Your AI agents,
built for you.
A senior AI engineer on subscription for small businesses. Starting from zero, or fixing what's already live — I design, build, and ship your agents and automations, one at a time.
$1,500 roadmap to start · ~2 weeks · credited in full if you continue
Two kinds of teams
hire me.
You don't have AI yet
Your AI is live but shaky
Either way, one senior engineer builds and ships it for you — one build at a time. You own everything. Pause or cancel anytime.

A roadmap first. Then the
machine runs.
I map what to build (or fix). Credited if you continue.
Flat monthly. Your backlog lives on a shared board.
One build at a time, shipped to production.
Pause a month anytime, or cancel. You keep everything.
One subscription,

Every subscription starts with the $1,500 roadmap · credited in full
$1,500, fixed. If it shows you don't need a subscription, you still walk away with a plan worth more than that.
Pause between projects and billing pauses with you — you're not charged while paused. Cancel anytime; you keep all the code, docs, and IP.
Whatever moves the needle
with AI.
AI reception for service businesses
A separate, productized service: an AI receptionist that answers every call — after hours, weekends, English and Spanish — books the job, and transfers the ones that need a human.
Everything you can
ask for.
Add anything on the list to your backlog — as much as you want. I work it one build at a time and ship each one to production.

Southern Sun is a solo practice — just me. No account managers, no junior handoffs. I design, build, and ship your agents one at a time, on a flat monthly rate. Based in Phoenix. I meet Arizona clients in person and work with everyone else remotely.
Questions,
answered.
Yes, Southern Sun is based in Phoenix. I meet Arizona clients in person, across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale and Peoria, and work with everyone else in the US remotely. The roadmap call can be at your office, over coffee or on video.
Yes. Plenty of clients start from zero. The roadmap maps what to build first, and then I build and ship it — you don't need any in-house AI talent to begin.
Anything in the AI-engineering lane: agents and assistants, RAG and retrieval, workflow automation, integrations, and reliability or cost fixes on live systems. If something's outside that, I'll say so on the roadmap call and point you to who does it better.
I handle one request at a time — shipping each to production before starting the next, in an order we set together.
A steady, predictable cadence. Everything lives on a shared board, so you always see what's active and what's next. Timing depends on scope, and we agree on it before each build.
Often, yes. The roadmap includes a read on your current prompts, architecture, retrieval, and costs, so we'll know quickly what's salvageable and what needs rebuilding.
Pause your subscription — you're not billed while paused — and resume the month you're ready. Most clients cycle between building and pausing.
All of it — code, docs, and IP. Cancel anytime and nothing leaves with me. No lock-in.
Touching a production AI system blind is expensive. The roadmap tells us both whether the subscription is worth it — and it's credited in full toward your first month if you continue.
Yes. I'm based in Phoenix and meet Arizona teams in person — for the roadmap session, or whenever sitting down together helps. Day to day the work runs on a shared board, calls, and shipped code, so teams outside Arizona work with me the same way, remotely.
Me, directly — Gabriel. A solo practice: no account managers, no junior handoffs. 10+ years shipping production software, including AI for CellarTracker (10M+ users); previously Uber and Carvana.
