Running your business shouldn't mean drowning in it
This is what a week feels like for most owners.
The average owner loses a third of their week to tasks like these.
I take them off your plate.
See what I'd build for you
Hi, I'm Thayne.
I run IronForge Automations out of Laramie, Wyoming. I save small businesses time, money, and headaches by automating the repetitive tasks that eat up their week.
How it works
I learn your business
Not a form. I show up and watch how the work actually gets done.
I find the time-eaters
The tasks that repeat every day, eat your week, and give nothing back.
I shrink or delete them
Code and AI, built to fit how you already work. Not the other way around.
That last step is where it gets interesting. Keep scrolling and I'll show you a real one you can touch, then what it costs.
What I Do
Some people want to learn the tools. Some people want the tool built. Both are right. Which are you?
I want to learn it.
Hands-on with you and your team, on your real work.
I want it built.
A tool made to fit how you already work, handed over ready to use.
Plenty of people start in one lane and end up in the other. Either way it begins with a conversation.
Don't Take My Word for It. Touch One.
A real build for The Cowboy Saloon in downtown Laramie. You're on Door 1. Door 2 is live too.
A packed bar, and a number nobody knew
Over capacity is a lawsuit. Under it is turned-away money. The fix was one number both doors could trust, on the phones the bouncers already carry.

The owner's view: entries by hour
Simulated nightBusiest hour: 10pm. Every tap at the door is timestamped, so the owner schedules bartenders against when people actually show up, not gut feel.

“We had the pleasure of working with Thayne during his internship with Manufacturing Works, where he took on the ambitious project of designing and developing an AI chatbot for our website. From day one, Thayne demonstrated a strong grasp of AI and machine learning concepts, along with an impressive ability to work independently and drive solutions forward. Thayne not only delivered a fully functional and well-integrated chatbot that aligned with our organizational goals, but he also brought creativity, technical precision, and a deep understanding of user experience to the project. His work significantly improved how we use our website to engage with manufacturers and clients online, by providing timely information and streamlining inquiries through an intuitive, responsive interface. Throughout the project, Thayne was professional, proactive, and collaborative. He regularly communicated progress, incorporated feedback thoughtfully, and ensured the final product exceeded our expectations. His contributions have made a lasting impact on our digital presence, and we are incredibly grateful for his work. I wholeheartedly recommend Thayne and his company to any organization looking for a capable, innovative, and dedicated developer.”

“I've really enjoyed working with the IronForge team. They made the automation process simple and approachable, even for someone who's not a tech expert. The tools they built made a noticeable impact on how we manage operations.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ IronForge has been a game-changer for us! They developed a custom lighting system that not only saves time but also ensures our light shows aren't just repeating themselves night after night. It's added a level of professionalism and variety that really elevates the experience at our bar. They also streamlined our end-of-night reporting process by creating a spreadsheet system that automatically compiles our data, no more manually inputting numbers every day. Our accountant can now easily access and review the reports, saving us both time and headaches. IronForge has been responsive, innovative, and truly understands how to make tech work for a business like ours. Highly recommend!”
