Hi, I'm John.

I grew up in the United States obsessed with building things I could control instead of depending on the bloated products big companies expect you to be grateful for. Forging my own path beats following someone else's, every single time.

So that's the life I've built. I now travel the world with my laptop, 60 countries so far, living and working lean, running everything from wherever I happen to be, on systems of my own making. No single company holds the keys to how I live.

Build Simple Systems is me doing that for other people. A simple system built for you: custom software shaped around your actual workflow, built to scale with you, and yours to keep. Most business owners are renting their operation from a patchwork of SaaS products that hold them back from growing. I help you own it instead.
