Indianapolis, Indiana
AI systems for real businesses, built on 27 years of web and IT work.
I build AI systems that run inside real businesses: phone agents that answered 1,700+ calls and booked 133 appointments for a two-state roofing company, back-office automation for the same client, and local models on hardware I own. The AI is the new part. The rest is 27 years of sitting with business owners, learning how their work actually runs, and keeping their systems up. I ran my own IT and web company for nearly 13 years, built the Indiana National Guard's public sites as a cleared contractor, and co-founded an AI startup as its CTO. Industries I know from the inside: roofing and insurance claims, home builders and contractors, medical offices, retail, country clubs and government. The full record, back to the Flash sites I sold in high school, is below.
Twenty-seven years of the same loop: listen to a business, build the thing, keep it running, answer the phone when it breaks. That loop is exactly what AI systems need wrapped around them now. These are the lanes where the record above says I would do well, with the evidence for each.
1,000+ on-site visits and a 45 minute median reply time. The job is sitting with a customer, finding the real workflow and shipping something that runs in their building on Monday. I have done that for 13 years without the AI part, and for the last two with it.
VAPI, Retell AI, Twilio and CallRail in production, plus Whisper and Kokoro running locally. Small businesses live on the phone. An agent that books, qualifies and hands off to a human is the first AI most of them will ever buy, and I have already built and sold them.
vLLM, llama.cpp, K3s, Traefik, Tailscale and Docker on hardware I own and maintain. Clinics, law offices and contractors want the model inside their own walls. That is a hosting and networking job first, which is where I started.
MCP servers, RAG and three model vendors on top of WordPress, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, PostgreSQL and MySQL. Most value is in bolting AI onto the stack a business already paid for, not replacing it. I know both ends.
Built the Indiana National Guard's public sites as a cleared contractor and kept a medical practice's remote access running. AI projects in those settings are mostly about data boundaries, hosting and documentation, which is the IT half of this page.
ComfyUI, Blender, Unreal Engine 5, drone video and a design career that started in Flash. Generated images, 3D and video need someone who can judge the output and fix it by hand. Smaller market, strong fit.
Written as a partnership, not a hand-off. The tools write code and answer questions. Somebody still has to know the client, own the outcome and be reachable.
Where I would not lead: model research and training from scratch, and pure software engineering teams that never meet a customer. The record is applied, not academic.
Aerial and FPV video shot, edited and color graded by me. Short highlights below; the full cuts are on my YouTube channel.
Co-founded a fractional AI services company and owned its architecture, delivery and technology spend. Embedded with client owners and staff to scope, prototype and ship AI automation.
AI Implemented Inc
Problem. Show what open-source models can do when builders compete head to head, with no paid APIs allowed.
What I did.
Outcome. 941 visitors and 25 registrations from 52 countries in the first weeks, before I cancelled the event ahead of the start.
Superior One Roofing
Problem. Leads, insurance claim paperwork and sales follow-up all ran on manual effort.
What I did.
Outcome. About 80,000 lines of Node.js across 42 services, running in production.
Screens rendered from the production code with made-up data.
Superior One Roofing, Florida and Texas
Problem. Callers were hanging up before anyone could book them.
What I did.
Outcome. 1,736 connected inbound calls in the call export from 10/30/2025 to 02/28/2026, and 133 appointments booked by the AI on live calls. 239 callers were handed live to staff, and 150+ after-hours calls were covered.
Screens rendered from the production code with made-up callers and 555 numbers. Calls are my own test calls; my number is bleeped.
MSHI, Florida roofing inspections
Problem. Inspection reports were slow and manual.
What I did.
AI Implemented Inc
What I did.
AI Implemented
Problem. Cloud inference costs and vendor lock-in for internal and research workloads.
What I did.
Self-funded work on my own GPUs. Every project since 2024 is built agent-first, with Claude Code as the main build tool since 2025.
Problem. A contact console for the night sky that runs on any phone with no account, no backend and nothing tracked.
What I did.
Outcome. Live on GitHub Pages.
Problem. Could an AI agent build a real game end to end, with units that hear spoken orders?
What I did.
Kind Technology Solutions
Problem. I wanted the AI receptionist I sell, without paying per minute for cloud inference.
What I did.
Outcome. It answers the company line today.
Problem. Hundreds of open-source AI models, one GPU budget, and no sane way to install, launch and switch between them.
What I did.
In December 2013 I bought a one-man Fishers IT shop and ran it as my own: web development, hosting, server administration and IT consulting for small and mid-size businesses around Indianapolis. Most client relationships run past ten years, nearly all from referrals. Since 2024 the same clients get AI automation.
My own company
Problem. The old WordPress site drew 74 percent attack traffic, the contact form had never delivered a lead, and the pages did not talk about the AI work.
What I did.
Outcome. Live at kindtechsolutions.com; attacks bounce, leads arrive.
My own company
Problem. Roofers lose jobs to unanswered phones; I needed one page that proves it and sells the fix.
What I did.
Outcome. Deployed to kindtechsolutions.com/roofing.html.
Open source
What I did.
Audio installers, contractors, a research firm, a ticketing startup, a painting company and others
What I did.
Casual Elegance Designs by Tina
What I did.
ShadowGraphix, Indianapolis
Problem. A busy production shop needed its network, PCs, backups, email and website kept running and modernized.
What I did.
Outcome. A faster, more reliable shop and a new site, relaunched in March 2026.
Mike O'Brian CPA
What I did.
River Glen Country Club, Fishers
Problem. The club's site still ran on Flash and ColdFusion in 2019, which phones could not display and the host was about to drop.
What I did.
Independent Coverage Solutions
What I did.
AV Electronics, Frankfort, Indiana
What I did.
MRO Supply
Problem. A distributor moving off Fishbowl Inventory onto a new business system with a hard year-end go-live date, and years of messy history to carry over.
What I did.
Outcome. History, counts and vendors carried into the new system for the year-end switch.
Chris Jones Realty
What I did.
1001 & 4530 Properties
What I did.
A new day spa and a community video contest
What I did.
White's Ace Hardware and Garden Center
Problem. Three stores full of registers, printers, scanners, email and Wi-Fi, and no one on staff who owned any of it.
What I did.
Outcome. Twelve years of uptime for three stores and a documented handoff. About 1,250 email threads with this one client.
Form + Function
What I did.
Aqua Serene Wellness
What I did.
York's Quality Air, DECA Financial Services, Quality Living Solutions, Focus Forward, Black Orchid Barbers
What I did.
Diversified Sales Group
Problem. A static brochure site that no one could update and that did not show the product lines they represented.
What I did.
The live site is the build as it has run since 2022; the 2015 link is the first build (its home content did not survive the restore).
My own company
What I did.
White's Ace Hardware and Garden Center
Problem. The stores' original PHP site had no CMS; every change, even grill-class schedules, needed a developer.
What I did.
Cleaned up for this archived copy; the 2018 rebuild moved the site to WordPress with Wordfence.
Xanderbuilt Tree Care
What I did.
Outcome. The site's forms brought in 268 requests across 2019 and 2020, 176 of them estimate requests, counted from the office mailbox.
An event planner, a tai chi studio, a painting contractor and about thirty households and small offices
What I did.
Homes by Rex Brown
Problem. A builder needed a site that showed new homes and lots and could be updated without a developer every time.
What I did.
Outcome. Still the company's site in 2025; closed out with the business in 2026.
Medical practice, Indianapolis
Problem. A doctor who dictates everything: when Windows 10 broke speech recognition, the practice stopped.
What I did.
1 & Only Fitness, Indy Boomer
What I did.
Outcome. The magazine site, one month in 2015: 609 sessions and 1,221 page views (Google Analytics).
Bullseye Event Group
Problem. A ticket broker whose sales depend on one chain staying up: the box-office program, an auto-processor, the Ticket Evolution exchange, StubHub and their own website. When any link broke, inventory stopped showing and sales stopped.
What I did.
Outcome. An eleven-year relationship; the sales chain stayed up through outages and platform changes.
MDG Salons
Problem. A salon group with internet drops at the front desk, printers that vanished, guests on the same Wi-Fi as the registers, and a site no one could update.
What I did.
Outcome. November 2014: 582 visits with 2:13 average time on site (Google Analytics report).
Kind Technology Solutions, Fishers, Indiana
Problem. I wanted my own book of business instead of a job, and a local IT shop with existing residential and small-office customers was for sale.
What I did.
Outcome. The company I still run.
Off the clock and sometimes on it: a day-one Oculus backer, founder of an Indianapolis VR meetup and of a MultiGP drone racing chapter, an FAA Part 107 commercial drone pilot since 2019, and still building race-day tools.
Problem. Running a digital FPV race means juggling goggles, a video box, channels and a race timer with no single screen that shows it all.
What I did.
Version 1 runs on my own box; the code is in a private repository.
What I did.
What I did.
What I did.
Outcome. 174 pilots joined the chapter I started from nothing.

The Secret Ingredient
What I did.

What I did.
Tetrasolv Filtration, with Stephanie Simmons Design
What I did.
Circle City Eats, Indianapolis
What I did.
Digitech Custom Audio and Video, Carmel, Indiana
Problem. A growing install business with no technical policies, a dated web presence and marketing done by hand.
What I did.
Outcome. Lower costs and new revenue from the web; the role turned into my own company at the end of 2013. A 30-day search ad push in 2015 that I ran and reported on brought 205 site visits, 9 conversions and 7 phone calls.
Brown & Brown of Indiana
Problem. An insurance agency with three member-facing sites wanted to be found for the coverage it sold.
What I did.
Screenshot rendered from my own 2013 backup copy of the site.
Kitchens by Design, Indianapolis
Problem. An award-winning kitchen, bath and interior design firm needed a site that looked as polished as its showroom.
What I did.
Outcome. The site carried the firm's Showroom of the Year awards and design gallery for years.
Rebuilt from Internet Archive captures of kitchensbydesign.net, January 2012.
Web Developer with Quantum Dynamics, Inc. on contract to the Indiana National Guard, in a cleared contractor position.
Indiana National Guard, via Quantum Dynamics, Inc.
Problem. Dozens of legacy hand-coded HTML sites, no central publishing, and every page bound by Department of Defense and Army web policy.
What I did.
Outcome. One CMS, one approval chain, and staff publishing their own content.
Rebuilt from Internet Archive captures: each site's home page and about ten inner pages survived, some images and styles did not, so the Muscatatuck menu shows fully expanded. Links to pages that were never archived are switched off.
By February 2001 I had a CD portfolio of client work: Flash intros, CD business cards, site mockups and live sites for travel, aviation, auto, real estate and promotion companies around Indianapolis. Then Lead Web Developer and Creative Director at Vocis Design Group downtown, plus Indy Associates, Plan B Marketing, CTW Electrical, Indy ICE and my own shop, Kind Solutions. More than 25 client sites delivered.
C.T.W. Electrical Co, Inc., Greenwood, Indiana, industrial and transportation wiring products

Each site recorded as a whole page at its real pixel size, with its sound and the fonts it was designed with, the full intros for Netisun and the Indiana Heart Hospital first, then the BLS Construction loader, then one highlight per site. Each plays inside a browser of its year, Internet Explorer on Windows 98 or XP, or a Mac on OS 9 or OS X. A few small movies are scaled up to fill the window, aspect ratio kept; the rest play at their real size. The working sites are further down the page; the 2001 portfolio CD has its own gallery and reel.
Download: widescreen, square for social, poster image.
