Your business shouldn't work around your software.

Off-the-shelf tools make you change how you operate to fit their idea of a customer, a job, a stage. Custom software goes the other direction.

The actual job

Six tools become one.

Most businesses I meet aren't missing software. They have too much of it, and none of it talks.

Before

  • A spreadsheet nobody trusts
  • Leads in three inboxes
  • Missed calls, no record
  • Follow-up "when I remember"
  • $ Invoices chased by text
  • Five apps, five logins, five bills

Same business. Same people. Fewer places for a customer to fall through.

What I build

Five things, done properly.

Usually two or three of them at once, because that's how a business actually works.

01

Websites & storefronts

Pages that load fast and sell something.

Marketing sites, e-commerce, catalogs with nine thousand SKUs. Built as code, hosted on infrastructure you own, no monthly page-builder tax.

  • Astro / Next.js
  • Shopify + custom storefronts
  • Product catalogs & PIM
  • Core Web Vitals in the green
02

CRM & pipelines

One place every lead lands.

Structured tables and stages that match how you actually sell — not how a SaaS company thinks you should.

  • Custom pipelines & stages
  • GoHighLevel / HubSpot builds
  • Lead routing & dedupe
  • Forecasting that is honest
03

AI agents

Something that answers at 9pm.

Receptionists, intake agents, document readers. Grounded in your documents, with hard rules about what they will never say.

  • Voice & SMS receptionists
  • RAG over your documents
  • Intake & qualification
  • Human handoff, always
04

Automations

Stop re-typing the same data.

The boring wiring between the six tools you already pay for. Runs at 3am, does not forget, tells you when it breaks.

  • System-to-system sync
  • Scheduled jobs & scrapers
  • Document generation
  • Alerting when it fails
05

Dashboards

The number you actually check.

One screen that answers "are we okay this month". Pulled live from the systems where the work happens.

  • Revenue & pipeline reporting
  • Live operational dashboards
  • Cohorts & retention
  • Exports your accountant likes

Leads arrived from four portals into three inboxes and one spreadsheet. Whoever saw it first worked it. Everyone assumed someone else had followed up.

How this goes

Four weeks, not four quarters.

You always know what's being built, what it costs, and when you'll see it.

  1. 01

    Talk 45 minutes

    You walk me through a normal Tuesday. I ask annoying questions about the parts everyone hates.

  2. 02

    Scope 3 days

    A fixed price and a list of exactly what ships. If I got the scope wrong, that is my problem, not your invoice.

  3. 03

    Build 2–8 weeks

    You see it every week in a link you can click. Not a status email — the actual thing.

  4. 04

    Hand off ongoing

    You own the code and the accounts. Care plan if you want me around, no hostage-taking if you do not.

What does custom software cost?

Depends on what it has to do. So configure it and find out — the same arithmetic I'd do on a call.

01 — What kind of business

02 — What should it do

03 — How many people use it

6

Small team. One shared pipeline, no permissions headache.

    Fixed price agreed before anything is written. If I am wrong about scope, that is my problem, not your invoice.

    Deposit is real Stripe checkout and comes off the first invoice. Refundable for 7 days.

    If you can explain the process,
    I can probably build it.

    Tell me what you need

    Still here?

    Then you probably have something in your business that a piece of software should be doing. Tell me what it is. Worst case you get a straight answer about whether it's worth building.
