Small business automation · Sioux Falls, SD

You didn't start your business to do bookkeeping.
So stop doing it.

Bookkeeping, invoices, payments, appointments, time clocks and the phone. I automate the parts of your business that still run on copy-paste, so they run themselves.

Or call or text 605-502-0222. My own AI receptionist picks up — the same one I build for clients.

Your phone, answered. Every call, day or night.

It finds out who's calling and why, writes it down, and briefs your staff privately before any transfer. No contract, cancel anytime.

Don't take my word for it — it answers my own line. Call or text 605-502-0222 right now and you'll hear exactly what your customers would.

Most of it does not need you.

Every one of these is work a small business usually pays a person to do by hand, every week, forever. Each one can be handled on its own, or all of it together.

Bookkeeping

Your books stop being a weekend job.

Receipts, categories and reconciliation happen on their own. Tax season becomes a download instead of a scramble.

Invoices and payments

Invoices go out without you writing them.

Clients pay by card without leaving your site, and the payment lands in your books already categorised.

Appointments

Clients book themselves.

Your calendar fills, confirmations and reminders send themselves, and no-shows drop without you chasing anyone.

Time clocks

Staff clock in from their phones.

Hours total themselves and arrive at payroll ready to run. No paper timesheets and no rounding arguments.

Everything else that repeats

If it follows a rule, it can run without you.

The quote you retype, the report you rebuild every month, the same email you have sent fifty times. That is the work worth automating first.

Local SEO, Google Business & Ads

You show up before someone finds your competitor.

A Google Business Profile that is actually claimed and filled in, a site Google can read, and ad clicks landing on a page built to turn them into a call instead of your homepage.

Not sure which of these is costing you the most time? That is the conversation.

Family Business, Brand & Local SEO

House Painting Sioux Falls: Brand, Site & Local SEO Foundation

Strive4Purpose: Team Portal & Automation

Built the website, donor/CRM team portal, and the automation layer behind it for Strive4Purpose. A real, live nonprofit engagement, not a case study exercise.

Live production system: public site, donor/board portal, board-meeting minutes automation, grant discovery, and a resilient LLM pipeline with a real local-fallback provider rather than a single point of failure.
Strive4Purpose · Full-stack development, systems architecture, ongoing operations · React / Vite / Tailwind, Cloudflare Workers + D1, Groq + local Ollama LLM fallback, Zoho CRM integration

Automated Content Pipeline: Camera to Published Post

An end-to-end media pipeline that turns raw camera footage into edited, captioned, vertical short-form video ready for review and posting: silence-cut editing, AI highlight scoring, remote compute offload with automatic fallback, privacy-preserving content gating, and a human approval step before anything goes public.

A real, unattended overnight pipeline (camera offload through publish-ready video) with cost-aware compute routing, privacy-preserving content gating built and tested (not just designed), and a human approval gate before anything reaches a public audience.
· Design, build, and operate · Python, multi-stage pipeline architecture, Silence-based automatic editing + local speech-to-text, Local LLM highlight and hook scoring, Remote compute offload with automatic local fallback

ADHD Copilot

A real-time smart-home-integrated system that helps manage ADHD day-to-day: wake escalation, wind-down routines, activity nudges, and a weekly trend digest, all wired directly into home automation rather than a standalone app.

A live, always-on support system: graduated wake escalation tied to real smart-home devices, calendar-aware nudges, and a text-generation pipeline with three independent fallback providers so a wake-critical message never depends on exactly one service being healthy at 6:40am.
· Design, build, and operate · Home Assistant, Python, Local Ollama + cloud LLM fallback chain, systemd timers

Home Automation & Self-Healing Infrastructure

A full smart-home, media, and automation server: HomeKit, cameras with local AI motion/face detection, a large always-on service stack, and a self-healing recovery layer, shaped by real incidents, that keeps all of it running unattended.

A genuinely self-healing home server: automatic health-checked recovery for every service, a staggered priority-tiered restart after a crash or reboot so the box doesn't thrash itself, and monitoring that was deliberately expanded after real incidents exposed gaps a purely service-level health check couldn't see.
· Design, build, and operate · Home Assistant + HomeKit, Local AI camera detection (NVR-style, on-device), Containerized service stack (dozens of always-on services), systemd watchdogs + priority-tiered recovery

A real client, named

Strive4Purpose runs on systems I built and still maintain.

A South Dakota nonprofit was tracking donors, board work and grant applications across spreadsheets, email threads and whatever was on someone's phone. Now the public site, the donor and board portal, the meeting minutes and the grant search are one system that updates itself.

It is live, it is in production, and it is not a demo. The same pieces (booking, payments, records that file themselves) are the ones a plumbing company or a dental office needs.
