Hey, I'm Cody.
TLDR: I help people ship. Reach out if you need an AI-empowered architect with 20+ years experience who's shipped dozens of apps, provides fractional CTO services, or if you feel like the time is right to start automating your business.
I build things with software. I've been doing it long enough that the tools have changed three or four times over, and I've loved every version of the craft.
Right now I'm deep in the AI era — not the “slap a chatbot on it” kind, but the kind where you rethink how work actually gets done. I build agentic systems, ship products fast, and help teams figure out what's possible when you stop treating AI like a novelty.
Before all this, I spent years in the trenches of web development. React, Node, cloud infrastructure, the whole stack. That foundation matters — it's the difference between a demo and something that actually works in production.
I'm most alive when I'm building something new. The messier the problem, the better.
Things I've shipped
RunCrab
AI assistants set up for founders who'd rather run their business than configure software.
Make It Real
Helping vibe coders get their AI-built apps from preview to production.
LightMaster
The operating system for holiday lighting companies. CRM, scheduling, quoting — the works.
Pawcaso
AI pet portraits. Monet, Van Gogh, Dalí — but for your dog.
What I can do
Ship your idea — fast
I take products from zero to live in weeks, not months. I use agentic workflows and modern AI tooling to move at a pace that surprises people. If you've got something that needs to exist, I can make it real.
AI that actually works
Not chatbots for the sake of chatbots. I build custom AI agents that handle real work — customer ops, data pipelines, internal tooling, business automation. The kind of stuff that quietly saves your team hundreds of hours.
Level up your team
I train engineers to work with AI, not around it. How to use LLMs to write better code faster, debug instantly, and think in systems instead of tickets. Teams I've trained typically see output triple within a month.
Automate your business
Think of it as your last hire. I embed across your entire operation — sales, ops, support, finance — and find every place where AI can replace busywork with systems that run themselves. Not a one-off chatbot. A full-stack AI officer who understands your business end to end and builds the automation layer you didn't know you were missing.
Fractional CTO
Need senior technical leadership without the full-time commitment? I've designed systems that scale to millions of users. I can help you make the hard architecture decisions, build the right foundation, and avoid the technical debt that kills startups.
How I work
I usually start with a conversation. No pitch decks, no scoping documents — just a real talk about what you're trying to do and what's in the way.
From there, I move fast. I prototype quickly, share early, and iterate based on what we learn together. I'd rather ship something real in a week than spend a month perfecting a plan.
I'm not for everyone. If you need a big team and a 40-page SOW, that's not me. But if you want someone who cares about the outcome as much as you do and can actually build the thing — let's talk.
Let's talk
The best projects start with a 15-minute call. No pressure, no pitch — just two people figuring out if there's a fit.
