Good problems to bring me
You do not need to know whether the answer is AI, automation, an integration, or a custom application. Start with the part of the business that is harder than it should be.
- The same information gets entered in multiple systems.
- A recurring report takes too much manual work.
- Documents arrive and someone has to sort, rename, or file them.
- A process depends on one person remembering every step.
- An expensive vendor system does not fit the way the team works.
- You have an application idea and need a senior builder to shape it.
How I start
The first conversation is about the workflow, not the technology. I want to understand what happens today, who is involved, what tools already exist, and where the real cost or frustration sits.
If the problem needs deeper discovery, I scope that separately. The goal is to leave with a clear recommendation before anyone commits to a large build.
What I build
- Custom internal web applications
- Workflow automation and system integrations
- Private AI tools with appropriate access controls
- Document intake, classification, search, and retrieval tools
- Customer and staff portals
- Technical prototypes and architecture plans
Enterprise proof
ALLETE GPT is a private AI platform with company sign-in, encrypted storage, document handling, and access to approved AI providers.
TroubleTracker replaced a discontinued service-call system with software built around the actual dispatch and field workflow.
Call Vault is a secure, searchable archive of more than 500,000 recorded customer interactions.
Data and security
I have spent years building business-critical systems inside a regulated utility. That experience shapes how I think about sign-in, access, sensitive information, auditability, and when AI should not have access to data at all.
Pricing
The first 30-minute conversation is free. Deeper discovery and planning is $175 per hour. AI and automation work is scoped by project. Custom applications start at $20,000.
