Tampa, Florida. I've been building production-grade AI systems for real businesses since the earliest days of the modern LLM API stack. I find where AI saves your business money, then build and run those systems for you — done-for-you, not theory.
I don't come from a consulting firm. I come from building products, running outreach, closing deals, and shipping code — all before turning 21.
Work with me →Before AI, before products, I was running outreach — cold email, calls, pipeline management. I know what it feels like when follow-ups fall through the cracks, when CRMs are a mess, when the business depends on the founder being in every deal. That experience is why I build the tools I build.
Working as Sales Manager at Foundit Marketing, I saw how small teams with real revenue were constantly limited by manual operations. That's the gap I've been closing ever since.
Milo was an AI-powered CRM built specifically for home service contractors — roofers, HVAC companies, landscapers, cleaners. I co-founded it, designed the product, and built the entire backend on Cloudflare Workers with the Claude API powering the intelligence layer.
Milo automated lead intake, scored pipeline priority, and sent intelligent follow-up sequences. A real product, shipped from scratch. The systems thinking behind it goes into every client build I take on.
HireRecruitAI was an end-to-end AI recruiting platform for Series A/B startups and staffing agencies. Built solo: Cloudflare Workers backend, Stripe billing, Claude API for candidate intelligence, Resend for automated email sequences.
Shipping two AI products from scratch, solo, in under a year is what separates me from someone who learned AI from a course. When I build a system inside your business, it's reps — not theory.
I have real estate experience in the past. This isn't a side credential — it gives me a deep understanding of commission-based, relationship-driven businesses where every lead, every follow-up, and every deal is personal.
Most AI consultants have never run a sales motion or worked with a client whose income depends on conversion. I have — and it shapes every system I build.
Today I run cartersimmons.org as a done-for-you AI practice — taking on a select number of SMBs, finding the 2–5 places AI gives them the biggest return, then building and running those systems for them. I'm also active on Instagram (@_cartersimmons_) building in public and sharing what I learn.
Every engagement I take is personally reviewed. I'm not farming this out to a team — it's me, doing the work.
I build on the Claude API every day — so I went and got certified directly by Anthropic, the company behind it. These aren't generic "AI course" badges; they're issued by the makers of the models running inside every system I ship.
These aren't demo projects or portfolio pieces. Every system below was built to solve a real operational problem for a real business — including my own.
An AI-powered CRM and lead follow-up platform built specifically for home service contractors — roofers, HVAC, landscapers, cleaners, and general contractors. Milo solved the #1 problem in home service: leads going cold because no one followed up fast enough.
The system automated lead intake from multiple sources, scored pipeline priority using AI, and sent intelligent, context-aware follow-up sequences without the contractor lifting a finger. Built on Cloudflare Workers with the Claude API as the intelligence core. The same architecture goes into the systems I build for clients.
An end-to-end AI recruiting tool built for early-stage startups and staffing agencies. The platform automated candidate sourcing, generated AI-written personalized outreach sequences across email and LinkedIn, and managed the entire pipeline from first touch to warm lead handoff.
Built and deployed solo — full Cloudflare Workers backend, Stripe subscription billing, Claude API for candidate intelligence and message generation, Resend for email delivery, and a full drip sequence system for cold outreach. Shipped, learned from, moved on.
Custom AI outreach engines built for SMBs — finding ideal prospects, generating personalized first-touch messages at scale, and routing warm responses directly into a CRM without manual work. Built for cold email, LinkedIn, and Instagram DM campaigns.
Each system is trained on the client's specific offer, ICP, and tone so messages don't sound automated. The goal is personalization at a volume no sales rep can match.
AI-driven follow-up systems that monitor lead status, send context-aware messages at the right time, and escalate or close conversations without any manual input. Designed for service businesses where speed-to-response directly impacts close rate — because it always does.
These systems don't just send generic drip emails. They assess the lead's stage, what they've responded to, and what they haven't — then send the message most likely to get a reply.
AI tools trained on a business's specific voice, positioning, and offer — producing social posts, outreach copy, sales emails, and ad creative in minutes instead of hours. Used internally for Milo's own Instagram and outreach, and deployed for consulting clients.
The key difference from off-the-shelf AI writing tools: these are trained on the client's actual content, offers, and past high-performing copy — so the output sounds like them, not like a language model.
Not a linear path. A series of bets — most of which paid off.
Ran outreach, managed pipelines, worked with real clients. Saw firsthand how small teams with real revenue were constantly limited by manual operations and slow follow-up.
Gained real estate experience in the Tampa Bay area. Built an understanding of commission-based, relationship-driven sales that became core to how I think about AI systems for service businesses.
Built an AI recruiting platform solo — Cloudflare Workers, Claude API, Stripe, Resend. Targeted Series A/B startups and staffing agencies. First full AI product shipped from scratch.
Co-founded Milo — an AI CRM for home service contractors. Built the entire backend, designed the product, and took it from idea to paying customers. Still the primary product today.
Formalized consulting at cartersimmons.org — Audit → Manage → Lead. Started taking on SMBs who needed AI systems built and run, not just advised on.
Earned six certifications directly from Anthropic — Claude Code 101, Building with the Claude API, plus four AI Fluency certifications: Framework & Foundations, for Small Businesses, for Educators, and Teaching the AI Fluency Framework. Certified on the exact stack I build client systems with.
Done-for-you AI, full-time — taking on a selective number of revenue-generating SMBs who need AI systems found, built, and run. Documenting everything on Instagram (@_cartersimmons_). Every engagement personally reviewed.
