Selected work
A few examples
of the work.
From a recurring workflow to a business learning to build for itself.
Leadbrew Automation
≈1 hour
Automated.
Customer onboarding, handled.
About an hour of manual work per new customer, translated into a repeatable workflow for AI agents.
About the project
A team member recorded the process and explained each step. I translated the work into agent skills, then iterated and tested the defined workflow.
The agents extract customer details from Slack, handle Google Business setup and service descriptions in Search Atlas, and prepare website recommendations for a developer. The developer carries out the subsequent website changes.
Hands-on guidance also helped the founders start building with AI themselves.
DeGroot Custom Homes AI adoption
Outsourced.
Now in-house.
Taking control of the website.
Practical guidance helped the business move from relying on developers to managing its own website and SEO with AI.
About the project
Consulting and discovery helped DeGroot become a regular Claude user and expand what they could do themselves.
Alongside that adoption, an AI-search assessment helped guide changes to their online presence. The reported result moved from no mention to the top three; results vary by question, platform, location and date.

A little about me
Practical experience.
Technical curiosity.
Hi, I’m Byron.
Twenty years growing businesses, a decade obsessed with AI. I help founders and teams improve the systems they run on: more time, more money, less pain.
I wasn’t always a developer. I spent years solving real problems in the field: high-ticket construction, telecom infrastructure, physical automation. So I know the real constraints work runs into, in the field and in the office.
I’ve built, run and managed projects start to finish, along with the customers and systems behind them. When AI got good enough, putting it to work on all of that was the obvious next step.
Systems, marketing or technical development: I build what fits and improve what’s already there. If something isn’t worth doing, I’ll say so.
I stay obsessed with AI and keep up with the pace so you don’t have to.
Let’s talk
What needs to
work better?
Tell me what you’re working on, where things get stuck, or what you’d like to build. We’ll start there.
