AI automation for the companies that run North Carolina — not the Fortune 500.
AI agents and automation systems for mid-market manufacturers, contractors, and independent medical practices — built in Charlotte, deployed inside real operations. Not a strategy deck. Working systems your team actually uses.

The AI wave is skipping the businesses doing the actual work. That gap is your opening.
Manufacturers, contractors, and independent practices share the same shape: real volume, thin margins, and workflows held together by re-keyed data and one person who "just knows." The vendors aren't building for you — the tools assume an IT department you don't have. That's the work I do.
manufacturing jobs in North Carolina — food processing employs the most.
Charlotte's rank on Realtor.com's 2026 list of top U.S. metros for new construction — one of three North Carolina metros in the top 10.
of a physician's office day goes to EHR and desk work — 27% goes to patients.
Closer to home: Charlotte small business statistics, including how many of the region's small employers have 20 to 499 people.
The AI vendors are building for plants with an IT department. Yours runs on a plant manager and a spreadsheet.
Where it leaks
- Quoting lives in one estimator's head — when they're out, quotes wait
- Production scheduling happens on a whiteboard that's wrong by 10am
- Food-safety and compliance paperwork eats hours that should run the line
- What's on the floor never matches what the system says
What I build
Quote-to-cash automation, scheduling assistants wired into your ERP, paperwork agents that fill the compliance forms from data you already have, and inventory reconciliation that closes the floor-to-system gap.
MCP server + AI agent tooling in production for a mid-market reverse logistics-tech company — used daily by internal teams for inventory workflows.
Manufacturing back-office automation — every leak, every build →
Wake and Mecklenburg added 240,000+ people since 2020. The work isn't slowing down. Your back office is the constraint.
Where it leaks
- Estimating eats your most senior people's evenings
- Submittals, RFIs, and change orders get re-keyed at every hop
- Field data — photos, T&M tickets, daily logs — dies in text threads
- AR follow-up happens when someone remembers
What I build
Estimating assistants that draft takeoffs from plans, agents that route submittals and RFIs instead of letting them age, field-capture that lands in your office systems without re-typing, and AR chasers that never forget.
14 field and back-office applications built for a multi-brand field-services group — finance automation alone recovered 18 hrs/week.
Nearly two hours of paperwork for every hour of care. The hospital systems have armies for this. Your practice has a front desk.
Where it leaks
- Prior auth is a part-time job stapled to every clinical role
- Intake and scheduling run on phone tag and voicemail
- Documentation and coding pile up after close
- Five point-solution tools, and staff still carry the workflow between them
What I build
Prior-auth orchestration that drafts, submits, and tracks instead of just templating, intake automation that fills the schedule without the phone tag, and document agents built around your compliance requirements — one system, not a sixth tool.
Forensic data-quality and integrity work at top-five-U.S.-bank scale; agent systems in daily production use at a mid-market reverse logistics-tech company.
Medical practice workflow automation — prior auth to intake →
One week. Fixed price. Your three biggest leaks, quantified.
Every engagement starts the same way regardless of industry: a one-week, $4,500 operations audit. I sit with your team, map where time and money leak out of the workflow, and hand you a build roadmap ranked by ROI. The fee is credited toward the first build — and if the audit doesn't surface savings worth more than its cost, you don't pay.

Want the detail behind the proof lines above? Each one is a case study you can read before we talk.
Built for mid-market operators — not the Fortune 500, not a two-person shop.
A fit if you're…
- A North Carolina manufacturer, contractor, or practice doing $3M–$50M
- Running real volume on manual or spreadsheet-driven workflows
- More orders, projects, or patients than headcount — and no room to hire
- An owner, ops lead, or practice manager who can act on a plan
Not a fit if…
- You already have an internal engineering team solving this
- You want a tool recommendation, not a look at your actual process
- You're pre-revenue or just exploring “AI” with no real bottleneck yet
- You want a name-brand firm for the board's comfort. This is a small, senior practice, not a logo
Start smaller
Where's the busywork? One hour, $300, credited in full.
Before a week-long audit: one hour on a call with you and whoever runs the spreadsheets. We walk the way work moves through your business, name the leak worth fixing first, and you leave with a written list of what to fix, in order. Yours to act on with anyone.
The $300 is invoiced before the hour and comes off the $4,500 operations audit or an agent's first month in full. Book the 15-minute call first: it sets the hour and the invoice.
The 15-minute call itself is free.
A note from Nick
From one operator to another.
If the work keeps outgrowing your team, your team is doing something right. The busywork grew with it, and that part can be fixed.
Before I wrote code, I built a sales company with 120+ reps on contract and 77 consistent producers. It taught me that a system only pays off when the people doing the work actually use it, so I build for the person who runs it every day, not for the demo.
We start by asking your team for their advice: where the week really goes, and what they'd fix first. The plan comes out of their answers, so it's already theirs when it ships.
