AI workflow automation & custom software for SMBs.
I help small and mid-market teams replace manual admin, brittle SaaS workarounds, and PDF-heavy processes with production software they own. Discovery, spec, build, deploy, handoff.
AI workflow automation audit
For teams buried in PDF handling, form collection, data entry, and SaaS workarounds. I spend 1-2 weeks mapping the workflow, finding the highest-leverage automation target, prototyping the risky part, and leaving you with a costed build roadmap.
- Audit of current workflow
- Build vs. buy assessment
- Prototype of one automation
- Roadmap & cost model
Custom software builds
For teams that know the workflow they want fixed. I build full-stack internal tools, client portals, and AI-assisted systems on your infrastructure or mine. The recent benchmark: a financial-advice portal that replaced two paid SaaS products and reached client use in thirty days.
- Spec-first, weekly demos
- You own the code
- Deploys & observability included
- 30 days post-launch support
Fractional AI builder
Embedded with your team for 2-3 days a week. I set up the AI-assisted build cadence, write specs, mentor your people, and ship production features alongside them. Best when you want capability transfer as well as output.
- 2-3 days/week, on your stack
- Build + coach hybrid
- 3 month minimum
- Async-first
Four steps. No surprises.
Discovery
30-minute call. We figure out if I'm the right person for the job. If not, I'll usually know someone who is.
Spec
I write a tight spec, scope, deliverables, milestones, fixed price or rate. You review. We sign.
Build
Weekly demos, async updates, code in your repo from day one. No black boxes.
Handoff
You get the code, the deploys, the docs, and 30 days of support. Then I get out of your way.
Common questions.
- Why you, vs. a development agency?
- Agencies usually sell capacity. I sell a scoped outcome with the builder in the room. The most recent example is a bespoke client portal for an Australian financial advisory firm that replaced two paid SaaS subscriptions and was in paying-client hands thirty days after I started.
- Who's the right fit for an engagement?
- Two kinds of teams. An SMB owner with a workflow that should have been automated years ago, such as onboarding, document handling, internal admin, or vendor SaaS you've outgrown. Or a consulting firm/in-house team that wants someone who can run AI-assisted builds end-to-end and ship production software.
- What kind of AI work do you actually do?
- The boring, useful kind. Document extraction. Pre-filling forms from existing paperwork. Classification. Workflow automation that replaces re-typing. I write evaluation suites so we can prove it works before it ships. If your idea needs a foundation model trained from scratch, I'm not your person.
- Do you sign NDAs?
- Yes, happy to sign yours, or I have a one-page mutual one I can send.
Got a workflow that should have been automated years ago?
Send the workflow, the systems involved, and what currently breaks. I'll tell you quickly whether it's a discovery, a build, or not a fit.
