Sound familiar?

If your business runs on sticky notes and good intentions, you're paying for it.

Most local businesses don't have a software problem — they have a system problem. Here's the difference automation makes.

The daily grind without systems

  • Leads slip through the cracks because there's no central inbox
  • You're answering the same customer questions ten times a day
  • Quotes and invoices live in three different apps, none of them talking
  • Follow-ups depend on whether you remember — not whether the system reminds you
  • You end every week behind, even when you worked overtime

The same business with JK Automation

  • One intake form pipes every lead into a tracker you can actually read
  • Auto-replies, email templates, and SMS reminders run while you sleep
  • Your CRM, calendar, and invoicing tools sync without copy-paste
  • Follow-up sequences trigger automatically — nothing falls through
  • You spend Friday closing deals, not catching up on Monday's work
What I build

Three ways I can help.

Business automation for owners who want their time back. Custom music for moments that deserve more than a card. And custom apps, games, and interactive tools — built for businesses, families, creators, anyone with an idea.

Custom apps, games, and tools — built for anyone.

Every one of these started as something I just wanted to build. A form coach. A rhythm game for my family. A simulator of my hometown. A storybook adventure for my own kids. None of them needed a business to make sense. If you can picture an app, a game, a tool, or a one-of-a-kind interactive gift, I can build it — for you, your family, your classroom, your community, or your brand. The ones below are real. Try them.

Interactive Calculator

Try my automation ROI calculator — three questions in, it turns messy inputs into a clear number and a recommendation. That same pattern works for anything you'd want to figure out fast: a savings goal, a mortgage estimate, a fitness target, or a project quote.

FormFix — AI Form Coach

Uses your camera to read body position and joint angles in real time, counting reps and flagging form on squats, planks, and push-ups. Picture it built around your own routine, a sport you're learning, or rehab exercises from your physical therapist — instant feedback, no coach in the room.

Interactive game

Family Finger Danceoff

A rhythm game that builds its beat map from the music itself, then you tap along, pass-and-play, against friends and family. It's loaded with 18 of my own songs. The same game could run on your favorite tracks, your kid's birthday playlist, or your own band's music.

Simulation

Sheridan — Town Simulator

A living, Sims-style simulation of Sheridan, the town I grew up in, where characters take jobs, move into houses, pair up, and react to events as the seasons turn. The same engine could bring your own hometown, a fictional world, a family tree, or a favorite story to life.

One-of-a-kind

Kwolek Storybook Quest

A dice-and-board adventure I made for my two kids, Mallory and JJ, with levels themed around exactly what each of them loves. A personalized game like this makes an unforgettable gift for a child, a memorable party activity, or a keepsake built around someone you love.

The person behind the systems

Built from real work, real pressure, and real care.

The promise behind the work

Built on four principles that never move.

JK Automation started with a frustration every hardworking person knows. There are never enough hours in the day, and too many of them disappear into repetitive tasks that pull you away from the work you actually care about. I started this company to give that time back to the people who earn it the honest way.

I believe how you do business matters just as much as what you deliver. That means telling you the truth about what a system can and cannot do, respecting your time and your budget, and standing behind the work long after the invoice is paid. No confusing jargon. No overselling. No disappearing when you need help. Just honest solutions explained in plain language that anyone can follow.

Behind every system is a real person who treats your business like his own. I learned the value of accuracy, follow-through, and keeping my word in industries where trust is everything, and I carry that same standard into every project I take on. My promise is simple. Do good work, keep my word, and make your day a little easier. That is the whole foundation, and it does not change.

Honesty Integrity Respect Trust
Foundation 18+ years across financial services and technology-driven operations, in compliance-heavy environments where accuracy and follow-through are everything.

Common questions

Honest answers, no sales fluff.

Most projects fall in the $500–$3,500 range depending on complexity. The discovery call is free, the first scope is free, and you'll know the price before any work starts. No surprise invoices, no monthly retainers required unless you want ongoing support.

No. The whole point is to work with what you already have. If you're on Gmail, Outlook, Google Sheets, Excel, Calendly, Square, QuickBooks — whatever — we build around it. The system runs quietly in the background.

Local service businesses are the sweet spot — landscaping, plumbing, electrical, home improvement, real estate offices, lenders, small contractors, consultants, and solo operators. If you're drowning in repetitive admin, you're who I'm built for.

Small intake or follow-up automation: about a week. Full workflow systems with dashboards and multi-tool integration: 2–3 weeks. You'll get a timeline before we start, and progress updates along the way.

Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support, plain-language documentation, and a check-in. After that, optional maintenance plans are available — or you can call when something comes up. No lock-ins.

Absolutely. The same care that goes into building business systems goes into writing songs. Custom music is for the moments where a card doesn't cut it — weddings, memorials, anniversaries, milestones. Hear my work on YouTube before you decide.

No — the opposite. The whole goal is to remove busywork so business owners can spend more time on the human parts of their work: customers, family, craft. AI and automation are tools, not replacements.
