Tyler Young · software, AI & tech help
Text (315) 333-0868
Hi, I'm Tyler.

The software_guy for businesses around Wayne County.

I'm a software engineer living in Walworth, and I do the whole tech side for local businesses: custom software and apps, automations that kill busywork, AI set up so it actually helps, websites that bring in customers, and through my repair shop, the hardware too. If a computer should be doing something for you and isn't, that's my department.

Text me about the audit How the $500 audit works

No jargon. No subscriptions you don't need. If something's not worth paying for, I'll tell you.

What I do

One local person for the whole tech side

Most places make you choose: a web guy, an automation tool, an AI consultant from the internet, a repair shop. Around here, I'm all of them, and I'll tell you which one you actually need.

Custom software & apps

Job trackers, quoting tools, customer portals, dashboards. Built for exactly how your business works, owned by you, no monthly per-seat ransom.

Scoped & quoted

Automation & integrations

Quotes that follow themselves up. Forms that fill your spreadsheet. Invoices that chase themselves. Your tools finally talking to each other.

$500 – $5,000 fixed

AI, set up right

Drafting quotes and emails, summarizing documents, pulling data out of paperwork, answering routine questions. Loaded with your prices and your voice, with a clear line on what data goes where.

Included in most projects

Websites & getting found

Fast, phone-first sites built so Google and AI assistants (ChatGPT and friends) can actually read your services, prices, and area. Leads go straight to your phone.

Scoped & quoted

Hands-on & hardware

Computers, phones, consoles, Wi-Fi, smart tech: I fix the machines themselves through my repair shop, The Circuit Barn. Software guy and hardware guy, same person.

Repair pricing at the Barn

Ongoing support

I keep everything running, tune it as your business changes, and answer the "hey, quick question" texts. One local person who knows your whole setup.

From $300/month

Prefer to keep it simple? I also work hourly at $125/hr for training, troubleshooting, and work sessions that don't fit a fixed quote. For anything long-term, the monthly retainer is the better deal, and I'll tell you when you'd be overpaying hourly.

Where every project starts

The Half-Day Tech & AI Audit

  1. I watch how your business actually runs for half a day: from the phone ringing to getting paid.
  2. You get a short written plan: the three places software, AI, or better tools make you the most time or money, with a fixed price on each.
  3. I set up the first fix before I leave: a working improvement the same day, not a slide deck.
$500 flat
The guarantee If I can't find you at least 10 hours a month of real savings, the audit is free. You risk an afternoon, not a check.
Proof, not promises

Things I've actually built

Building AI systems for businesses is my day job — I do it professionally for an engineering services firm (described generally here out of respect for them), and on my own products. This is the same kind of work I bring to your shop, at your scale.

Production AI · professional work

AI paperwork checker

When new work orders arrive, AI reads the submitted documents, photos, and forms and checks whether anything's missing — then drafts one tidy request for the rest. A person approves everything before it goes out.

  • Catches incomplete paperwork on day one, not day ten
  • Nothing is ever sent without human sign-off
  • Tuned until it knew when to stay quiet
Production AI · professional work

Ask your data plain questions

A chat where staff ask things like "which jobs ran late last month and why?" in plain English and get real answers computed from the company's live data — no reports to build, no analyst to wait on.

  • Answers match how the business defines its numbers
  • Read-only and guard-railed by design
  • Follow-up questions keep their context
Production AI · professional work

Customer updates that write themselves

Replaced vague statuses like "In Progress" with plain-language updates generated from what's actually happening on the job — what's done, what's blocked, and what's being waited on.

  • Customers stop calling to ask "where's my order?"
  • Only customer-appropriate info can enter the update
  • If the AI ever fails, the page still works
Production AI · professional work

AI quality control

An AI review pass that checks engineering documents for code-compliance issues and internal contradictions before a human ever reviews them — and lets outside contractors self-check their work before submitting it.

  • Catches defects at the cheapest possible point
  • Human reviewers see cleaner work, faster
Data analysis · professional work

Finding where the time really goes

Dug through tens of thousands of work orders to find where turnaround time was actually lost — waiting versus working — and added completion-time predictions to live jobs based on similar past ones.

  • Overturned the company's assumption about its bottleneck
  • Flags jobs running past their expected window
My own product

Restock Radar

An inventory app for online stores that predicts when each product runs out and emails the owner what to reorder, how many, and by what date, before the shelf goes empty.

  • Sales forecasting engine, built from scratch
  • Daily alerts with dollar impact
  • Designed, built, and shipped solo

How I build with AI, everywhere: a person approves anything customer-facing, sensitive data is walled off by structure rather than by hoping, and every feature gets measured against "did this actually help" — one got rebuilt when its own data said no.

Getting started

Three steps, no commitment

1

Text or call

Tell me what kind of business you run. Fifteen minutes on the phone and I'll tell you honestly whether an audit is worth it.

2

The half-day audit

I come to you. You keep working; I watch, ask questions, take notes. You get the plan that evening, and one fix is already live.

3

You choose

The plan has fixed prices. Do them yourself, hire anyone you want, or have me build them. No pressure either way.

Who you're dealing with

Local engineer, plain answers

I write software for a living and live right here in Walworth. I started doing this because every owner I talk to is being told they "need AI" by someone trying to sell them something, and nobody local will just look at their actual week and say: here's what's worth doing, here's what isn't, here's what it costs.

So that's the service. An engineer you can text, who shows up in person, and who tells you the truth about technology, including when the answer is "don't buy anything."

P.S. Yes, I'm also the repair guy behind The Circuit Barn. Around here it helps to be handy with the machines and the software.

Fair questions, straight answers

We're not a "techy" business.

Perfect. The biggest wins are always in the least techy shops. If you use a phone and send invoices, there's something worth fixing.

We already have an IT guy.

Keep him. I don't compete with printers-and-passwords support; I build the stuff nobody's IT guy builds. Happy to work alongside him.

What about our customer data?

Before anything is set up, we go through exactly what data goes where, in plain English. Plenty of my fixes don't touch AI or the cloud at all.

Fifteen minutes. Worst case, you learn something.

Text me what kind of business you run and I'll reply with one specific idea for it, free, before you spend a dime.
