Lead Follow-Up
Lead Capture & Follow-Up
Turn website inquiries, missed messages, and form submissions into organized follow-up instead of scattered notes.
How I Can Help
The starting point is not "use AI everywhere." It's finding the repetitive work, missed follow-up, or messy information that's costing you time.
Websites
Simple Websites
Simple, clean websites for businesses that need to look legitimate online and give customers a clear way to contact them.
AI Training
AI & Automation Training
Plain-English training for owners and teams who want to use AI without getting lost in tools, hype, or jargon.
Automation
Custom Workflow Tools
Small tools for recurring business tasks: summaries, scheduling, intake forms, document handling, and internal tracking.
Free Weekly Training
One local business gets free AI training every week.
Each week I pick one small business in the Cedar Valley for a free onsite AI & automation training session — no cost, no catch.
Completely free — no cost
I love solving problems and teaching, and I'm confident you'll walk away with real ideas — you'll start spotting savings across your business, and I'll be ready to help when you're ready to act on them.
Additional sessions by appointment
Can't wait for the weekly drawing? Extra sessions may be available by appointment, schedule permitting.
Onsite training, not virtual
Cedar Valley and surrounding areas.
Small business websites
SBE Sites
Simple website builds and hosting service for small businesses that need a dependable web presence without turning the project into a corporate production.

About Jerry
Based in Waterloo, Iowa
I'm Jerry Mak. I spent years in manufacturing, frustrated by software that got inflicted on the people using it instead of built for them. I've had a computer science degree since 2006, so I always knew the tools could do better — I just rarely had the time to build something custom for every situation. Sometimes I did anyway. Now that's the whole job: building tools that work the way the person using them actually needs.
In 2025 I decided that making content was a skill I needed, so I spent nearly ten months traveling through Mexico and Asia — shooting and editing a new video week after week, building my editing skills a little at a time and slowly getting over the fear of being on camera. I'm not a polished content creator yet, but I took the first step to fix that — you can see a few videos from the trip here.
Example Builds
Full AI Platform
AISK
A full AI workspace platform. Tired of forgetting things, or losing time because you can't recall something critical? AI SideKick is in beta testing now, with a few students getting early access to try it — you'll see me use it live in class.
Web App
IPX Systems
Bringing industrial logs into the modern era — mobile-first QR code access, real-time alerts, trend charts, and audit-friendly records. Designed by someone who managed factory processes for 15 years and knows exactly what a plant actually needs.
Media Tool
Frame It
A totally free, offline web app for Android — not available on the Play Store. Lines up repeat shots with a ghost overlay, built for progress photos and timelapse-style sequences you can capture right from your phone.
