I'm Jason — a freelance software engineer and fractional CTO. I build the automations, internal tools, apps, and systems that erase repetitive work and pay for themselves.
Most small teams lose 10–30 hours a week to work a script could do. Move the sliders. That number is the annual cost of leaving it manual.
$35,490
against a $1,500 build · 546 hours reclaimed per year
Conservative default: 70% of the manual work is automatable. The audit replaces these estimates with your real numbers.
Fixed-scope products, not open-ended hourly work. Every engagement starts with a number: what it costs, what it replaces, and when it ships.
Find the hours before you spend the money.
A one-week teardown of how work actually moves through your business. I map the repetitive tasks, quantify what they cost, and rank what is worth automating first.
Manual work, deleted.
I replace spreadsheets, inboxes, and copy-paste with a monitored pipeline. Invoices, onboarding, reporting, data sync — running quietly in the background.
One place for the work in eleven tabs.
Ops dashboards, admin panels, and client portals built around your actual process — not a generic template with your logo taped to it.
From data model to production.
A complete product: auth, payments, database, API, interface, deployment. Built to ship and stay shipped — not to impress you in a demo.
One codebase. Two stores.
iOS and Android apps with React Native and Expo. Native feel, shared logic, and a path all the way through App Store review.
Rebuild the system around the business.
I audit your information system, find the friction, and redesign the architecture and flows around how your team actually works.
Architecture, hiring, vendor decisions, roadmap, and delivery oversight. A few days a month, exactly when the decisions matter — not a permanent salary.
AI integration — document extraction, triage, drafting, search — can be built into any of the above. Tell me what's manual and I'll tell you what's possible.
No discovery theater. No 40-page deck. A clear path from the first conversation to software your team actually uses.
A free 30-minute call and workflow review. I ask what eats your week. You leave with two or three automation candidates — whether or not we work together.
A one-page plan: what gets built, what it replaces, what it saves, and when it ships. Fixed scope, fixed price. No hourly surprises.
Small increments and weekly demos. You test working software while it is being built, not a surprise at the end.
You own the code, the accounts, and the process. Documentation, a walkthrough, and 30 days of post-launch support are included.
Products I've designed, built, and shipped end to end — from mobile apps to AI platforms.
See all workAn interactive, self-paced course through the Stanford d.school × IDEO design thinking framework. Six phases, 36 exercises, 15+ frameworks — built to help founders and builders validate ideas with evidence, not assumption.
The curriculum architect for fitness professionals. Build exercise libraries, design structured workouts, and manage class schedules — all from one command center built for instructors who take their craft seriously.
Occasional writing on systems, architecture, and the craft of building software that lasts.
All postsTell me what's taking too long. I'll tell you whether it can be automated, what it would take, and what it's worth — before you spend a dollar.
