I've spent my career
building things that work.

I'm Alan Bradburne. Three decades of professional coding. CTO for startups, development lead, company founder, and author of two Ruby on Rails books.

AI changed everything about what's possible for business owners. Not "write emails faster" — build a working solution in an afternoon that used to take weeks.

The real shift isn't AI as a chatbot. It's AI as a way to unlock value that's been sitting in your business all along. Every company has processes that could be faster, decisions that could be better informed, and work that doesn't need a human at all.

That's what I do now. I'm a personal trainer for AI — I help business owners find the hidden opportunities in their operations and build the tools to capture them. I know the shortcuts, the dead ends, and the approaches that actually work.
