Built the client instinct early
I started a computer repair and IT business at 14 and grew it to more than 500 clients before finishing high school. That taught me to diagnose the real problem, explain technology plainly, and own the outcome.
About Hunter Sneed
I translate business problems into technical systems. Then I stay for the implementation.
I’m an AI and automation implementation expert with more than a decade of experience building production systems. I founded Workflowsy to do the work and Getting Automated to teach businesses how to think about it.

The throughline
Technology is only useful when it changes the operation.
I have spent my career working across the line that usually divides the room: business leaders describing what is broken and technical teams deciding what can be built.
I understand the financial and operational consequence first. Then I can go deep on architecture, APIs, data pipelines, AI behavior, security, observability, and the unglamorous production details that determine whether the system earns trust.
Went deep on production systems
I moved from fixing individual computers to architecture, cloud infrastructure, security, automation, and enterprise AI—the work that has to survive real users, real constraints, and real scrutiny.
Specialized in the gap most teams struggle with
The hardest AI projects are rarely pure technology projects. They require someone who can understand the business process and still go deep enough to build the technical system properly.
My actual specialty
Business-forward leadership with technical depth underneath it.
Business workflow design
Finding the decision, bottleneck, handoff, or repeated task where technology creates measurable leverage.
Data and systems architecture
Connecting the source systems, defining reliable business context, and designing the foundation AI depends on.
AI and automation implementation
Building the workflows, integrations, applications, controls, monitoring, and handoff required for production.

I also have strong opinions about Chicago.
The personal part of this site is mostly tavern-style pizza, neighborhood recommendations, and a refusal to pretend deep dish is what Chicagoans eat every week.
