20+ Years of Solving Business Problems

I helped a winery grow sales by 11%. I built tools that save business owners hours every week. I create marketing systems that run themselves.
Every project here started with a real problem and ended with a real solution — built by one person who actually cares how your business works.

What My Clients Say

Real feedback from real people — business owners and team leads who trusted me with their projects.

I hired a moving company and this guy showed up talking about a website he built while carrying a couch up three flights of stairs. I was curious so I hired him and was blown away by the results. I asked why he works at a moving company with engineer-level skills. His answer: "I love all types of challenges." HIRE THIS GUY. You won't regret it.

Marketing • Land Mark Realty SF

Rishi built us a system that honestly replaced what we were doing with spreadsheets and sticky notes. The warehouse team actually uses it every single day which says a lot. He spent weeks just learning how our operation worked before he wrote any code and it shows in how well the thing fits what we do.

Jonathan Pascua
Manager • Ridge Vineyards

I'm not tech savvy at all and Rishi was so patient walking me through everything. He built my bakery a website and ordering system that my customers actually love. I just tell him what I need and he makes it happen, feels like having my own IT department except it's one guy who actually cares about my business.

Esther Nio
Owner • Esther's Kitchen & Beer Garden

This guy literally built a label counting machine from scratch with an Arduino and then connected it to the inventory software he also built from scratch lol. I've worked at Ridge for 15+ years and I've never seen someone solve problems that creatively. He doesn't just fix things he invents the fix.

Heidi Niegen
Director of Production • Ridge Vineyards

We needed someone who could actually understand how a moving company works not just build a pretty website. Rishi came in asked the right questions and built something that helps us run the business better. Way less than the agencies we talked to and honestly better work.

  • Drag-scroll photo gallery with lightbox to showcase completed jobs

Meditation Video Generator

Client Project • 2026

A client wanted to create meditation videos but did not have the budget for a production team. I built a desktop app where you type a topic and it automatically creates the visuals, narration, background music, and final video — all ready to upload.

  • Simple desktop app — no technical skills needed to use it
  • Delivered with a website and chatbot as a complete business package

Salesforce Implementation

Ridge Vineyards • 2019–2025

I set up and customized a professional sales platform for Ridge Vineyards' export team — giving them one place to manage orders, track what is available to sell, and fulfill shipments. This directly helped grow their sales by 11%.

  • One place to manage all export orders and see what is in stock
  • Connected to the inventory system so orders fill automatically
  • Trained the whole team and wrote easy-to-follow guides

Arduino Label Counter

Ridge Vineyards • 2020–2025

The winery needed to know exactly how many labels they had on hand, but counting thousands by hand was not realistic. I built a physical counting device and connected it to the inventory system — solving a problem that was actually blocking them from selling more wine.

  • Built the physical device with sensors and a custom case
  • Counts feed directly into the inventory system in real time
  • Accurate label counts meant they could sell more wine

100+ Excel Macros

Ridge Vineyards • 2019–2025

I wrote over 100 custom automations inside Excel that turned hours of daily paperwork into one-click tasks — shipping documents, inventory reports, and daily number-crunching that used to eat up the entire morning.

  • Replaced paper-based processes with instant digital workflows
  • Saved the team hours of repetitive data entry every single day

Steam Deck Gaming Portal

Client Project • 2026

A client wanted to play classic retro games and stream Xbox games on their handheld device, but the setup was way too complicated. I built a one-click installer that sets everything up automatically — just run it and start playing.

  • Ranks every lead by priority so you reach out to the best ones first

I don't just build websites and apps — I sit down with a business owner, learn how their day actually works, and build something that makes that day easier. Every project here started the same way: someone had a problem, and I built exactly what they needed to fix it.

Career Journey

From building websites for local shops to running entire business systems — every job taught me something I bring to your project.

2025 – Present

Autom84You

Founder & Lead Developer

Running my own company where I build everything you see in this portfolio — marketing tools, AI video creators, client websites, lead-finding systems, and more. I handle every project from idea to launch, personally.

2019 – 2025

Ridge Vineyards

Export Shipping → Technical Coordinator

Started in the shipping department, got promoted because I kept building tools that made the whole team faster. I created their entire inventory system, a label counting device, over 100 automated reports, and set up their sales platform — helping grow export sales by 11%. Named Employee of the Quarter twice.

Benchmark Electronics

IT Technician & Production Coordinator

Helped set up production lines for Lyft Scooters and Zero Bicycles. Built tracking tools that reduced lost parts and kept the production line running smoothly.

2017 – 2018

Freelance Web Developer

Self-Employed

Built booking systems and websites for local businesses — the kind of projects where a shop owner tells you what they need, and you figure out how to make it happen. This is where I developed my approach of building everything custom, tailored to the business.

Tech Camp Danville

Java Programming Instructor

Taught programming to high school students at a tech camp in Danville, California. They asked me to come back, but I chose building things over teaching about them — a decision that set the course for everything after.

Foothill College & Beyond

Self-Taught Developer

I started building things on a computer as a kid and never stopped. Studied at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills, California, and then just kept going — learning whatever I needed to solve the next problem. Twenty-plus years later, that is still exactly how I work.

What Makes Me Different

You are not hiring an agency. You are working directly with the person who builds your project — someone who takes the time to understand your business first.

I Learn Your Business First

Before I build anything, I spend time understanding how your business actually runs day to day. I talk to your team, watch the workflow, and ask a lot of questions. That is why the things I build fit your business like a glove — not like a generic template.

Built Custom, Not From a Template

I do not use cookie-cutter website builders or drag-and-drop tools. Everything I create is built specifically for you, from the ground up. That means it does exactly what you need — nothing extra you will never use, nothing missing that you wish it had.

Problems Do Not Stop Me

When a payment company said no to one of my projects, I found another way. When a tool stopped working on a remote computer, I built a creative fix using email. I do not give up when something goes wrong — I figure it out and make it work.

Have a Project in Mind?

Whether you need a simple website or a full system to run your business — let's talk.
No commitment, no pressure. Just a friendly conversation about what I can build for you.
