Aroostook AI — I Ship Working AI Systems in 2 Weeks

The Problem

Small businesses are stuck.

AI is production-ready. You know it matters. But every option is broken.

💰

Big firms are too expensive

McKinsey and Deloitte charge $250K+ and take 6 months. Built for Fortune 500, not you.

⚠

Freelancers are unreliable

Cheap on paper, but inconsistent quality, no structure, and key-person risk.

😶

Doing nothing is the default

Most SMBs want AI but don't know where to start. So they wait. And fall behind.

The Solution

The AI Build Sprint

Two weeks. Fixed scope. One real deliverable. Not a roadmap — a working system you can use the day I leave.

⚙ Cut the Paperwork

I find the task that eats your week — data entry, scheduling, invoicing, inventory counts — and build a system that handles it automatically. You get hours back.

📈 Keep Customers Coming Back

AI that spots your best leads, follows up before they go cold, and flags customers you're about to lose. More revenue from the people you already know.

👥 Do More With Fewer People

Can't find workers? I build systems that handle the repetitive stuff so your team focuses on work that actually needs a human. Automation offsets the labor shortage.

What AI Does for Your Business

Real examples. Your industry.

AI isn't science fiction. It's a tool — like a truck or a spreadsheet. Here's what it actually does for businesses like yours.

🌾 Farms & Forestry

Predict potato yield and price trends from weather, soil, and market data — so you plant smarter
Automate harvest scheduling and crew assignments based on field conditions
Track timber inventory and generate cutting plans that maximize value per acre

🚚 Trucking & Logistics

Route optimization that cuts fuel costs and gets drivers home sooner
Predict maintenance needs before breakdowns strand a truck on I-95
Automate dispatch, load matching, and DOT compliance paperwork

🛒 Retail & Restaurants

Know what to stock before you run out — demand forecasting from your own sales data
Automated social media posts and email campaigns that bring customers back
AI chatbot on your website that answers common questions 24/7 so you don't have to

🔨 Trades & Construction

Generate accurate job estimates in minutes instead of hours
Schedule crews and equipment across multiple job sites automatically
Track materials, costs, and change orders without the spreadsheet mess

🏛 Professional Services & Government

Auto-draft reports, meeting summaries, and permit responses from templates
Triage incoming requests and route them to the right person instantly
Search years of records and documents in seconds instead of filing cabinets

🏔 Tourism, Hospitality & Manufacturing

Dynamic pricing for rooms and packages based on demand, events, and season
Automate booking confirmations, guest follow-ups, and review requests
Production scheduling and quality inspection that catches defects before shipping

Beyond the Sprint

When you need more

The Build Sprint is the starting point. Here's what comes next.

Extended Build

Larger implementations over 4–8 weeks. Multi-system integrations, data pipelines, and AI agent workflows.

Retainer

Ongoing fractional AI implementation partner. Monthly cadence, steady progress, prioritized execution.

On-Premise AI Deployment

Proven and running on my own 12-machine AI lab — 8 GPUs, 64GB VRAM, unified API gateway. I deploy AI systems that run entirely on your hardware — your data never leaves your building. One API endpoint, automatic load balancing, zero cloud dependency. Full setup, configuration, and training included.

Team Training

Practical AI workshops for your team. Prompt design, workflow automation, governance basics.

The Aroostook Advantage

Same caliber work. 40–60% lower cost.

I'm based in Aroostook County, Maine — not because it's trendy, but because it's a structural advantage I pass to you.

Lower overhead

Cost of living 50% below Boston. No downtown office lease. Savings go straight to better pricing for you.

Private AI infrastructure

I run a 12-machine AI lab — 8 GPUs, 64GB of VRAM, 84 CPU cores, 258GB RAM, load-balanced inference, embedding models for RAG, all managed through a single API. I built it, I tested it, and I deploy the same architecture for clients. Your data stays on hardware you control.

Direct accountability

I live in the community I serve. My reputation is personal, not institutional. You get the builder, not a brand.

No ivory tower

23 years building software in budget-constrained environments. I understand the reality of running a small business.

Proof of Capability

Describe a workspace and the AI identifies OSHA compliance issues, rates severity, and generates corrective action reports. Pre-analyzed scenarios for machine shops, warehouses, and construction sites.

Self-taught polymath. 23 years building software. The person who scopes your project is the person who builds it.

Founder & Principal

I've been writing code for 23 years — from embedded C++ and systems programming to full-stack web applications and AI/ML. All self-taught. I served in the U.S. Army. I studied electrical engineering, music production, interactive technology, and journalism.

That sounds scattered, but it's the point: I see connections across domains that specialists miss. When I sit with a business owner, I understand their world because I've worked in worlds like it — retail, military, media. I run my own AI infrastructure — GPU servers, local models, the works. I build solutions that work in the real world, not in a lab.
