Independent software studio

Software, built and shipped.

I take on one-off, contract builds for individuals and businesses — scoped, quoted, and delivered as working software. No retainers, no agency layers, no open-ended hourly. Just the thing you need, done.

Fixed scope. Fixed price. You own the code from day one.

What I build

The work, scoped as one clean deliverable.

Whatever the shape of the problem, the deal is the same: we agree on what "done" means up front, and I ship it.

Web apps & MVPs

From a first working product to a polished app — front to back, deployed and live.

Automation & integrations

Connect the tools you already use and delete the manual, repetitive busywork.

Internal tools & dashboards

Admin panels, reporting, and dashboards that give you a real handle on the data.

APIs & data pipelines

Clean APIs and reliable pipelines that move and transform data without surprises.

Scripts & one-off fixes

A focused job done right: a migration, a scraper, a script, a stubborn bug.

Rescue & finishing

Inherited a half-built or stalled project? I'll get it across the finish line.

How it works

A short path from "I need this" to "it's live."

No discovery theater or endless meetings. Four steps, clear at every stage.

Scope call

A focused conversation about what you need and what success looks like.

Fixed quote

A written scope with a fixed price and timeline. No hourly meter running.

Build & ship

I build it with regular check-ins, then deploy it to where it needs to live.

Handoff

You get the code, the keys, and a clean handover. It's yours, fully.

Why CA Automation

Built to be the low-drama option.

The way contract software should work when one person owns the outcome.

You talk to the builder

No account managers or handoffs. The person scoping it is the person writing it.

Fixed scope, fixed price

You know the cost before work starts. Scope changes are an explicit decision, not a surprise invoice.

Shipped, not just coded

"Done" means deployed and working in the real world — not a repo you have to figure out.

You own everything

Full source, accounts, and documentation handed over. No lock-in, no dependency on me.

Straight communication

Plain updates on progress and trade-offs. If something's a bad idea, I'll say so.

Right-sized for you

Engagements that make sense for individuals and small businesses, not enterprise budgets.

Have something you need built?

Tell me what you're trying to do. I'll come back with whether I can help, a scope, and a fixed price — usually within a day.
