Recent work
Real businesses, live in production. Sites I designed and built, each with its own AI phone agent.

Custom site + 21-page local-SEO build + AI receptionist for an Austin tattoo shop.
Custom site + concierge AI phone agent for an Austin home-theater & smart-home studio.
Ace is a demo plumbing receptionist. Call it like a customer would — ask about a clogged drain, a quote, an appointment. This is what your phone could be doing.
Products I’m building
My agency for local trades. Done-for-you websites, AI receptionists, and local SEO — built for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, AV, tattoo, and other appointment-based businesses. Custom every time, no contracts, you own everything.
Self-serve AI receptionist platform. Spin up an agent, point a number at it, and it's answering in minutes. Built for agencies to white-label and resell, and for service businesses that want to run it themselves.
A personal AI screener for your cell. It picks up the calls you'd ignore, shuts down spam and robocalls, and texts you a clean summary of the ones that matter. Sign up, pick a number, done.
Other builds
A Model Context Protocol server that lets a business drive its real stack — Jobber, Twilio, GitHub, Railway, Resend — in plain language through Claude.
Stack: TypeScript + MCP SDK + Streamable HTTP on Railway.
Claude talks to the server, the server talks to your real tools. No screen scraping, no fragile glue.
A self-built multi-agent trading system. Trades the noise on one-minute timeframes with recovery-mode risk management. TypeScript on the Bun runtime.
About
I work full-time at a pool service company in Austin. I build software on the side because I saw what small businesses actually need and nobody was building it for them.
I know what tools you actually use, I know what’s a waste of money, and I know what works because I built it for myself first.
I work directly with TypeScript, Python, Node, real-time voice infrastructure, and AI tooling. No middlemen, no low-code platforms — every line of your project is custom for you.
Born and built in Texas.
