Do you work with non-technical clients?

Yes. Most of the work is for bar and restaurant owners who don't write code. I scope, build, and ship - you get a working tool and a screen recording of how to use it.

How fast can you ship?

Days, not weeks. Most builds are a single session - MVP to production in one Friday. I run my own bars so I know what 'good enough to ship' looks like.

Do you do Shift4 POS integrations?

Yes. I built Shift4Scraper for Thirsty Aztec - daily transaction emails, Telegram alerts, anomaly detection. Same tooling deploys for other Shift4 venues in San Antonio.

Do you only work with bars and restaurants?

Hospitality is the sweet spot, but I also ship trading bots, marketing automation, Telegram bots, AI agents, lead-gen scrapers, and WebAR. The Arsenal page lists every tool I use.

$75 to $125 per hour, billed against scoped projects. No retainers, no monthly minimums. I quote each build up-front by the role-equivalent hours (senior dev / DevOps / DBA).

Do you maintain what you build?

Yes. Every project I ship runs on my infrastructure or a VPS I set up. I keep things alive, patch when needed, and the build log at /masterlog tracks every session of maintenance.

San Antonio, Texas. Operate venues on the Riverwalk (Thirsty Aztec, Alamo Ice Bar, Candy Shop). On-site for SA hospitality work, remote everywhere else.
