Good at the actual work. Full order book. And completely capped. Not because the demand ran out, but because the owner is the only one who can do the admin.
A real one of you, outdoors, at work. Not a studio headshot. This is the page where a stranger decides whether to trust you with their invoicing.
There are only so many evenings in a week. I have watched more than one good operator hit a ceiling that had nothing to do with skill, or demand, or ambition. They simply ran out of hours, and every hour that was left went on paperwork.
What I also kept seeing, in my day job, is that most of that admin is genuinely solvable now. Not in a research-lab, five-years-away way. In an it-works-today way. The technology is not the gap.
The gap is that nobody running a busy business has time to work out where to start, and most of the people selling AI to them are selling a subscription and walking away. That is where I come in.
You bring the workflows. I bring the expertise.
Nobody knows your business better than you do. You should not have to become a technical person to get the benefit of this.For five years my job has been to go into somebody else's business, work out how their operation actually runs, build software that survives contact with it, and then stay while it beds in. In large companies that role is called forward-deployed engineering. It is the least glamorous and most useful engineering job there is, because it is the one where you have to be right about the real world rather than the diagram.
This is the same job, at a size the big firms will not get out of bed for.
A computer engineering background. The degree matters less than the five years of walking into operations that were nothing like the last one and having to be useful by Friday.
No account manager between us, and no junior building it while somebody senior takes the meetings. The person who sits with you for the free hour is the person who writes it and the person who answers when it misbehaves.
I am not reselling somebody's software with my name on it. It is built on the tools you already pay for, using standard parts, so you are never locked to me by anything other than being happy with the work.
This is deliberate. The model only works if I am close enough to your operation to understand it, and that does not survive taking on forty businesses at once.
Some businesses are not ready, and some admin is not worth automating. You should hear that from me in the first hour rather than find out after you have paid for it. It has happened, and it will happen again.
No charge, no pitch. I ask how the work moves through your business and tell you straight whether there is anything here worth doing.
