How I work
Four clear steps, no mystery
The process stays close to the people who will use the software, with scope and price agreed in writing before work starts.
01
Walk the workflow
I sit with the people doing the work and trace what happens from the first call to the final invoice.
- Current workflow
- Pain points
- Best first build
02
Shape the solution
I turn the workflow into screens and a clear scope before the build starts, while changes are still easy.
- Screen direction
- Data flow
- Fixed scope & quote
03
Build in the open
You see working software regularly, test it with real jobs, and help steer the details that matter to your team.
- Working demos
- Test environment
- Integration testing
04
Launch & improve
I help your team adopt the system, watch how it performs in daily work, and keep improving it where needed.
- Team handover
- Documentation
- Ongoing support
Portfolio
Things I've built
Working products shaped by job sites, field teams, and the operational details generic software tends to miss.
Bytown Booked
Booking a solo contractor around real travel zones and urgent work.
Customers send photos, AI triages urgency, and the system offers only days the owner is already in their zone. It sends reminders, releases no-shows automatically, and prepares an owner morning brief.
- React
- Supabase
- Edge Functions
- AI vision
- Cron
RestoreTrack AI
Knowing where restoration equipment is and what the warehouse needs.
QR sign-in and sign-out connects equipment to job numbers, flags overdue returns, tracks consumable stock with reorder links, and gives each team the right permissions.
- SaaS
- QR
- Supabase
Alygn
Keeping a general contractor's field and office work in one place.
A job platform for field documentation and photos, contents inventory, scheduling, time tracking, invoicing, and subscription management.
- SaaS
- Stripe
- Email automation
Financially Savvy
Turning an inbox full of invoices into clean monthly records.
AI scans Gmail, extracts vendor and tax data, converts currencies to CAD, files PDFs into monthly Drive folders, and flags duplicate charges.
- Gmail API
- Google Drive
- AI extraction
Service Savvy
Capturing local service leads without losing the conversation.
An AI SMS assistant dashboard that responds to incoming leads and lets the business track every conversation in real time.
- AI
- SMS
- Realtime
Internal operations tools
Giving restoration teams practical tools for the work they do every day.
For the restoration company I work at, I've built tools for job tracking, emergency billing packages generated from job reports, production meetings, gross-profit tracking, and field lead capture for business development.
- Operations
- Billing
- Field tools
Other experiments: ELYRION, an AI image and video creator.
About
Built from the field, not a pitch deck
I know the gap between software that looks good in a demo and software people can actually use on a busy job site.

Neel Patel
Founder, Epyca
Ottawa, Ontario
I’m a Mitigation Manager at a property restoration company in Ottawa. I started building tools because off-the-shelf software did not fit how field teams actually work — between emergency calls, site photos, equipment, paperwork and billing.
Those internal tools became Epyca. Now I build practical apps and AI automations for other contractors, restoration companies and field-service businesses.
