Carson Bates

I build the automation systems small businesses actually run on.

Co-founder of CB Automation Solutions. I design, build, and deploy AI-driven workflows and production web apps — from the first client conversation to the live system.

10+ production automations

Workflows running daily for my own agency — lead scoring, follow-up sequences, monitoring, and reporting, all AI-driven.

About

I'm the co-founder of CB Automation Solutions, where I build AI automation and full-stack software for small businesses — the kind of company that doesn't have an engineering team, so the system has to just work.

Before automation, I spent years in direct sales and CRM-driven service businesses (automotive, home security, veterans services), which means I scope a build by understanding the business problem first, not just the technical spec.

I run every engagement personally: discovery call, build, deploy, and the walkthrough that makes sure it actually gets used.
