What I build

Things owners
ask me.

Most of it isn't fancy. It's the task somebody repeats every week because there was never another way.

If yours isn't on the list, it probably still counts. →

Front desk“Can tomorrow's patients be prepped before we walk in?”Forms chased, records pulled, eligibility checked. The sheet is on the desk the night before.
End of day“Can we actually close out at five?”Follow-ups booked, summaries sent, claims paperwork staged. You lock the door on time.
Tax season“Can client documents sort themselves before the crunch?”They arrive however they arrive, and land named, sorted, and where the workpaper expects them.
Records“Does any of this have to leave the building?”No. When records can't go to the cloud, the whole thing runs on a machine in your office.
New staff“Can new hires stop asking me everything?”Your how-tos in one place staff can ask, instead of asking you.
Catalog“Can the supplier files just… work?”They can. That's the Sparktec build below.

Real work · built and running

This one is auto parts.
The shape isn't.

Sparktec's suppliers send product data every which way. Now it lands on the store, in their voice. Swap in intake forms or client documents and it's the same build.

How it works

Two ways to work with me.

It depends on who should end up holding it.

1You run it

Your team learns to run it

Pick this if someone on your team is curious and would like to own it.

Built on your real workflows, then your team is trained to run it. Nothing walks out the door when I do.

“I came out of it able to build one myself, which was the point. He teaches the method, not just the tool.”

RJ · Senior Engineering Program Manager

2I run it

I build it and run it

Pick this if you'd rather never think about it again.

Built, launched, and run for you, with someone accountable when something upstream changes at 2am.

Start with 2, switch to 1 whenever you're ready. That's allowed.

Stays in the building, if it has to.Patient and client records stay in your systems. When they can't leave the office, it runs on hardware you own, in the office. I already run work this way on my own machines. Say so early; it changes what I build.

Not sure which fits? That's what the first call is for. Book an intro call

Who's behind it

Ed Tang

Founder · San Francisco Bay Area · 21 years at Google and NVIDIA

I spent two decades building data center capacity on three continents. Every project was the same problem in different clothes: grow the output faster than the headcount.

The answer was always the same, too. Standardize what can be standardized, automate what can be automated, and teach the people already there to run it.

The scale doesn't transfer. The method does.

“I'd like my community to thrive as much as the companies I used to build for.”
