Your whole tech department
for $10,000 a month.

For growing local service, SaaS, and e-commerce companies without a full-time CTO.

  • 25 yrsbuilding software
  • 6 left4 of 10 client seats filled
  • 24/7AI office
  • 30-daynotice, month-to-month

Month-to-month, 30-day notice. You own everything I build. I cap the number of clients so every account gets real attention.

Sound familiar?

It’s 9 p.m. and you’re still the IT department.

  • Software subscriptions pile up and don’t talk to each other.
  • Vendors and freelancers each fix their piece, and nobody sees the whole.
  • Calls, emails and leads slip through after hours.
  • You know AI could help, but you don’t have time to sort out what’s real.
  • Hiring a CTO is expensive, slow, and a big bet on one person.

Now picture this

One person owns your tech. You get your evenings back.

I set the direction, build what’s missing and manage the vendors. Your AI office answers, follows up and reports around the clock. Every month you get a plain-English report: what I did, what it cost, what’s next.
