Grounded in operations.
Extending into systems.

Richard works at the intersection of business, technology, and AI. His background in business operations has developed a strong foundation in organization, client communication, problem‑solving, and managing information accurately in fast‑moving environments.

As co‑owner of Basswick, he applies that foundation to building digital solutions for businesses. His work includes website design and development, AI‑powered automations, digital advertising, lead‑generation systems, and workflows designed to help businesses operate and grow more efficiently.

He actively works with emerging AI and development tools including ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Codex, and Higgsfield, using them as practical tools for research, development, automation, creative production, and rapid experimentation.

Richard is currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Business Analytics with AI at Florida International University, combining his interest in business with a growing technical skill set. His goal is to continue developing at the intersection of business analytics, artificial intelligence, automation, and digital technology.

Problem

Many small businesses need a modern web presence and working marketing systems but don't have the time, budget, or technical background to build them.

Solution

Basswick handles website design and development, AI‑assisted automation, and paid ad management end‑to‑end, so owners can focus on running their business.

More projects will be added here as they're ready to share publicly — client names, results, and links are only shown once confirmed.

Approach and responsibilities reflect direct, hands‑on involvement. Client names and project metrics are withheld pending confirmation — see verification notes.

Why This Opportunity
