Joe Blas — Founder of Joe's Tech Solutions
Currently operating Hermes — 14 agents, 24/7

I build the tools yourbusiness runs on.

Custom software, automation, and AI — built for small businesses that just need things to work. I test everything on myself first. If it survives me, it'll survive you.

No discovery calls, no 40-page proposals. Tell me what's not working. I'll build the fix and leave it running.

I test everything on myself first. 14 agents, 32 automations, all running 24/7 on my own infrastructure. If it doesn't survive me, it doesn't ship to you.

The difference

The agency way vs my way.

The agency way

Discovery sprint→
Strategy deck→
Alignment sessions→
Team assigned→
PowerPoint delivered→
No working software

Six weeks in, you've got a PowerPoint and no working software.

My way

Tell me what's not working→
I build the fix→
Leave it running

You'll see something working in days, not quarters. And the person you talked to is the person who built it.

Services

Three ways I work with you.

From a one-time setup to a full operations layer. Start where you need to, move up when you're ready.
