Spence Technology helps small businesses use AI and automation to get hours back every week, and builds the websites and online stores that bring customers in. One consultant, plain English, fixed quotes.
Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute call and ends with a fixed quote. No hourly meter running while you decide.
Find the five hours a week you lose to copy-paste, and hand them to software.
A site that loads fast, says what you do, and gets the phone to ring.
Move your catalog online without losing a single SKU.
A standing block of hours each month for fixes, new automations, and "can you make it do this?" requests. Month to month, cancel any time.
A few of the things I've built recently. Client names on request.
Property pages with live availability and direct-booking widgets for a company managing eight rentals, so guests can book each unit straight from the company's own site instead of a third-party platform.
Moving a retailer's on-premises inventory system into Shopify as the single source of truth, so the showroom and the online store finally agree on what's in stock.
A custom AI skill that translates Portuguese legal filings into English and cross-references the relevant statutes, turning hours of case prep into minutes.
A desktop dashboard that turns a checklist of command-line maintenance tasks into buttons anyone on the team can press, with status you can read at a glance.
You talk, I take notes. You leave with at least one thing you can automate this week, whether or not we work together.
A one-page plan: what gets built, what it costs, and when it's done. The number on the page is the number on the invoice.
You see real, usable progress as it happens, not a big reveal at the end. Change your mind early and it costs nothing.
Everything is documented and you're trained on it. After launch, you still have my number.
I'm the founder and principal consultant at Spence Technology, based in La Jolla, San Diego. By day I run IT and security for a fully remote, HIPAA-compliant health-tech company: 60-plus Mac and Windows devices, Microsoft 365, VPN, cloud servers, weekly security reviews, and the configuration and evidence work behind a successful ISO 27001 audit. Before that I spent two years as an IT consultant for small businesses in Bend, Oregon, including a jewelry retailer's move into Shopify.
I build with AI tools every day, the same ones I set up for clients. I'm one person, which means the person who builds your project is the person who answers the phone. I write in plain English, quote fixed prices, and I'd rather tell you a project isn't worth doing than sell it to you.
Call, email, or use the form. I reply within one business day.
