Build systems that work, quietly.
Kazuya Hibara — Automate & Augment
Workflow improvement, quietly engineered.
I am a workflow improvement consultant and AI implementation engineer for solo founders and micro-corporations. The work begins by listening — to operations, to constraints, to the parts that already work — and ends with a system that runs without ceremony.
Principles
How I work
Four commitments held across every engagement. They are not aspirations; they are the constraints I refuse to negotiate.
Transparency
Every phase, every price, every dependency disclosed up front. Nothing hidden in the back of the engagement.
Augmentation
I do not replace people. I extend what is already working — quietly, in the background, on shifts the founder no longer has to keep.
Pragmatism
The work is real systems delivered to production, not abstract advice. Nothing leaves my desk that does not run.
Empathy
I came up as a non-engineer and built the road myself. The framing of the problem is in the operator’s language, not the engineer’s.
Work
Selected work
A small portfolio, intentionally. Each case is a system that is currently running — not a pitch deck.
Multi-Tenant MEO SaaS for Inbound-Heavy Retail
A production multi-tenant SaaS automating Google Business Profile operations for inbound-heavy retail and F&B chains.
Practice management for a solo tax accountant
60 hours / month recovered. Invoice collection 78 % → 95 %. Capacity for 12 new clients without hiring.
A short conversation is enough.
Bring the workflow you would describe to a new hire. I listen for thirty minutes, identify where automation pays back, and decide together what to build first.
