The busywork that quietly eats your week

Most small businesses don't need “an AI strategy.” They need hours back from the work nobody likes doing. These are the usual suspects.

Quotes and invoices typed by hand

The same details re-keyed from email to estimate to invoice to the books. Automate the hand-offs and the typos go with them.

Leads that slip through the cracks

Web forms, calls, and texts nobody answers in time. Capture, sort, and follow up on every one, fast.

Scheduling and dispatch by phone

Jobs, crews, and appointments juggled in someone's head. Let software propose the day; you approve it.

The same customer questions, every day

Hours, prices, order status. An assistant that answers from your own information and hands off to a person when it should.

Spreadsheets nobody trusts

Numbers copied between files until no one knows which one is right. One clean source, and reports that build themselves.

“We tried ChatGPT and it didn’t stick”

A generic tool doesn't know your business. Fitted to your workflow and your data, the same AI becomes genuinely useful.

How it works

From a conversation to results you can measure

Four steps, no jargon. We only build what clearly pays for itself.

  1. 01

    Free discovery call

    30 minutes to learn your business and where the hours go.

  2. 02

    Process review

    On-site or remote, we map how work actually flows and where it leaks.

  3. 03

    AI roadmap

    Two or three prioritized opportunities, each with effort, cost, and payoff.

  4. 04

    Build & train

    We implement, train your team, and measure the result against today.

Your tools, not new ones.

We work inside what you already use (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, QuickBooks, your CRM) instead of making you switch.

Why personalized

Generic AI doesn't know your business. We take the time to.

The tools are everywhere. What's missing is someone who understands your context well enough to know where they help, and where they don't.

Context first

We start with how your business runs (your customers, your team, your margins), not with a tool looking for a problem.

Real depth behind the advice

Founder-led by a PhD in operations research who has built AI and optimization systems for banks, insurers, and logistics fleets. The same rigor, sized for you.

Local, and in person

Based in Kennesaw. Happy to sit down at your shop or office across Cobb County and metro Atlanta, and remote anywhere in the US.

Research & publications

PhD in Operations Research from ITA and Universidade Federal de São Paulo (plus a BSTech in Computational Mathematics). His doctoral work produced SIROM — a sampling-based robust optimization method that matched or beat the literature in 92.5% of cases — a distance-geometry method for 2D target location under uncertainty, and “Hardness,” a robustness measure for solutions under uncertain parameters. Every BIS engagement is built on that foundation: science, not model wrappers.

Selected publications

  • A sampling-based multi-objective iterative robust optimization method for the Bandwidth Packing Problem
  • Target location by a wireless sensor network from interval distances
  • Forecast UTI: predicting intensive-care-unit beds during the COVID-19 pandemic
  • A heuristic method for optimization under uncertainty based on Monte Carlo simulation
  • Efficient frontier of credit risk using Monte Carlo simulation

I had the opportunity to work with Renan for several years, first as my team lead and later as my manager, and I can confidently say he was one of the best leaders I have ever worked with. Even in complex situations, he stays calm, absorbs the weight of the problem, and guides the team with clarity toward the best solution.
