You're still doing this stuff by hand?
I build AI systems that take over the repetitive work your team dreads — lead intake, reporting, scheduling, follow-up. The stuff that eats hours but doesn't require a human brain.
You know AI matters. You just don't have time to figure it out.
There's a new tool every week. A new platform. A new “game-changing” demo that some guy on LinkedIn is losing his mind over. Meanwhile your team is quietly messing around with ChatGPT, your competitors are talking a big game, and you're stuck wondering what any of this actually means for your business.
You've probably tried a thing or two. Maybe hired someone who built something that nobody ended up using. Here's the thing nobody talks about — the gap between “AI is incredible” and “AI is actually working in my business” is enormous. Way bigger than the demos make it look.
You don't need more information. You need someone who builds real systems and can tell you exactly where AI fits into your operations — and where it doesn't.
David Flynn
I've been writing software for about ten years. Data pipelines, integrations, the kind of backend work that's impossible to explain at a dinner party.
These days it's all AI. Not the “let's explore possibilities” kind — the kind where a business needs something built and running by next week.
I have my own products (HomeOps, Fatherly, zipIQ). I build them on the same stack I'd use for your stuff. That's not an accident. Staying in the weeds on my own projects means I'm not figuring things out on your time.
Based in Nashville. I tend to work like a co-founder — I'll tell you when I think you're wrong, I'll move fast, and I'll always rather have something live than something in a slide deck.
What People Say
“I sent David a Loom of a bug at 9pm. It was fixed and deployed before I woke up. We have a complex operation with hundreds of tasks and team members — he's the only dev I've worked with who actually digs in instead of giving me a timeline and a quote.”
Jeremy H.
Founder, Onyx Construction
“David works like a technical co-founder, not a contractor. He's deep in the code, understands the product, and will push back when something should be done differently. That's genuinely hard to find.”
Darren C.
Co-Founder, Gameplan
“Most developers build what you tell them to. David built what we actually needed — which was different. He understood our distribution network, the compliance angle, and designed the product around how our clients really operate.”
Rathi
Founder, SubOps
“Polished, professional, done fast — and at a fraction of what agencies quoted. David just gets it done.”
Jordan B.
Founder, Mt. Gaines Rock
“I didn't know where to start with AI. David came in, mapped out exactly where the leverage was, and we had something working within two weeks. No fluff, no bloated project plan.”

Owner, Radon1

What I build
Everything ships production-ready. If it doesn't work in your actual business, it doesn't ship.
AI Workflow Automation
The boring stuff that eats your team's day — lead intake, quoting, reporting, scheduling — running on autopilot. No babysitting required.
Custom AI Agents
Not chatbots. Actual systems that read documents, make decisions, and take action on your behalf. Think of them as employees that don't sleep.
Tool Integration
Your CRM, email, calendar, and databases talking to each other instead of your team copy-pasting between twelve tabs.
AI Strategy & Roadmapping
A prioritized list of what to build, what to buy off the shelf, and — just as important — what to ignore entirely.
Team Enablement
Custom Claude and GPT skill files, SOPs, and workflows your team will actually use. Not a lunch-and-learn they forget by Friday.
Ongoing AI Operations
Monthly retainer with a shared backlog. I build what matters most, you stay focused on running the business.
How I operate
Ship fast, iterate faster
First working system in weeks, not months. You'll have something live before you have time to wonder if this was a good idea.
No black boxes
You'll know what I built, why I built it that way, and how to hand it off if we part ways. Nothing held hostage. Ever.
Fire me anytime
No long contracts. If the ROI isn't obvious, we shake hands. I'd rather earn the next month than lock you into it.
Builder, not advisor
I don't hand you a PDF and wish you luck. I build the thing, put it in production, and make sure it actually works in your day-to-day.
Is this a fit?
We'll work well together if:
- You have a real business with real revenue (not a side project)
- Your team is losing hours every week to stuff that shouldn't require a human
- You care more about working AI than impressive demos
- You'd rather ship something next week than plan something for six months
Probably not a fit if:
- ×You want a chatbot just to say you have one
- ×You need a dev team manager — I work solo or alongside your existing team
- ×You're shopping for the cheapest option (you'll find one, and you'll regret it)
- ×You want a six-month discovery phase before a single thing goes live
Let's figure out what's worth building.
The AI Audit takes two weeks. You'll walk away with a clear roadmap and know exactly what to do first — and what's not worth doing at all.
