Websites, automation, and AI workflows that hand you back the hours busywork eats. Whether you have never touched AI or you are already running on it, I meet you where you are. Big project or small, the first consultation is free.
I'm a go-to-market engineer with a technician's hands. The foundation is real: a decade in the trades, a stint in the U.S. Army, and an AAS in Mechatronics from SC4 — PLCs, industrial controls, electrical work. On top of it, I build the systems that move a business: production-grade AI workflows, custom websites with hosting handled, automated advertising cycles, and search optimization for both Google and the AI engines that answer questions now. Trained as a technician, raised with an engineering mindset. One work ethic runs all of it.

For Your Business
Run Like a Well-Oiled Machine
Most small businesses lose ten to sixteen hours a week to work a machine could do. Not the work that needs your judgment. The repetitive handoffs: the quote that never got followed up, the invoice typed by hand, the same question answered for the hundredth time. I find those, automate them, and hand you back the hours. You keep every decision that matters. The busywork goes away. Big project or small, it starts the same way: a free consultation, in plain English, no jargon.
Wherever you are with AI, I meet you there
01
"It still feels like hype."
You've heard the noise, maybe tried a chatbot once, and you're not sure any of it fits a business like yours. Start here. I set up the right tools, train your team, and write it all down so you are never dependent on me.
02
"I'm dabbling."
You use ChatGPT here and there, but it hasn't changed how the business actually runs. I turn dabbling into real workflows: the tasks that eat your week, automated and reliable, with a human review before anything goes out.
03
"I'm running on it."
You've got tools in place and want to push further without a full-time hire. Fractional AI operations: ongoing builds, maintenance, and new use cases on flexible terms, scaled to what you need this month.
What that looks like
Service & Trades
The lead that books itself
A customer fills out your form at nine at night. By morning they have a reply, a quote, and a slot on your calendar, and the job is on your schedule. You never touched your phone. A follow-up loop that used to cost you a day a week, now running while you sleep.
Professional OfficeReal Build
The paperwork that files itself
Every client call turns into clean notes and a task list before you have left the room. Documents draft themselves in your format, in your voice, ready for you to review and sign. This is not hypothetical. I built exactly this for a law firm, and it turned hours of drafting into minutes.
Retail & E-CommerceReal Build
The inventory that lists itself
Photos in, priced and written listings out, posted across every platform on a schedule, with a live store and payment links generated for you. I run this exact pipeline on my own estate-sale business. The same machine can run yours.
Any Business
The inbox that sorts itself
Routine questions answered on their own, requests read and routed to the right person, and the few that truly need you flagged and waiting. Your inbox stops running your day, and nothing important slips through, because a human keeps the final say.
Signature Service
Intelligent Document Archives
Turn boxes of paper you cannot search into a private database you can talk to. If you are paying to store years of records nobody can find, this is the fix. From dead paper to living data.
01
Digitize
I take your banker boxes and handle the tedious part: removing staples, flattening creases, and running every page through a scanner. You do not lift a finger.
02
The AI reads it
The AI reads every page, tells a tax form from a contract from an invoice, and organizes the whole archive on its own. On the heaviest jobs, a Kimi K2.6 agent swarm runs multiple readers in parallel to structure it faster. This is the part scanning companies do not do.
03
You get a searchable database
You get a private knowledge base you can chat with. Ask it a question and get the record in seconds instead of an hour of digging through storage.
Sized to the job
I match the model to the work and the budget. A small local Llama for straightforward archives, all the way up to a frontier model like Kimi K2.6 for the largest and most nuanced records. You pay for the muscle the job needs, not more.
Two ways to run it
On your premises: the model and your database live on a dedicated machine inside your office, and your data never touches the internet. Managed cloud: I host it on a secure, encrypted server with a private login for your team.

If you have something you want automated, let's see if we can do it. Invoicing, scheduling, document handling, data entry, reporting, listing products, chasing leads — if it eats hours on a repeating cycle, it's a candidate. The initial consultation is free.
HardwareEmbedded
Custom Electronics & Embedded Systems
Arduino and ESP32 builds that connect the physical world to your software. Custom security and access control, smart building and equipment automation, and remote sensor monitoring that reports to a dashboard or straight to your phone. I retrofit existing hardware to talk to APIs, databases, and the cloud. Mechatronics training on the electronics, software on the integration. That combination is rare.
WebHosting
Website Design, Build & Hosting
A custom site built by hand — fast, mobile-first, accessible, structured for search — with hosting, DNS, and SSL handled so you never think about it. Seven live sites and counting, from law firms to construction companies.
AdvertisingAutomation
Advertising Cycle Automation
The full loop, automated: creative generation, scheduling, cross-platform posting, performance review, iteration. I run this pipeline for my own publication across four platforms; I can build yours to match your brand and cadence.
Paid Media
Google Ads & Paid Media Optimization
Optimization of your Google Ads or any other ad space you want to use — search, display, social. Keyword and audience refinement, negative-keyword hygiene, bid strategy, landing-page alignment, and honest reporting on what your spend actually buys.
SEOGEO
SEO & GEO Optimization
Ranking in Google is half the job now. The other half is showing up when ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini answers a question about your industry. Technical SEO, structured data, local search, and generative engine optimization so both kinds of search find you.
Lead GenAutomation
Lead Generation & Outreach Automation
Automated prospect research, list building, enrichment, and drafted outreach that sounds like you — reviewed before anything sends. The machine does the digging; you keep the handshake.
AITraining
AI Setup & Training for Small Business
One-time engagement: I come in, set up the right AI tools for your team, train your people, and document the workflow. Any industry. Built to leave you self-sufficient, not dependent.

Fractional
Fractional AI Operations
On-demand AI operations support for teams that need the capability but aren't ready for a full-time hire. Ongoing workflow maintenance, prompt refinement, and new use-case rollout — flexible hours, flexible terms.
Not sure which of these you need? That's what the free consultation is for.
I don't just use these tools. I've been certified on them at the source. Four completions from Anthropic, the company that builds Claude, covering the model, the platform, the coding agent, and the fluency framework I bring into every client engagement.

Questions
Frequently Asked
What is a go-to-market engineer?
A go-to-market engineer builds the systems that carry a business from product to customer: automation, websites, advertising, SEO, and AI workflows. I am William Faitel, a go-to-market engineer in Port Huron, Michigan, with a mechatronics foundation and hands-on AI operations experience.
Do you work with small businesses?
Yes. Most of what I do is help small businesses automate the repetitive work that eats their week, anything from a single task to a full private-AI setup. Every engagement starts with a free consultation, in plain English.
What does the free consultation include?
We talk through what eats your time or where your customers stall, and I tell you straight whether I can automate it, what it would take, and what it would cost. No retainer required to find out.
Can AI run privately, without sending my data to the cloud?
Yes. I set up local and on-premise AI so your data never leaves your office. That matters most for legal, medical, and financial records, where privacy is not optional.
What kinds of work can you automate?
If it is repetitive and follows a pattern, it is a candidate: invoicing, scheduling, document handling, lead follow-up, product listings, reporting, and customer questions. A human keeps the final say on anything that matters.
Where are you located and who do you serve?
I am based in Port Huron, Michigan, and work with businesses both locally and remotely across the United States, on projects large and small.
