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. I live and work lean, running everything from wherever I happen to be, on systems I built myself. 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 how you actually work, 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. Not just on paper. Built so that if you ever wanted to take it elsewhere, the handover is a short conversation, not a fight.
