Services

I build the systems your business actually needs, and you own every one.

Most work is one of the things below. All of it ends in something you can operate, hand off, and keep building on. AI shows up where it earns its place, not as a gimmick.

What I build

Concrete work, not categories.

Each of these is grounded in something I have actually shipped. The example under each one is real.

01Build

Custom apps and sites

Customer-facing or internal apps, booking and intake flows, member areas, and owner-editable sites. Fast, modern, and yours to run.

For exampleLike DeMario's coaching site: a student goes from a DM to a confirmed, paid lesson against the owner's real availability, and the owner runs it all from one admin.

Web appsBookingMember areasOwner-editable

You keepA working system your customers use and you operate.

02AI

AI where it earns its place

Intake summarizers, document processing, retrieval over your own material, classification and risk-flagging, drafting assistants. Always with a human in the loop and a clear boundary. Not a chatbot for the sake of it.

For exampleLike Signal Brief's source-grounded briefs, or a retrieval assistant tied to real citations instead of guesses.

RAGSummarizeClassifyHuman-in-loop

You keepAI that makes a real decision clearer, and that you can trust.

03Run

Dashboards and admin systems

See the business and run it without living in spreadsheets: inquiries, follow-ups, pipeline, tasks, availability, and status in one place you control.

For exampleLike the owner admin behind DeMario: bookings, inquiries, availability, and tasks, instead of a notebook and memory.

AdminPipelineStatusTasks

You keepOne place to see and run the operation.

04Run

Workflow automation

Kill the manual drag: the re-typing, the copy-paste between tools, the leads that fall through the cracks. Right-sized automation you understand and own.

For exampleThe point is never automation for its own sake. It is removing the specific steps that cost you time and let things slip.

IntakeFollow-upIntegrations

You keepLess manual work, fewer dropped balls.

05AI/ML

Data and real ML

Forecasting, classification, and deployed models for when a decision actually needs them. Trained, evaluated, and shipped, not a notebook that dies on a laptop.

For exampleSix models in production, including sales forecasting (R² 0.932) and failure prediction (recall 0.837), with two live demos you can click.

ForecastingClassificationDeployed

You keepA model that informs a real decision, running in production.

06Build

The unglamorous glue

Migrations, integrations, and cleanups. Getting your scattered tools to finally talk to each other.

For exampleOften the highest-value work: not a new thing, but the connective tissue that makes everything you already have actually work together.

MigrationsIntegrationsCleanup

You keepSystems that connect instead of leak.

How it is priced

Three ways in. Honest starting points, not final quotes.

The exact number comes out of the Diagnostic Call and the Blueprint, so neither of us is guessing.

01Start here

Blueprint

Flat fee$1,500

A paid diagnostic for bigger or unclear work: a value case, a workflow map, a technical plan, and a clear recommendation, including what not to build yet. Credited toward the build if you go ahead.

02The work

Build

From$7,500

The actual implementation, with clear deliverables, owner review points, and acceptance criteria. Nothing built that you do not need.

03Ongoing

Advisory

From$2,500/mo

The technical brain and hands on call, for when the business needs steady momentum instead of a one-off. Month to month.

No lock-in

You own everything.

The code lives in your repository. The data lives in your accounts. The domain is in your name. There is no lock-in, no exit fee, and nothing that holds your business hostage. When the work is done you can run it yourself, hand it to someone else, or keep building on it. That is the difference between hiring a partner and renting a platform.

A 20-minute Diagnostic Call. I will help name your top constraint and tell you honestly whether I can help. I take a few projects at a time, so each one gets real attention.
