About
I build tools businesses own forever
I'm Simon Bergeron. I build custom software for businesses who are tired of paying $500/month for tools that almost work.
One-time purchase. You own the code. No subscriptions.

The short version
I've been in the startup ecosystem for 13 years—project management, automation, sales, building websites. Self-taught everything.
When AI coding tools matured, I realized something: businesses don't need to rent software anymore. The tools they need can be built fast and owned forever.
I started building tools for myself. Then for clients. Now I run a practice that delivers custom software in weeks instead of months, at a fraction of traditional development costs.
The model is simple: you tell me what you need, I build it, you own it. No recurring fees. No vendor lock-in. Just tools that work exactly how you work.
I also teach people to build their own tools—same methods I use. But most clients just want it done. That's fine too.

You Own Everything
No subscriptions, no vendor lock-in. The code runs on your infrastructure. Even if I disappeared, your tools keep working.
Fixed Pricing, No Surprises
The quote is the price. I scope projects carefully so there are no surprise invoices or scope creep.
Ship Fast, Iterate Live
Working prototype in 1-2 weeks. We iterate on real software, not wireframes and mockups.
Plain Language
No jargon. No buzzwords. I explain what I'm building and why. You understand what you're paying for.
