The Problem

Sound Familiar?

You're the Bottleneck

Invoices, follow-ups, onboarding, reporting. It all runs through you. Your day vanishes into $0/hr admin work while the revenue-generating stuff waits.

Your Tools Are Duct-Taped Together

A CRM here, a spreadsheet there, three browser tabs holding it all together. You're the glue. And when you step away, things fall apart.

Growth = More Hours, Not More Money

Every new client means more manual work. You can't hire yet, so you just work more. That's not a business. That's a job you can't quit.

AI Sounds Great, But Where Do You Start?

You've seen the demos. You've read the Twitter threads. But wiring AI into your actual business? Nobody's showing you how to do that.

My Process

How I Work

No 12-week discovery phases. No enterprise red tape. Just a clear, fast process built for people who run lean.

01

Discovery

I audit your workflows, tools, and pain points. We find exactly where you're bleeding time and money, and what to fix first so you feel it fast.

02

Build

I design and build your custom system. AI agents, automations, dashboards, apps. Whatever solves the problem. Built for your business, not from a template.

03

Launch & Scale

I deploy, test, and stick around to optimize. Your systems run 24/7. Handling clients, sending follow-ups, processing data. Even while you sleep.

My Solutions

What I Build

No cookie-cutter templates. No "we'll circle back" consulting. Real systems that run your business while you focus on growing it.

Custom-Built Automations

I don't slap Zapier on it and call it a day. I code your automations from scratch. Webhooks, APIs, custom scripts. Faster, cheaper, and actually yours.

  • Hand-coded workflow automations
  • Automated client onboarding
  • Hands-free invoicing & follow-ups

Multi-AI Agent Systems

Not one chatbot. A team of AI models working together. I build multi-agent systems where GPT, Gemini, and Claude each handle what they're best at.

  • Multi-model orchestration via OpenRouter
  • AI decision-making councils
  • Autonomous research & analysis agents

Full-Stack Web Apps

From landing pages that convert to full SaaS platforms with auth, databases, and admin dashboards. I build the whole thing, not just the pretty front.

  • SEO-optimized landing pages
  • Admin dashboards & client portals
  • Full-stack apps with Supabase & Drizzle

AI Content Pipelines

Automated systems that research topics, generate SEO-optimized articles, create images, and publish. Your content machine runs on autopilot.

  • AI-powered blog & newsletter generation
  • Automated SEO research with Perplexity
  • Image generation & publishing pipelines
My Toolkit

What I Work With

Not just buzzwords on a slide deck. These are the tools I ship with every week.

AI & LLMs

I build with the best models and know when to use which.

OpenAI Anthropic Google Gemini Perplexity OpenRouter Prompt Engineering AI Agents

Automation & APIs

Hand-coded workflows. No platform fees, no limits.

Webhooks REST APIs API Orchestration Cron Jobs Custom Scripts Event-Driven Pipelines

Frontend

Fast sites that look premium and convert visitors.

Astro React TypeScript Tailwind CSS Three.js shadcn/ui Framer Motion

Backend & Data

Solid foundations for real applications.

Supabase PostgreSQL Node.js Python Drizzle ORM Vercel Replit Cloudflare R2
Track Record

Not My First Rodeo

A decade in the trenches. Content, SEO, marketing. All for freelancers and small businesses just like yours. Now I pair that with AI and automation to build systems that actually move the needle.

Your Systems Run
even when you don't

Every solopreneur I talk to knows they should be using AI. Almost none of them know how to actually wire it into their business without breaking things. That's the gap I fill.
