it on a Tuesday does not have to think about it.

How I work

• The first call is free and short. Fifteen or twenty minutes about where your time goes. If I do not see anything worth building, I will tell you that rather than scoping something anyway.
• You try it before you commit. Something working in days that you run against real jobs. If it does not save time, you have spent a conversation.
• Nothing gets ripped out. Whatever you use now for scheduling, invoicing or job tracking stays. The new thing plugs into it.
• Nothing reaches a customer unchecked. Quotes, replies and paperwork get drafted for you, not sent behind your back.
• You own it. The code lives in your repository, built on ordinary technology any competent developer can pick up. No proprietary lock-in.

The limits, plainly

I am one person, so I take a small number of projects at a time and I will say if I am not the right fit. If what you need is an off-the-shelf product, I will point you at it. If a job genuinely needs a team, you should hire a team. And if you want someone to tell you AI will transform your business, that is not going to be me.
