Austin and Manor
The work is outrunning your notebook.
I build practical, custom software that takes the repetitive busywork off your plate, set it up for your business, and hand it over so you own it.
I build real, working software, and I do it for local businesses.
If any of this sounds like your week.
The quote you forgot to send back
A good job comes in, you mean to follow up that night, and it slips. A week later they hired someone who answered first.
The Saturday you booked twice
Two jobs, same morning, both on a sticky note. Now you are choosing who to call and apologize to.
The same questions every night
Are you open this weekend, how much, do you come to me. You answer the same handful of messages after dinner, every night.
How this helps
I build the fix, then hand it to you.
You tell me where the day keeps snagging. I build a practical, custom system for that exact problem, set it up for how you already work, and show you how to run it. It is not a robot that replaces a person. It takes the busywork off your plate so you and your team can take on more of the real work.
The goal is your goal: more booked jobs, fewer dropped leads, and less time on the phone at night.
Why this is possible now
Custom software used to cost too much to be worth it. That changed.
For years, building custom software meant a budget that only made sense for a large company, so most owners reasonably skipped it. That was a fair read of the real cost back then. The cost of building has dropped far enough that a practical, custom system is now within reach for a local business. The old price was the problem, not your call.
The work I do
Some of what I’ve built.
This is real, working software that people use. I do this same kind of building for local businesses.
Primer
A tool for setting goals and tracking how a team is doing against them. Real software that businesses use to run themselves.
DavidPM
Uses AI to keep projects on track, with a person in the loop on the decisions. Real AI work, delivered with a human in control.
Cat asthma tracker
A native iPhone app that helps families track a cat’s asthma symptoms, medication, and breathing over time. A specific problem, shipped and used.
What you walk away with
You own what I build. No strings.
I solve the problem, hand over a working system, and step out. You own it and it keeps running without me. No open-ended retainer, no being tied to one vendor for the rest of its life.

Who you’d be working with.
I build real software, and I choose to do it for local owners directly. You would talk to the person doing the building, not a sales team and not a queue.
I have worked with AI since 2016, starting at Amazon’s Core Machine Learning group, and I build complete software end to end. That is here so you know you are in steady hands, not anyone’s experiment.
Questions
Plain answers.
What kind of businesses do you build for?
Local, owner-run service businesses that run on a phone, a notebook, and messaging apps. Landscaping and home services, cleaning, mobile detailing, personal care, pet and event work, solo bookkeeping, and the like. The fit is the situation, not the trade: real demand and a repetitive bottleneck.
Do I own what you build?
Yes. I build the system, set it up for your business, and hand it over. You own it. There is no open-ended retainer and no dependency on me to keep it running.
How much does a custom system cost?
It depends on the specific problem, so I scope it before I price it, which is normal for custom work. We figure out what is worth building in the first conversation, and you get a plain number before anything starts.
How do you stop double-booking and missed follow-ups?
I build the part of your day that keeps slipping into one simple system: a booking flow that cannot put two jobs in the same slot, reminders that go out on their own, and a record of every lead so none get dropped. It fits how you already work.
Is this a robot that replaces my team?
No. It takes the repetitive busywork off your plate so you and your team can do more of the real work. The goal is more booked jobs, fewer dropped leads, and less time on the phone at night.
Where do you work?
Manor and the Austin area, including East and Northeast Austin, Pflugerville, and Del Valle. Most of the work happens remotely and at your site, so there is no office to visit.
