Builder. Strategist. Problem solver.
I've spent nearly two decades turning complex technology problems into real business results. Now I'm helping small business owners figure out where AI fits, and making sure it actually works.

The short version
I'm Jeremy Buff, a technologist, designer, and builder based in Central Florida. I've been designing and building for the web since 2007, working with everyone from local startups to Fortune 500 brands.
Over the years, I've led projects for Disney, Universal, Owens Corning, Jeremiah's Italian Ice, and dozens of growing businesses across Central Florida and beyond. I've built custom platforms, managed development teams, designed brand identities, and architected systems that serve millions of users.
Why AI? Why now?
The same pattern is happening now that happened with digitization 15 years ago. Businesses that embrace AI intelligently will outpace those that don't. But most small businesses don't have a CTO, don't have an AI strategy, and don't know where to start.
That's exactly the gap I fill. I bring nearly two decades of technical expertise and business understanding to help small business owners adopt AI in ways that are practical, measurable, and sustainable. No hype. Just a clear path forward with someone who's done this before.
How I work
I don't operate like a typical contractor or advisor. When I take on a client, I become part of the team. I join your meetings, get to know your people, learn how your business actually runs, and work alongside you as if I were on staff. The goal is for the line between "our guy" and "outside help" to disappear completely.
I communicate directly, I don't pad invoices, and I don't overwhelm you with jargon. Whether it's a fractional CTO engagement, an AI integration, or a website build from scratch — you get the same level of care, transparency, and accountability.
What it's actually like to work with me.
I join your team, not your vendor list.
I'm not the person you email when something breaks. I'm in your Slack, on your calls, and in your planning sessions. My clients don't think of me as an outside contractor — I'm the technology person on their team.
You talk to me. Always.
No account managers. No junior associates doing the actual work. When you hire me, you get me — my experience, my attention, and my direct line. That's the whole point.
I learn your business before I touch your technology.
Every engagement starts with understanding — how your business runs, what your team needs, where the real friction is. I don't prescribe solutions before I understand the problem.
No long-term contracts. I earn my seat every month.
I don't lock clients into retainers they can't exit. If I'm not delivering value, you should be free to walk away. That's how I keep myself accountable — and it's why my clients stay.
I speak business, not jargon.
You'll never hear me hide behind acronyms or technical complexity. I explain things clearly, recommend what actually makes sense for your stage and budget, and make sure you understand every decision we make together.
Where I've been, what I've built.

The person behind the partnership.
I'm a husband, a father, and a Central Florida native who genuinely loves what he does. My family is a big part of why I work the way I do — I build my schedule around being present for the people who matter most, and I bring that same care and intentionality to every client relationship.
When I'm not helping businesses navigate technology, you'll probably find me spending time with my wife and kids, exploring Florida's coastline, or getting lost in a side project that nobody asked for but I couldn't resist building.
I believe the best work happens when you're working with someone you actually trust and enjoy talking to. That's the kind of relationship I try to build — not just a professional one, but a real one.
