STEP 01
Tell me what’s wrong
Twenty minutes on a call. A printer that won’t print, or the part of the week you dread.
Taking on new projects
Run your business like you have an IT team.
For owner-run businesses around Portland and remote: I fix the printers, Wi-Fi and logins that break, and build the intake forms, quotes and invoicing you’re retyping by hand. You own every account, and you talk to the person doing the work.
How it works
Three steps. No deck, no discovery phase.
One person start to finish. You talk to me, not a project manager.
STEP 02
I fix it or build it
Fixes are booked the same week. A build takes about a week, with one check-in partway.
STEP 03
It stays done
You get a short note or walkthrough video, so whoever comes next can pick it up.
What I fix and build
Problems I keep seeing, and how I solve them.
Click through the demos. They run on a made-up company, so nothing you do breaks anything.
01
Working demo
Intake to invoice, automated
- Before
- Every job typed out three times: into the quote, the calendar and the invoice.
- After
- The request comes in once. The quote, the job and the invoice fill themselves in.
02
Working demo
The one dashboard that replaced five tabs
- Before
- Five tabs open just to see who owes you and what is next.
- After
- One screen with today’s leads, jobs and unpaid invoices.
03
Working demo
A quote bot that answers at 11pm
- Before
- Late-night enquiries wait until morning, and some go to whoever answered first.
- After
- They get a price range from your own price sheet, and you wake up to a lead.
04
Real job
The printer nobody could print to
- Before
- A shared printer at a Portland coworking space that members could not print to.
- After
- Fixed on-site, and everyone printing again.
Pricing
You know the price before I start.
Fixed price, agreed before I start. If it takes me longer than I thought, that is my problem, not your invoice.
The guarantee. I keep working on it at no extra cost until it does what I said it would.

Questions
The things people ask me first.
Do you only do automation?
No. If it plugs in or logs in, ask. Printers that won't print, Wi-Fi that drops, a shared drive nobody can find anything in, the laptop for the new hire. On-site around Portland, remote anywhere else. Plenty of my work starts this way: I fix the thing that's broken, and while I'm there we spot the hour of the week worth automating.
I don't know what to automate. Where do we even start?
That is the normal starting point, and it's what the call is for. You don't need to arrive with a spec. Tell me which hour of your week you dread most and we work backwards from there. Nine times out of ten the answer is retyping something that already exists somewhere else.
What happens if you disappear?
Every account is created in your name and your email, on day one, not handed over at the end. I don't hold a single login you can't reset without me. You also get a walkthrough video so the next person can pick it up cold. I lost a business to a developer who did the opposite, so this one is not negotiable for me.
Do I have to switch off the tools I already use?
No. I would rather connect what you have than sell you a migration. If you run on spreadsheets and a shared inbox, we build around spreadsheets and a shared inbox. The only time I suggest moving is when the tool itself is the thing costing you the hours, and then I will say so plainly and let you decide.
When do I pay?
A fix, when it's fixed. A build, half up front and half when it works and you have signed off. If it doesn't do what we wrote down yet, I keep working on it at no extra cost until it does.
About
I lost a business because I couldn't build it myself.
My wife and I ran a company valued at 3 million. We paid a developer, he took our code with him, and we had to close the doors. Bankruptcy, a new house, and a new baby all landed in the same three years.
So I learned to build. Now I do it for owners who are one spreadsheet and four browser tabs away from the same feeling.
I still drive a school bus in the mornings. It keeps me honest about whose time I am spending. I am new at this, so my first clients get my full attention.
