Less repeat work. Useful software. Help when you get stuck.
I’m Emile du Toit. I help small businesses fix awkward processes, connect their tools and build software that makes the working day easier. You bring the business knowledge. I bring 30+ years of IT, software and database experience.
Where would you like to start?
For small businesses
Get unstuck
A tool is not working, your apps do not talk to each other, or a repeated task keeps eating your time. I help find the cause and work through a practical fix.
Build something useful
Turn your business knowledge into a useful app, clearer reporting or less manual work. You explain the job and review the result; I plan, build and test the software.
Learn with support
Use AI and business software with more confidence. Learn on your own work, one-on-one or with your team, with someone beside you when you get stuck.
Working together
Someone who gets to know your business
Your knowledge shapes the work
You know your customers, your staff and the exceptions that make your business different. I listen, ask questions and show you progress so your feedback can shape the result. You do not need to become a programmer.
Care beyond the demo
A useful tool needs careful design, testing, clear instructions and a plan for when something goes wrong. I bring the habits from 30+ years in IT to the work your business depends on, with ongoing help we agree together.
My backgroundHow it starts
From the first conversation to everyday use
Step 1
Understand the work
Start with a free 30-minute consultation. Tell me what is getting in the way, who uses the tools and what a useful result would look like.
Step 2
Shape it together
You bring the business knowledge and thoughtful feedback. I turn that into a plain-language plan and, when useful, a demo we can review before the full build.
Step 3
Build, test and keep improving
I do the technical building, test the work and explain how to use it. I can teach you along the way and help with fixes and improvements as your business changes.
My typical rate is $60 an hour for building, troubleshooting and teaching. We agree the work and priorities before I start. Book the consultation.
