AI for the Trades - Custom Builds
You bring the judgment. I carry the rest.
Every tool I build has one first job: give your people time back in their week. If it isn’t doing that, it’s failing, and I want to know.
We need better information, not more communication.

why this exists
Time first. It’s how I learned.
Twenty-two years in this industry’s operations taught me where the week goes. I learned to fix the bottlenecks, take the repetitive work off the plate, and solve for time first. The time I got back is what let me keep learning and keep building.
OperatorIQ brings that to your company. I start with your time, and we find the rest in the work itself.
I give the people doing the work their time back, so they have room to grow.

the test
If it isn’t saving your people time, it’s failing. I want to know.
What I bring
- I’ll tell you what I don’t know yet.
- I’ll build it, not just talk about it.
- Every note you send gets read and answered, even when the answer is no.
- I’ll say so when something isn’t working, before you have to.
- If something off the shelf would serve you better, I’ll tell you.
What you bring
- How the work really gets done, not how it’s written down.
- Your people using it, and telling me where to adjust it.
- Saying so when the crew stops using it, not only when it breaks.
- Saying so when it isn’t saving time.
- Your judgment. It’s your business.
what I believe
Four things I build on.

a few rules from the shop
How I think about it.
- 01If it needs a training morning, it isn’t finished.
- 02The test is whether a foreman with four minutes before the crew loads out is faster with it than without it.
- 03My tools read and cite. They don’t decide. The decision stays yours.

start
Start with your week.
Where does your week go? Tell me the one step nobody on your crew would miss. That’s usually where I start.
Built with your crew, not handed to you.
