Typical delivery

BYOK is the point

Every tool I build connects directly to your AI provider — OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, or Deepseek. No middleman. No data markup. No lock-in. You own the stack.

What I build

Four ways I can help your business.

Custom-built, not templated. Every tool is scoped to your workflow and deployed on your infrastructure.

01 ----

AI Agents & Automations

Autonomous agents that run a task end-to-end and live where you already work — Telegram, Slack, email. They don't wait to be prompted: they check in, follow up, and report back.

$2,500 – $8,000

02 ----

AI-Powered Internal Apps

Full web or desktop apps built around AI — chat interfaces, copilots, internal tools your team runs on. Type naturally; the app structures the data, fills the forms, routes the workflow.

$5,000 – $15,000

03 ----

Customer-Facing AI Assistants

Assistants on your website that answer from your real business data — quotes, FAQs, intake, booking. Running on your own AI account, so every conversation stays yours.

$2,500 – $8,000

04 ----

AI-Powered Reporting & Insights

Stop building the same report every Monday morning. AI that reads your business data, writes the weekly summary, and flags what actually needs your attention.

$2,500 – $6,000

How it works

Simple process. Real results.

From first conversation to deployed tool — typically 2 to 6 weeks.

Step 01

Discovery Call

Free 30-minute call. I ask about your most painful manual process. You ask me anything. No pitch.

Step 02

Scoped Proposal

I send a fixed-scope proposal with a flat price. No hourly surprises. You know exactly what you're getting.

Step 03

Build & Iterate

I build it, you give feedback. Usually 1–2 revision rounds. You see progress early — not just at the end.

Step 04

Deploy & Hand Off

You own everything — code, API keys, infrastructure. Optional retainer for ongoing updates if you want.

Work

Work that ships.

Two real tools I built and use every day, plus two concept demos showing exactly how I approach common client problems.

Case Study 01 — Internal Tool

Forte Pilot — AI Project Management Tool

Managing project documentation at a large tech employer meant copy-pasting across 6 tools, manually selecting review principles, and re-formatting the same data every time. I built a desktop app that changed all of that.

Any AI provider

The problem

Entering structured project data required visiting multiple tools. Leadership principles had to be manually selected every time. Inconsistent entries caused downstream reporting errors.

What I built

A chat-driven desktop app. Type a project update naturally — the AI structures it into the right form fields, auto-selects relevant leadership principles, and formats it consistently every time.

Case Study 02 — Autonomous Agent

Coach — Autonomous Life-Coaching Agent on Telegram

A fully autonomous coaching agent I built for myself and talk to every day. It reaches out first — daily check-ins over Telegram — remembers my goals and context, and suggests the next move. The same agent pattern I build for businesses.

Any AI provider

The problem

Most AI chat tools are passive — they only respond when you remember to ask. Staying consistent with goals needs something that follows up on its own and carries context from one conversation to the next.

What I built

An autonomous agent with persistent memory and a proactive schedule. It messages me on Telegram, asks how things went, tracks goals over time, and adapts its coaching to what it knows about me — no prompting required.

Concept Demo 03 — Automation

Lead Intake Agent — Real Estate CRM

A concept build for a problem every brokerage knows: leads from 4 sources, copied into the CRM by hand every morning. Missed leads mean missed deals. This is the exact pattern I'd deploy for a real client.

The problem

Leads come in from Zillow, Realtor.ca, Facebook Ads, and the website. An admin manually checks each source, copies contact info into the CRM, and assigns agents. Leads sit for hours.

What I built

An n8n automation that monitors all 4 lead sources, enriches the data with AI, scores urgency, creates CRM entries, and notifies the assigned agent via Slack — all within minutes.

Concept Demo 04 — Dashboard

Weekly P&L Dashboard — E-commerce Brand

A concept build for a ritual every e-commerce founder knows: rebuilding the same Monday-morning spreadsheet from Shopify, ad platforms, and shipping data. This is how I'd replace it with a live dashboard.

Data sources merged

The problem

Revenue data lives in Shopify, ad spend in Meta and Google, and shipping costs in a CSV from the 3PL. The founder manually pulls numbers into a Google Sheet every Monday to see if the week was profitable.

What I built

A Python pipeline that pulls from all three APIs nightly, calculates true P&L with COGS and ad spend, renders it in a clean live dashboard, and has AI write a plain-English weekly summary flagging what needs attention.

Pricing

Flat rates. No surprises.

Fixed-scope projects only — every project gets a flat quote after a free scope call, so you know the price before I write a single line of code. Prices in CAD, plus HST.

Project intake

Tell me where the manual work is breaking your week.

If the process is repetitive, slow, or full of copy-paste, that is usually enough signal for a worthwhile automation. Send the messy version. I will help scope the clean one.
