Projects That Moved the Needle

These are real tools we built for real companies. Some generated thousands of leads, others saved millions in margin, and a few led to acquisitions.

​
What These Projects Have in Common

Most involve taking something manual and making it automatic. Contra needed job listings - we built a Chrome extension that let 30,000 users find them. getBenson was losing margin to discount extensions - we blocked them. The pattern: find the repetitive work, automate it, measure what changes.
