A one-person build studio
Consultants deliver decks. Dev shops ship fast without seeing the full picture.
I do both, for funded small teams. One person, one bill, four weeks.
Two ways to start
The Berg Audit
I interrogate your stack, your GTM, your team, your gaps. You get a written diagnostic that names the real problem and proposes the specific build that fixes it. Most clients learn the problem they thought they had wasn't actually the problem.
Book a Berg AuditThe Berg Build
I ship the thing the audit identified. Working software, working system, working growth surface. Handed over with the keys. 30-day post-launch support included. You only buy this after the audit, or after we've worked together before.
How the build worksFounding Builds: I am pricing the first three builds at $10,000 because I want a case study in this niche. Once three are complete, this offer goes away.
Real Work. Real Results.
Juniper Real Estate
Build: Rescue and rebuild
An agency had stalled on Juniper's site for months. I rebuilt the entire site, then shipped a data-driven content engine: 23 pages in a single week, articles ranking on Google, content cited in Perplexity, Claude, and ChatGPT. The kind of work an agency would have quoted at four to six months and never delivered.
- Rescued and rebuilt after a stalled agency engagement
- 23 pages shipped in a single week
- Articles cited in Perplexity, Claude, and ChatGPT
- Ranking on Google for competitive local terms
- Data-driven articles built on real permit records

AP Workflow Solutions
Rescue: Naming crisis, buried site, no leads
AP Workflow Solutions builds workflow automation software for broadcast companies. The department was facing a naming overhaul, a new product launch, and a website so buried in AP's corporate navigation it pulled in three leads a month on a good month. The agency hired to fix it delivered nothing. I took over the tech and strategy side: a new standalone site, contact forms placed throughout every relevant page, positioning, and SEO. AI content and automation followed. That is where the 300% lead lift came from.
- 10x ROI in 18 months
- 300% lead lift
- Lead enrichment workflow processing ~10 qualified leads per week
- Complete rebrand, repositioning, and new website
Do More Dealie
I have been a founder too.
Before Bergit, I invented a physical product, secured a U.S. Design Patent, and built the entire brand from zero. Strategy, content, social media, Shopify, global shipping. No agency. No team. I know what it costs to go from idea to shelf, and I bring that lens to every build I take on.
- $50k+ in revenue over two years, built from zero
- 36k social following from scratch
- Top 5% Shopify traffic
- U.S. Design Patent D844,228 S

Four-week build

I ship it. You get working software, full handoff, and 30 days of post-launch support.
Most founders are stuck in the same place.
A strategy consultant gave them a deck. A dev shop quoted six months for the wrong thing. Nobody on either side asked the right questions.
I'm Ryan. Most people call me Berg. I spent 20 years at the Associated Press building content systems, media workflows, and integrations at scale. Now I do both jobs, faster, as one person, for funded small teams who need someone to look at the whole picture and ship the missing piece.
More about how I workWhy Bergit Hits Different
One person, the whole picture.
You don't talk to an account manager and you don't get handed off. The person who sees the problem is the person who ships the fix. No telephone game.
The diagnosis and the build are the same job.
Most founders get a strategy deck from one vendor and a build from another. The seams are where everything fails. I do both, in sequence, as one engagement.
AI-native build velocity.
Cursor, Claude Code, and 20 years of systems experience. Four weeks of my work is what an agency quotes for four months. The work page shows it.
Funded teams only.
I work with founders who treat growth as part of the build, not something to bolt on later. Fixed prices, clear scope, no surprises on either side.
