Fausto Rodriguez
Founder, Kai Labs. Lubbock, Texas.
I'm Fausto Rodriguez. Before I built software for service businesses, I spent eight years working inside them: roofing, solar, windows, metal buildings, and concrete, on the sales side and the operations side both. Local crews at one end of that, a $1B solar company at the other.
I've been on the roofs, hauled the trailers, chased the paperwork, and run the appointment. Then Economics and AI at Texas Tech, not to compensate for the trades background, to complete it. One taught me where the money actually leaks. The other taught me how to close the gap.
You describe the problem, I tell you what I'd build, what it takes, and what it costs. If it isn't worth building, I'll say that instead.
Trades first.Software second.
Tell me what is slowing you down.
Thirty minutes. You describe the problem, and I tell you what I'd build, what it takes, and what it costs.
