Richard Sawatsky’s F*cked Up Journey

Thanks for watching. Want to know what happened next?

💥 Born From Chaos

I didn’t build Alfred in a lab. I built him from a McDonald's booth with 20GB of space on a $0 laptop while living in a homeless shelter.

I wasn’t trying to impress investors. I was trying to survive.

Every line of code was a middle finger to gatekeeping, burnout, and bullshit. Alfred wasn’t born from privilege — he was engineered by necessity. A lean, local-first AI that doesn’t forget the user. That remembers what matters.

This isn't a tech story. It's a survival blueprint.

And it worked.

🤖 What I Built

• Alfred: My orchestration layer. He routes AI tasks, remembers context, and helps automate business logic like no chatbot ever could. He’s the mind behind the machine.
• ZolaPress: A blazing-fast publishing platform for small business. Static site generator meets full automation layer. No WordPress. No bloat. Just clean, editable systems.

These aren’t just tools. They’re the result of burning down everything that didn’t work — and rebuilding with precision.

Whether you’re a nonprofit, small business, or solo creator… if you’re serious, I can help you launch faster than most funded teams.
