Bookings, payments, memberships, automations, and the AI underneath. Built around your work, not a template.

Site condition
Then spent three days chasing five tools to make it real. Calendly for the bookings, Stripe for the deposits, Mailchimp for the follow-up, a Notion doc for the intake, the WhatsApp group for everything else.
Your practice already works. People show up because the work is real. The waitlist fills. The retreats sell out.
What doesn't work is the running of it. That's not a strategy problem. It's a build problem.
· What I build for you ·
One native system replaces the six tools you've been duct-taping together. Every piece lives under your own domain.
Multi-offering calendar, pre-session intake forms, preparation sequences, capacity management. Built around how you onboard a student, not a generic calendar widget.

Beneath the floor
Not a chatbot. Not a feature on a marketing page. Your work — your teachings, your past emails, your intake forms, your live recordings — trained into a model that drafts your launches in your voice, answers a student at 3am in the language of your tradition, and keeps learning every time you teach.
You don't see it. Your students feel it.

Explore· The work ·
Different problems, different architectures. Same principle — original work, custom infrastructure.
· How engagements start ·
A voice memo, a Google Doc, a screenshot of your Instagram bio, the WhatsApp thread where you actually explain the work. I research it. I wrap it into a real business — site, bookings, payments, memberships, automations, the AI underneath.
Then I either stay on as your long-term tech, install your digital CEO and step back, or hand you the keys. Whichever fits.
· Three phases ·
I learn your work. I build the platform. I hand you the keys. What happens after launch is a conversation, not a contract.
Nº 01
You tell me what you're building. I learn the methodology, the people you serve, the way you actually teach. If it's a fit, I send a proposal within days.
Nº 02
Custom platform, real code, your brand. You see it come together week by week. Most projects launch in 2–6 weeks.
Nº 03
You own the code, the data, the domain. Whether I stay on after launch is a conversation, not a contract.
Every site is custom-built from scratch. No templates, no themes, no page builders.
You own everything. Code, data, domain. From day one.

· The builder ·
Senior full-stack engineer. Former CTO. Access Bars practitioner. I spent a decade building production systems and leading engineering teams.
Then I moved to Mazunte and started building for the people whose work I respect — teachers, schools, retreat centers, makers. The studio is small on purpose.

No pitch. No pressure. A conversation about what you need and whether I can help.
