I build tools businesses own forever

I'm Simon Bergeron. I build custom software for businesses who are tired of paying $500/month for tools that almost work.

One-time purchase. You own the code. No subscriptions.

The short version

I've been in the startup ecosystem for 13 years—project management, automation, sales, building websites. Self-taught everything.

When AI coding tools matured, I realized something: businesses don't need to rent software anymore. The tools they need can be built fast and owned forever.

I started building tools for myself. Then for clients. Now I run a practice that delivers custom software in weeks instead of months, at a fraction of traditional development costs.

The model is simple: you tell me what you need, I build it, you own it. No recurring fees. No vendor lock-in. Just tools that work exactly how you work.

I also teach people to build their own tools—same methods I use. But most clients just want it done. That's fine too.

What I've built

Real products with real users. Not demos or proofs of concept.

How I work

You Own Everything

No subscriptions, no vendor lock-in. The code runs on your infrastructure. Even if I disappeared, your tools keep working.

Fixed Pricing, No Surprises

The quote is the price. I scope projects carefully so there are no surprise invoices or scope creep.

Ship Fast, Iterate Live

Working prototype in 1-2 weeks. We iterate on real software, not wireframes and mockups.

Plain Language

No jargon. No buzzwords. I explain what I'm building and why. You understand what you're paying for.
