Hi, I'm Josue Rodriguez
I don't sell templates—I build solutions designed for you
Technology Director. Startup Co-Founder. I build software for businesses—websites, custom apps, internal tools, and everything in between. Some clients need a simple site that just works. Others are tired of juggling disconnected apps and want something built around how they actually operate. Wherever you fall on that spectrum, I design solutions that fit—no templates, no one-size-fits-all. Your business is unique; your software should be too.
How I Got Here
Each project taught me something. Usually the hard way. Here's the path from operations and data to building AI-powered solutions.
AI-Powered Builder
Creating AI-powered applications that serve real users—from conversational interfaces to intelligent data systems. I integrate LLMs and modern AI into production software, building custom AI capabilities instead of buying generic SaaS, solving complex integration challenges.
Startup Co-Founder: AI-Powered Compliance
Co-founded and built AI employee incident management platform. Turned concept into production-ready SaaS in months using AI-assisted development—proving the power of modern LLMs for rapid prototyping.
Technology Director: Building vs. Buying
Leading technology for multi-location hospitality group. Built business intelligence, training systems, event management, and hiring platforms from scratch—saving tens of thousands annually by creating instead of subscribing.
Operations Leadership: Multi-Location Restaurant Group
Directed operations for 7 restaurants, implementing POS systems, training platforms, and business intelligence tools that improved efficiency and drove measurable results across all locations.
Data & Systems: Yale University
Analyzed research subject data for Yale's dyslexia studies. Maintained test databases, performed statistical analysis, and created visualizations that helped researchers spot patterns in reading disorders—developing expertise in statistical analysis and data-driven insights.
International Operations: Latin America
Led regional sales and operations across Latin America for industrial distribution company. Managed multi-site operations in Mexico and Puerto Rico, developed cost-reduction strategies, and enhanced customer database with 500K+ entries.
Supply Chain & Vendor Management
Coordinated international supply chain operations across Europe, South America, and North America. Managed vendor relationships and supported major telecommunications projects for Fortune 500 clients.
What to Expect
How I actually work—no corporate speak, just how things go
I'll Tell You No
If your idea won't work, I'll say so. If there's a simpler solution, I'll suggest it—even if it means a smaller project. My job is to solve your problem, not maximize my invoice.
I Over-Communicate
You'll never wonder what's happening with your project. Weekly updates. Demos you can actually click on. Questions answered within 24 hours, usually faster.
I Build to Hand Off
Everything I create comes with documentation. Your code. Your data. Your infrastructure. If we part ways, you're not stuck.
I Stay Current
I spend real time every week learning what's new and what actually matters. The tech in those demos? That's the same stack I'll use for your project.
