What I Build
Real tools for real businesses. See examples below.
AI Automation
Custom AI systems that handle repetitive work: invoice payment detection, cold outreach, data entry, scheduling. Built with Claude API, GPT-4, and Gemini API. Real example: automated cold outreach tool that finds local businesses via Google Places, scores websites, and generates personalized emails, saving clients 20+ hours/week on manual lead research.
Web Applications
Fast, modern web apps built with React, Next.js, Node.js, and TypeScript. From client portals to internal tools, built to scale with your business. Real example: invoice reminder SaaS with automated payment detection via Stripe webhooks and email parsing.
System Integration
Connect your tools so they talk to each other. CRM to invoicing, inventory to shipping, email to database. Data flows automatically between systems — no copy-pasting, no manual syncing, no dropped balls.
Data & Analytics
Custom dashboards that show what matters. Real-time insights into your business performance, automated reports delivered when you need them. Stop guessing — start knowing what's working and what's not.

Common Questions
Straight answers about working with me.
AI automation projects typically range from $1,500 to $15,000+ depending on complexity. Focused automations (email workflows, data entry automation, system connectors) start around $1,500-$5,000. Mid-range projects (CRM integrations, custom chatbots, multi-step workflows) run $5,000-$15,000. Complex enterprise automations (multi-system platforms, custom AI models) are $15,000+. I charge $110/hour but most clients prefer fixed project pricing so there are no surprises. I offer free consultations to provide accurate quotes based on your specific needs.
AI can automate invoice payment detection, cold outreach and lead generation, data entry and extraction, email sorting and responses, appointment scheduling, report generation, website scraping, customer support chatbots, CRM data updates, inventory tracking, and document processing. Real example: I built an automated cold outreach tool that finds local businesses via Google Places, scores websites, and generates personalized emails, saving clients 20+ hours/week on manual lead research.
Every project is different, so I scope timelines during the free consultation once I understand exactly what you need. Focused automations move faster than enterprise platforms with multiple integrations, but I'd rather give you an honest timeline after we talk than throw out generic estimates. You work directly with me throughout. No agencies, no handoffs, no miscommunication.
Most clients see ROI within 3-6 months. AI automation typically saves 10-30 hours per week on repetitive tasks. At an average labor cost of $25-50/hour, that's $1,000-$6,000/month in saved time. Real example: my automated lead generation tool saves clients 20+ hours/week on manual research, paying for itself in under 2 months. Beyond time savings, automation reduces errors, improves consistency, and frees your team to focus on high-value work.
You work directly with me from first call to final deploy. No account managers, no junior devs, no miscommunication. I bring enterprise-level experience (I've built platforms for major telecoms) but charge small business prices. You get the same quality, faster turnaround, and clearer communication. Plus, I'm local in Burlington and available for in-person meetings if you prefer.
Contact me for a free consultation at [email protected] or (289) 244-5538. I'll learn about your business, identify automation opportunities, and provide a clear proposal with pricing and timeline. No pressure, no sales pitch, just honest advice on whether automation makes sense for your business. Most consultations take 30-45 minutes and you'll walk away with actionable ideas even if we don't work together.
