About Me

I'm Joseph Santeford — a 20-year-old self-taught AI engineer and builder based in Sarasota, FL. I got into software by building things I needed, not by following a curriculum. Everything I know came from shipping real products to real users.

My focus is at the intersection of AI, automation, and business growth. I build SaaS platforms, lead gen systems, automation pipelines, and paid media funnels — then I run them. I don't just write code; I understand what it takes to get customers and generate revenue.

I've shipped 9+ products, managed $24,000+ in Google Ads spend, sent 5,000+ personalized AI-written SMS messages, and processed 10k+ records a week through custom enrichment pipelines. I build fast and I ship.

Right now I'm actively growing SuncoastLeads — a permit-data-powered lead gen platform for Florida contractors — while building new products and taking on select client work.
