Here’s what changes when the work stops routing through you.
-
Today, every question finds its way to your desk.
The quote waiting on your approval. The crew schedule that changed again. The Friday report someone builds by hand. None of it is hard. It all just needs you.

In a Walkthrough, I follow the work through the business.
You and your team show me how it really happens. I write down where it gets stuck and why, using names you’ll recognize, and send you a report within three business days, including where I’d start.
Eight ways I see work get stuck -
Then I build what fixes it.
Tools shaped around how your business already works: the report assembles itself, approvals reach the right person, the schedule updates everyone. Your team does better work, faster, and growth stops meaning another hire.
What I build
Whatever the Walkthrough turns up, the fix usually looks like one of these: built around your business and tested with the people who’ll use it.
-
Connected tools
Your CRM, calendar, and accounting share what they know, so nobody copies it between them.
-
Internal tools
The spreadsheet everyone keeps open becomes software that fits the job.
-
Client portals
Clients check status, send files, and approve work without calling you.
-
Reports that build themselves
The Friday report is ready before anyone asks for it.
-
Follow-up on time
Reminders, invoices, and check-ins go out when they should, not when someone remembers.
-
AI-assisted work, reviewed by people
Drafting, sorting, and summarizing that your team checks before anything goes out.
It starts with a free Walkthrough.
No software brief needed. Bring one process that’s harder than it should be.

The Walkthrough
Free · about an hour
You and your team show me the work, on a video call or in person. If you want to talk about hiring me, you’ll bring it up, not me.
-
The report
Free · within three business days
What’s getting in the way, what I’d change, and where I’d start. Yours to keep, whatever you decide.
-
The build
Scoped together
If you want my help, we agree on scope and schedule first. I build it and test it with the people who’ll use it. Implementation is a separate purchase.
-
Care
Optional
You get a working system, documentation, and training. I can stay involved as your team settles in and the business changes.
Craft & Communicate
Finding performance numbers by hand was part of the agency’s reporting work. I built a client-facing reporting platform with client management and live-updating data: something the agency can offer its customers.
Read about the work
Hi, I’m Nick Cannariato. Most people call me Birdcar.
Cannariato sounds like “canary auto”: a bird and a car. The nickname has stuck for more than twenty years.
I’ve spent fifteen years building customer-facing technical systems: internal tools, solutions engineering, and a software business of my own. Some of that work was for GitHub, Heroku, and Zapier. Now I bring what works inside those companies to businesses that don’t have an engineering team.
When you work with me, you work with me. No account managers, no handoffs.
Show me the part that keeps landing on your desk.
You don’t need a software brief. Bring one example of work that takes more than it should. The hour is about your work, not a pitch.
