I'm the cofounder and lead engineer at Aplos AI, a US-based agency that builds custom software, API integrations, and AI-powered workflow automation for small and mid-size service businesses. Since founding the company in 2024, I've designed and deployed automation systems across 40+ industries including HVAC, legal, dental, real estate, and accounting, typically saving clients 15-25 hours per week on administrative tasks like invoicing, lead follow-up, and appointment scheduling. My builds use custom-engineered integrations with fixed-price delivery in 1-2 weeks. Prior to Aplos AI, I worked in enterprise technology infrastructure. I write about SMB automation economics, AI agent implementation, and tool comparison analysis at aplosai.com/blog.
