Software, street smarts,
and a screwdriver.

AI Counselting

Sibling work to practical.works. AI pilots in 4 days, not 4 months — built around your real workflows, not a vendor demo. Scoped tight, shipped fast.

“Alan turned three of our messy spreadsheets into one tool the team actually uses.” — Maria, ops lead

Fractional CTO

Early-stage technical leadership without the full-time cost. Architecture calls, hiring help, vendor sanity, code reviews. Castaway Labs, Standby — a decade of shipping software for small teams.

“He kept us out of three expensive mistakes in the first month.” — Founder, Castaway Labs

STR Management & Co-Hosting

Vacation-rental operations that don't fall apart on a Saturday night. Listing setup, pricing, guest comms, turnovers, the small repairs that keep ratings up. Breezy Keys + TurnWrk + Airbnb verified co-host.

Home Investment Counselting

You're looking at a property and want a second pair of eyes. Operational guidance on renovations, rentability, GC selection, scope-vs-budget — not investment advice. Helpful before you sign anything.

“Saved us from a foundation problem we never would have caught.” — First-time investor, Tampa

Project Counselting

You have a home project and need someone who's seen it before. Scoping, GC selection, punch lists, what to fight about and what to let go. Not the guy with the toolbox — the guy who tells you which guy with the toolbox to hire.

“Our reno bid dropped $12k after one call with Alan.” — Homeowner, St. Pete
