Our Story
From Enterprise to AI Automation
With 8+ years of full-stack development experience, we've built production applications on staff at Fortune 500 companies including Eli Lilly and Salesforce, and for mission-driven startups in healthcare and education. Our background spans pharmaceutical web applications, HIPAA-compliant healthcare systems, and SaaS platforms serving thousands of users.
Today, we focus on AI-powered automation systems using OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini APIs. Recent projects include AI verification systems achieving 97% accuracy, automated content and SEO pipelines, and healthcare compliance automation for Medicare billing.
Beyond client work, we build and operate our own web properties: DowntownDry, a nationwide alcohol-free venue directory, and RecycleOldTech.com, an electronics recycling directory that an automated content pipeline took from zero to 85 top-ten rankings and over 10,000 visitors a month in fourteen months.
Our Focus
Building intelligent systems that eliminate manual work and deliver measurable business impact, whether that's automating hours of repetitive tasks, increasing conversion rates, or building platforms that serve millions of users.
Our Process
How We Create Digital Magic
Our process keeps every project focused on a clear outcome, with strategic planning, real craft, and technical precision at each step.
Discovery & Strategy
We start by understanding your business goals, target audience, and where the manual bottlenecks are, then map out a concrete plan.
Design & Development
Katlyn handles the visual and motion work while Adam builds the application with modern, well-tested tools.
Testing & Optimization
We test every part of the build and optimize for performance, usability, and conversion across all devices.
Launch & Growth
We support your launch and keep optimizing so the work keeps paying off as the business grows.
Our Core Values
The Principles That Drive Us
These fundamental values shape our culture, guide our decisions, and define how we approach every client relationship and project.
Innovation
We stay current with new technologies and pick the ones that solve real problems for our clients rather than chasing hype.
Authenticity
We build brand work that reflects who you actually are and speaks plainly to the people you're trying to reach.
Excellence
We sweat the details in every line of code and every client interaction, and hold our deliverables to a high bar.
Collaboration
We work as true partners with our clients, with open communication and clear ownership throughout every project.
Impact
We focus on work that moves real business results: less manual work, higher conversion, fewer errors, faster pages.
Creativity
We approach every challenge with creative thinking and find solutions that fit the problem instead of forcing a template.
