Most small businesses know they need to get smarter with AI and their online presence. But agencies are expensive, freelancers disappear, and “AI consultants” who’ve never shipped real software are everywhere right now.

You need someone who’s actually built this stuff.

What I Build

AI That Does Things

Custom AI tools built on real APIs (Claude, OpenAI, etc). Chatbots that don’t suck. Internal tools that save hours. Automations that run while you sleep.

Get Found. Get Leads.

Landing pages, lead capture flows, email sequences, and the tech stack to make it all work together. Built to convert, not just look good.

Look Like You Mean It

Professional websites, brand cleanup, and digital presence audit. For businesses that are great at what they do but look like it’s still 2014 online.

I’m Shawn — senior software engineer, veteran, and the guy who got tired of watching businesses get overcharged for mediocre tech work.

I’ve shipped AI tools for Fortune 500 companies, government labs, and startups. Now I’m doing it on my own terms — smaller teams, faster timelines, and no middlemen between you and the person actually writing the code.

Based in Southern California. Dog dad. Zelda fan. Manual transmission enthusiast.
