I'm Liam Nabut. Fifteen years shipping web, mobile, VR, IoT, and blockchain products, now working as a named senior engineer on AI automation and local inference for SMBs, clinics, and SaaS operators. I scope the eighty percent you can safely automate and hard-route the rest.
scoping.log, rebuilds every few seconds. this is how my consults actually sound.
Every peer in this lane hides their rate and sells a program to aspiring agency owners. I publish my tiers, take the call myself, and ship the code myself. If the project needs a collaborator, I say so before you pay.
The operator in HN thread 44081968 put it clearly: every time someone asked how AI would actually solve a specific problem, the answer was “AI will handle that.” I answer with named systems, expected hours saved, and a price that sits below the $30-50K strategy-consultant route quoted in HN 44704133.
I care about three things: fixed-scope automation, local AI infrastructurewhen your data shouldn't leave the building, and honest escalation when the AI isn't the right tool.
I scope the repetitive 80% (pricing, order tracking, returns, FAQs) into a working support agent. Emotional or damage tickets route to you with an auditable log. Counterweight to the IH objection that escalation is worse than no AI at all.
Booking pages that convert, built on the same stack I used at The CMP Hong Kong where we shipped a system that lifted conversion fifty percent. Integrated with your calendar, your payment processor, and your CRM, not a no-code kludge.
Private inference on hardware you own or rent, for clinics, legal ops, and SaaS teams whose data genuinely can't leave their environment. Dramatizes the concept Syntora slogans at; I ship the stack instead.
The Apps SDK went public Dec 18, 2025. Your customers already live inside ChatGPT. I build and submit the app, wire the auth, and own the directory listing, priced as a fixed fee, not an hourly retainer.
USA Today and TripAdvisor recognition. I shipped the IoT/RFID backbone for an installation that still ranks among Orlando's top-rated attractions.
Kickstarter 334.8% funded. I owned the platform build, from pipeline to shippable demo.
Booking system that lifted conversion fifty percent. The pattern I reuse now in the AI Booking Systems service.
“Liam shipped what we couldn't. He treats the deadline like his, and when a system needs to hold up at an event with real guests, his code holds.”
“We asked for a booking system and got an operator. Liam rebuilt our funnel, cut friction, and conversion moved fifty percent.”
Anthropic killed flat-rate enterprise bundling and shipped Opus 4.7 at a ~67% cut. Prompt caching (90%) plus batch (50%) stacks to ~95% savings. AI that was priced for enterprise in 2024 now fits a small team's monthly SaaS budget.
A compromised Context.ai employee with an “Allow All” OAuth scope pivoted into Vercel's Google Workspace and env vars. AI vendor due diligence and env hygiene are now on every buyer's radar, which is why I ship AI Vendor Security Review as a fixed-fee SKU.
Apps SDK opened for public submission and custom GPTs migrated to GPT-5.2 on Jan 12, 2026. The ChatGPT App Directory is a real distribution channel. Your customers already live inside ChatGPT, I put your business there.
I come back with three automations you can ship, expected hours saved, a price below the $30-50K strategy-consultant route, and an honest note if AI isn't the right tool.
