Examples from ventures and clients where we identified the bottleneck, built the fix, and handed off a system the team owns.
Automated lead nurturing & invoicing
Built with Twilio, Square & Gmail
Inbound leads get automated replies that suggest upgrades and upsells—no human intervention. When the lead is ready to book, the system sends the invoice automatically. Zero manual follow-up required.
AI-powered prospecting agent

An AI agent that finds qualified leads and automatically reaches out via email, text, and LinkedIn. Multi-channel outreach running 24/7—without adding headcount.
Smart phone routing at a fraction of the cost
Built with Twilio & Google Cloud
Custom business phone numbers that route calls to the right person automatically. Replaced expensive telecom contracts with a system that costs pennies on the dollar.
Modern interfaces for legacy software
Built with custom APIs & web apps
Replaced clunky legacy applications with simple, purpose-built interfaces that connect through APIs. Faster onboarding, fewer mistakes, and staff that don't need weeks of training to be productive.
