A real consulting session from start to finish. Hermes setup, personality design, product catalog integration, and voice messaging on a cheap VPS.
Hi, I'm Marius
AI Automation Consultant and Web Developer for Small Businesses
I help business owners find the right tool for the job, and when it doesn't exist yet, I build it. We start with how you actually work, then pick what fits: an existing tool, an automation, or something custom.
How I work
I'm a one-person shop, so I take on a limited number of projects. I keep 2 active projects at a time. When those are gone, you go on a waitlist, and I'll tell you when a slot opens up.
1. We talk
Tell me what you're trying to do, why, and how you handle it today. My job is asking the right questions and turning a fuzzy idea into a concrete plan.
2. We get clarity: build or buy
I look at it straight. Is a custom tool actually worth it here, or does an existing one do the job better and cheaper? Either way you walk out with a clear spec, and you decide: build it with me, or take it elsewhere.
3. I build it, you use it
If building makes sense, I build it, hand it over, and show you how it works. Want it maintained after? I can do that too.
What I do
Latest from the blog
I build things and write down how. Real walkthroughs, setup guides, and the odd strong opinion. No fluff, nothing written by a robot.

Most small businesses pay monthly for a website they don't own. Here's how static sites and Git-based tools flip that model.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of projects do you take on?
Mostly custom tools, web apps, AI automations, and websites for small businesses. If you have a clear problem but no obvious off-the-shelf tool, that's usually a good fit.
How does a project usually start?
We start with a call. You explain what you're trying to do and how things work today. From there we figure out whether custom software is worth it, or if an existing tool is the better move.
Do you only work on AI projects?
No. AI is one part of what I do, but a lot of projects are plain custom software or websites. I'll tell you honestly if AI isn't the right answer.
How many projects do you take at once?
I keep two active builds at a time so each client gets proper attention. When both slots are full, new enquiries go on a short waitlist.
Can you maintain the tool after launch?
Yes. Some clients only need a handover; others want ongoing fixes and small improvements. We can agree that upfront once the first version is live.
Where are you based?
I live in the Netherlands. I take projects remotely.
My favourite tools
Testing and building tools is what I do for fun. I keep a directory of the software I actually use, and a second list of AI skills. Agents should read /skills.
