About

“An hour lost at a bottleneck is an hour out of the entire system.”

Eliyahu Goldratt, The Goal

I'm Riley Durrer. I build automation and AI tools for small and mid-sized companies, mostly aimed at the repetitive, manual work that eats up a team's day.

How I got here

What I really enjoy is researching new technologies and working out how they can be used in a business. AI caught my interest back in 2020, and chasing down where it genuinely fits is what turned a personal interest into what I do.

How I work

I work with AI a lot, but I'm not precious about it. The right fix might be AI, a bit of automation, or just cleaning up how a process flows, whatever the problem calls for. I've got no interest in building something that isn't worth it.

I do my best work in person and hands-on, sitting with the people doing the job and figuring it out together. The way businesses run is changing quickly, and a lot of my time goes into keeping up with where it's headed, so I tend to work best with people who are genuinely excited about that, not worried by it.

I care about solving the actual problem, whether that turns out to be AI or not.
