We ship AI
that works.
The path from AI adoption to real results is a tangled mess. We untangle it.
The busywork is eating your week.
The day-to-day never lets up
of an owner's time is spent working in the business, not on it
Answering the same emails, chasing the same follow-ups, putting out the same fires. The work that actually grows the business keeps getting pushed to next week.
The same tasks, over and over
of small businesses struggle with manual, repetitive tasks
Invoicing, data entry, reporting, rekeying the same information between apps. Hours disappear into work that has to happen but never moves you forward.
The pattern is the same in every small business: the manual work never stops, so the work that grows the business never starts. The fix isn't another tool or another course. It's a partner who fixes the process first, then automates it.

Software engineering roots.
AI expertise that ships.
Most AI consultancies lack deep software engineering experience. Most dev shops lack AI depth. We bridge both, and that's the difference between a demo and a production system.
Production systems, not demos
20+ years shipping real software. We build what holds up when real users hit it.
Works with what you have
We integrate AI into your existing systems. No rip-and-replace.
The person on the call does the work
No handoffs. Senior expertise from strategy through delivery.
Built for lean teams
Right-sized for teams that ship fast, not enterprise methodology shrunk to fit.
Hi, I'm Ronnie.
I've spent 20+ years building web applications, managing infrastructure, and solving hard software problems. In 2022, I founded BuildTestRun to bring that deep engineering experience to the organizations that need it most.
Today, the most impactful engineering work is happening at the intersection of traditional software and AI. That's where I live, building production AI systems and helping dev teams work smarter with AI tooling.
