Gilliom Frontline Digital

Automate the work that slows your operation down.

Fleet operations, logistics and back-office workflows still run on spreadsheets, WhatsApp and paper. I replace one of those workflows with working software in a fixed-price, two-week pilot, built on systems that are already live.

Fixed-price automation pilot

From $750

Pick one workflow that costs your team time or money. I scope it, build it on an existing working system, and hand it to your team in two weeks. If it does not show you something your current process misses, you walk away.

Request a pilot
  1. 15-minute call

    We pick one workflow and agree what success looks like.

  2. Fixed scope and price

    Written scope before any work starts. No hourly surprises.

  3. Two-week pilot

    Your team uses it on real data, not a slide deck.

  4. Keep, extend or walk away

    Implementation and monthly support only if the pilot earns it.

Portfolio

Selected flagship projects

Each card is a deployed app on Railway — open the demo, read the stack, inspect GitHub where published. Live Stripe webhooks, JWT + RBAC, and honest status (shipped vs. sandbox vs. in progress) match what the repos document.

Founder background

Veteran discipline applied to production software

The differentiator is the combination: U.S. Army veteran (JST-documented service), FAA-certified air traffic control, TCOLE Master Police Officer (Texas) with Washington State equivalency, and full-stack engineering with QA discipline — applied to 13 deployed applications.

  • U.S. Army veteran — service documented on Joint Services Transcript (JST); FAA-certified air traffic control and electronics maintenance.
  • TCOLE Master Police Officer (Texas); Washington State law-enforcement equivalency certificate. Former Military Police, Waco PD, and Dallas PD.
  • Solo builder of production applications — requirements through Railway production.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does an automation pilot cost?

Pilots start from $750 for one workflow. You get a written scope and fixed price before any work starts, so there are no hourly surprises.

How long does a pilot take?

Two weeks. Your team uses the pilot on real data, not a slide deck.

What happens after the pilot?

You decide whether to keep it, extend it or walk away. Implementation and monthly support are offered only if the pilot earns it.

What does a larger project cost?

Larger builds are quoted at $40/hr, with a written estimate (scoped hours × $40) before work begins. Fixed-scope packages run from Starter at $2,000–$3,000 (2–3 weeks) to Premium at $8,000–$12,000 (8–12 weeks).

What kinds of workflows do you automate?

Three areas: fleet and logistics (trip sheets, fuel accountability, maintenance follow-up, driver records, dispatch), agribusiness payments (supplier deliveries matched to payments and reconciliation), and general business automation (replacing a spreadsheet or manual process with an internal dashboard, API integration or AI workflow).

What technology do you build with?

React and TypeScript front ends, Django or FastAPI APIs, PostgreSQL, Docker and GitHub Actions CI, deployed on Railway. Stripe handles billing where payments are needed.

Do you work with clients outside Florida?

Yes. I am a U.S. citizen based in Kampala, Uganda, and I work remotely with clients worldwide. Call (656) 245-5253, message on WhatsApp, or email barney@gilliomfrontlinedigital.com.

Can I see working software before I hire you?

Yes. The portfolio links to live demos running on Railway, with case studies for RigHand AI, DBOps Control Center, AgriPay and AI Software Operations Studio.

Have one workflow you would like off spreadsheets?

Tell me what it is and how your team handles it today. I will come back with a fixed scope and price for a two-week pilot. Larger builds are quoted at $40/hr with a written estimate.
