I'm James. I build automations and AI agents for small and mid-sized businesses — the kind that quietly save you a day a week, then another, then another. No jargon, no six-figure platform fees.
Someone spends half their Monday building the same report leadership asks for every week.
Leads show up in one of four places. Some get followed up. Some don't. Nobody's fully sure which.
You find out about a customer complaint from a sales call — not a dashboard, not Reddit. Too late.
Three tools, three different customer counts. Every meeting starts by arguing about which is right.
"We should use AI for this" comes up weekly. Nobody has time to figure out which AI, or for what, or how.
You tried one no-code automation. It broke. Now you don't trust them. Fair, honestly.
Click the toggle. Watch the knot untangle itself.
Zapier, Make, n8n, or custom code. The glue between the tools you already use.
Agents that read, decide, and act — without hallucinating your business into a lawsuit.
Automated sourcing, enrichment, and outreach that doesn't feel like spam.
Know what people are saying — in real time, across the whole internet.
One email a day. Everything leadership needs. Nothing they don't.
Stop pulling numbers from seven places. One pipeline, one source of truth.
Half-day workshop. You leave with a prioritized list of what to automate first.
When off-the-shelf doesn't fit. Built fast, handed off clean. You own it.
Four steps. Nothing weird. No 40-page SOWs.
Thirty minutes. You tell me where it hurts. I tell you if I can help.
Half-day audit of your tools and workflows. You get a prioritized plan with a fixed price.
I ship. You review. Nothing goes live without your OK.
Docs, training, 30 days of monitoring. You walk away with something that just... runs.

I got into this because I watched smart people waste their time on the same repetitive tasks week after week. Automation, done carefully, gives that time back. That's the pitch.
I placed first at Microsoft's on-campus hackathon in the AI agents track. I run Oregon State's Agent Hub — the tool faculty and students use to build and manage custom AI agents — and I helped write the university's AI governance policy. So yes, I've read the fine print.
If anyone on your team spends more than an hour a week copying data between tools, formatting reports, or chasing updates — you'll see a return. The discovery call is free; we'll figure it out together, no pressure.
Honestly? The opposite. Small teams get the most leverage because every saved hour is a bigger % of capacity. Some of my best work is for teams of 5–15.
That's usually where the interesting work is. I've connected REST APIs, scraped old vendor portals, and written Python bridges when an API didn't exist. If it talks, I can wire it up.
Every engagement is scoped. Audits are a flat rate; builds are fixed-scope after the audit. You'll know the number before I start and it won't change unless you ask for more.
Yes, 100%. Code, workflows, prompts, configs — all yours. I hand over docs and a walkthrough. No lock-in, ever.
Well-built automations rarely break, but things change. 30 days of monitoring come with every build. After that, I offer retainers for ongoing care — or you handle it yourself.
Yep. I regularly pair with in-house engineers, ops folks, and agencies. Happy to be the specialist, not the owner.
Thirty minutes. Totally free. No slides, no pitch deck — just a real conversation about where your week is going.
