One recent example — with more on the way as I work with local businesses.

Case study · Local retail

From a hand-built menu rebuilt every day to one that updates itself — around the clock.

A local retail business was rebuilding their product menu by hand every single day. I built an automation that pulls their live inventory data and turns it into a clean, always-current menu — automatically, 24/7. No more manual updates, no more out-of-date listings, hours back every week.

About

A real engineer, local to the South Coast.

I’m James Underwood. I have a computer science degree and years of experience building software — from defense systems to teaching computer science to building automation and data tools.

Now I work with local businesses across the South Coast and East Bay — solving everyday technology problems, improving the systems they rely on, and building custom software and automation when it makes sense. I’m local, I do the work myself, and I stick around to make sure it actually works for you.
