30 years in construction. Now building AI-powered software for the people who build things. I hear a problem from someone in the field and build the system that solves it.
I was born into a hardwood flooring company. I learned to read a tape measure before I could ride a bicycle. Over 30 years, I went from installer to framing carpenter to custom home builder to superintendent, managing multi-million dollar builds in Portland, Oregon.
I flipped a house solo — $315K purchase to $875K sale. During the COVID lockdown, that house sat on the market for 11 months. That forced pause is when I discovered AI tools and realized I could architect software systems the same way I build houses: identify the problem, plan the solution, manage the build, deliver the result.
I moved to New Mexico, landed in the Permian Basin, and started talking to the people working out here. Every conversation uncovered a problem that software could solve. So I started building.
Every project started with a conversation with someone in the field. Not a boardroom. Not a brief. A real problem from a real person.
From 48-hour audits to full system deployments. Every engagement starts with understanding the problem before writing a line of code.
Same process I used building houses — adapted for software. No mystery, no jargon, no scope creep.
Tell me about it in 15 minutes. If I can build something useful, I'll show you a prototype in 48 hours. If I can't help, I'll tell you that too.
