Software & business consulting

Help your business run even smoother.

I streamline how work flows through your business, from the front counter to the books. I love open-source software, and it often lets you cancel a subscription or two and keep the savings.

Smoother workflows

I learn how your team works today, then trim the extra steps: double entry, paper logs, and end-of-day reports done by hand.

Custom tools

Simple apps built for one job. For example, a live bagel counter that lets customers check which bagels are in stock at each store before they head over.

Open-source swaps

Open-source software is free, solid, and yours to keep. It can often do the job of a paid subscription, like a dispensary's menu and inventory setup.

Tech checkup

A fixed-price look at your software, subscriptions, and security. You get a short list of quick wins, ranked by what they save.

AI for the busywork

Practical AI that answers common emails, reads invoices, and writes product descriptions, so your team gets hours back each week.

Keep it running

A monthly plan for updates, backups, security, and help when you need it. One local company to call.

Custom tools and workflows

Every business has a few tasks that no off-the-shelf app quite covers. I build small tools for exactly those jobs, and connect the apps you already use so information moves on its own. Here are a few ideas:

Bagel shop

Live bagel counter

Customers check which bagels are in stock at each store before they head over. Fewer calls, fewer sold-out surprises.

Egg farm

Live egg counter

A small, low-cost camera with AI counts eggs as they're collected, and a web page shows the count in real time. I built this one: it's running on farms today at eggcounter.com.

Indoor grow or greenhouse

Hydroponic automation

Sensors watch pH, nutrients, water, temperature, and humidity, and run the pumps, lights, and fans on schedule. You get a text if anything drifts, all on open-source tools instead of a monthly controller subscription.

Dispensary

Menu and inventory sync

Menu boards and the website update from inventory automatically, built on open-source tools instead of a monthly subscription.

Repair shop or contractor

Job tracker

One screen shows every job and where it stands. Customers get a text when work starts, when it's finished, and when it's ready to pick up.

Salon or service business

Booking with reminders

Customers book online and get a reminder text the day before, so fewer appointments are missed.

Restaurant or retail

End-of-day report

Sales, hours, and top sellers land in your inbox every night, with no spreadsheet to fill in.

Any business with paperwork

Paper to tablet

Checklists, inspections, and sign-offs on a tablet, filed automatically as tidy PDFs.
