Foundation Operations
I'll build your entire
business platform.
From the ground up.
You're running your business on 6 different SaaS tools, none of them talk to each other, and you're paying $500+/month for the privilege. I replace all of it with one unified system — built for how your business actually works.
The Problem
Sound familiar?
Your CRM doesn't talk to your invoicing tool. Your invoicing tool doesn't talk to your scheduling app. Your scheduling app doesn't talk to your communications platform. You're copying data between tabs, paying for 6 subscriptions, and nothing works the way you need it to.
You've looked at custom software, but every agency quotes $50K+ and 6 months. You've looked at no-code tools, but they can't handle your actual workflows. You're stuck.
What I Build
One platform. Everything your business needs. Built around your actual workflow.
01
Customer Management
Customer records, equipment tracking, interaction history, and communication logs — all in one place. No more bouncing between spreadsheets and CRMs.
02
Invoicing & Payments
Generate invoices, process Stripe payments, track payment history, and automate follow-ups. Real money flowing through your platform, not a third-party tool.
03
Communications Hub
SMS, voice calls, email, and team chat — unified in one interface. Twilio for customer messaging, SMTP/IMAP for email, Socket.IO for real-time internal chat.
04
Workflow Automation
Work orders, warranty claims, scheduling, follow-ups, and approval pipelines — modeled around how your team actually operates. Not how some SaaS product thinks you should.
05
Reporting & Accounting
Double-entry bookkeeping, expense tracking, tax reports, and KPI dashboards. Your financial data lives inside your platform, not locked in QuickBooks.
06
Self-Hosted Infrastructure
Your platform runs on your server. No vendor lock-in, no per-seat pricing, no surprise rate hikes. You own the code, the data, and the infrastructure.
Proof of Work
I didn't just build this for clients. I built it for my own business first.
Case Study
Mac Daddy Sales & Service
A small engine repair shop in Land O' Lakes, FL. I replaced their entire software stack — CRM, invoicing, warranty management, communications, scheduling, and accounting — with one self-hosted platform. It handles live Stripe payments, Twilio SMS/voice, Google Drive file management, and a customer-facing portal.

How It Works
From first call to live platform in weeks, not months.
1
Discovery Call
We map your current workflow — every tool, every manual step, every pain point. I need to understand your business before I write a line of code. This call is free.
2
Architecture & Scope
I design your platform architecture and deliver a written scope document with features, timeline, and cost. You approve before work begins. No surprises.
3
Build & Iterate
I build in 2-week sprints with a live staging environment you can access from day one. You see progress in real-time and give feedback continuously — not after 3 months.
4
Deploy & Train
Your platform goes live on your infrastructure. I train your team, write documentation, and make sure everything works in production with real data.
5
Ongoing Support
Monthly retainer for maintenance, bug fixes, feature additions, and monitoring. Your platform evolves with your business. I don't disappear after launch.
Investment
Transparent pricing. No hourly billing. No scope creep.
Typical Engagement
Discovery & scopingFree
Platform build (4-8 weeks)$8K–$25K
Monthly maintenance retainer$500–$1,500/mo
Hosting (self-hosted VPS)$20–$80/mo
Compare that to $500+/month in SaaS subscriptions, plus the time you spend fighting with tools that don't fit. The platform pays for itself within the first year.
Why Me
I'm not an agency. I'm not a freelancer who will hand you a WordPress site. I'm an operator who builds production infrastructure.
I use AI to work at the speed of a team while maintaining the coherence of a single architect. Every decision — from database schema to Stripe webhook handler to nginx config — goes through one person who understands the full system.
I've built 5 production systems, integrated 7+ third-party services (Stripe, Twilio, Google Drive, Zoom, Supabase), deployed on self-hosted infrastructure, and maintained 100% uptime. That's not a resume claim — it's a live portfolio you can verify right now.
Questions
What kind of businesses is this for?
Service businesses, field operations, repair shops, logistics companies, small agencies — anyone who runs on workflows that SaaS tools don't quite fit. If your team is copying data between apps or doing things manually that should be automated, we should talk.
Do I own the code?
Yes. You own 100% of the code, the data, and the infrastructure. No vendor lock-in. If we part ways, you keep everything.
What's the tech stack?
React + Express.js + PostgreSQL, hosted on your own VPS. Integrations with Stripe, Twilio, Google Workspace, and whatever else your business needs. Everything self-hosted — no per-seat SaaS pricing.
How fast can you build it?
An MVP with core workflows typically takes 4-6 weeks. A full platform with payments, communications, and reporting takes 6-10 weeks. You'll have access to a live staging environment from week one.
You use AI to build software?
Yes, and it's why I can deliver at this speed and price point. AI accelerates the development process — I use it for architecture decisions, code generation, testing, and automated reviews. The result is production software that handles real money and real customers. The portfolio proves it.
