🚨 AI Without The Chaos

About

I build tools that should exist but don't. MakerMargin started because, as a hobby maker, we run real businesses without a clear picture of whether we're actually making money. The tools didn't exist. So I built one. That's the pattern. I find the gap between what a business needs and what's available, and I close it with AI tools built around how that business actually works. Always from personal experience. Always from my own pain points first. Founder of VibeAlign — AI implementation for independent business owners. Also behind Vixta Voice (AI receptionist for service-based businesses) and SUDSync (behavioral health compliance tools). MSW background. 16 years in systems that fail the people doing the work. Now I build systems that don't.
