About Me
Bridging business challenges with technology solutions through honesty and expertise
Lawrence Bark
Automation & Technology Specialist
My Story
I started on this journey while working in sales at an attorney's office as an ops manager and salesperson. I realized there were things that just lacked in the office—from sales processes, intake calls, scripts, and operational workflows. There, I was able to build automations that helped the firm, and it blossomed from there.
I got into tech and learned app architecture (not formally) to understand how things work. That's how I'm able to dissect processes today—combining my operational background with technical understanding to find solutions that actually work. Check out some examples of my work.
My Philosophy
"I want to bring technology to small businesses to help them on the small things so they can focus on the big things. That's how you grow, and that's how I try to help my clients. It's what they need, not what I need. If they only need a Zapier automation but want an app, I'll tell them about the Zapier automation first. There's no reason to spend a ton of money on something that can be fixed with a small monthly fee to an automation company."

Frequently Asked Questions
I work primarily with small to mid-sized businesses across various industries including legal (law firms), healthcare, finance, and startups. My sweet spot is businesses that are growing but struggling with manual processes that take up too much time.
It depends on the scope. Simple automations using tools like Zapier or Make.com can be set up within a week. More complex custom software projects typically take 4-12 weeks. I always start with quick wins that can show results in days while we work on larger initiatives.
Not at all. My job is to translate your business needs into technical solutions. I explain everything in plain language and focus on the business outcomes rather than the tech jargon. You just need to know your business challenges—I'll handle the rest.
I offer both project-based pricing and ongoing retainer arrangements depending on your needs. Project pricing is scoped after an initial discovery call where we identify your challenges. I'm always transparent about costs and will recommend the most cost-effective solution, even if it means less work for me.
My background in operations means I understand business processes from the inside, not just the technical side. I practice radical honesty—if you only need a simple Zapier workflow instead of a custom app, I'll tell you. My goal is to find the smallest changes that create the biggest impact.
How I Work
The approach depends on the scope of the project. For larger projects, there are multiple meetings and update sessions. I try to stay in contact with my clients throughout the entire process.
Normally, I identify a few quick wins that some automation can solve so the client has more time to focus on their business and the work we do together.
Support depends on what they need. I've had clients that don't need my help anymore after the initial build, and I've had some that keep me with them because we work well together.
What makes me different? I have a way of solving small "problems" that have big results. I thrive on finding solutions that are the easiest fix. I can create super complex solutions, but most of the time that's not what's needed to create the breathing room a client needs to be present during the big project.
