Software Developer · Product Builder · Automation Systems

I came to software through business problems—not theory alone.

I’m Cary Wood, a software developer and product builder with more than 13 years of experience across sales, marketing, client delivery, paid acquisition, CRM operations and workflow automation.

That background shapes how I build: understand the operation, model the system clearly, create the smallest useful product, test it and keep improving it.

Experience 13+ years across sales, marketing, systems and growth
Current Role Software developer, product builder and automation systems designer
Primary Stack Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, Hotwire and Stimulus
Based In Navi Mumbai, India · working internationally

The Background Advantage

Business Before Code

I spent years inside the workflows software is supposed to improve.

Before building software products, I worked across sales, digital marketing, media buying, funnel development, client delivery and CRM implementation. Much of that work involved US-based clients, performance campaigns and systems that had to produce measurable outcomes.

I learned where leads get lost, why teams stop using tools, how poor permissions create operational risk, and why a technically correct system can still fail when it does not match the way people actually work.

From Systems User to Product Builder

01

Sales, Marketing & Client Delivery

Built practical experience around customer acquisition, positioning, campaign strategy, conversion and communicating with clients and teams.

02

CRM, Automation & Growth Operations

Designed funnels, pipelines, follow-up systems and GoHighLevel workflows connecting campaigns with the operational work after a lead is generated.

03

Software Engineering

Moved from configuring platforms to modelling domains, writing application code, integrating external services and testing connected product workflows.

04

Building Products & Automation Systems

Created LeadsTrackr, LeadMath, HookScribe and Hammer Flow around operational problems I understand firsthand rather than building disconnected portfolio exercises.

Service-Led Automation Initiative · 34 Validated Blueprints

Hammer Flow

An MSP automation initiative covering HF-001 through HF-034: 34 validated reference implementations across service delivery, finance, security, growth, people, data, engineering and other operational functions. The blueprints use deterministic-first, read-only-first and human-gated design principles.

How I Work

01

Understand the Operation

Start with the people, business rules, handoffs, risks and result the system needs to support.

02

Model the System

Define clear entities, account boundaries, permissions, states and workflows before adding interface complexity.

03

Build in Safe Batches

Implement one connected capability at a time with deliberate browser checks, automated tests and clean checkpoints.

04

Improve Through Use

Treat the first working version as the beginning of the feedback loop, not the end of product development.

Current Focus

What I’m Deepening Now

Full-stack product development with a strong operational foundation.

I’m continuing to develop LeadsTrackr, prepare LeadMath for deployment, refine focused tools such as HookScribe and develop Hammer Flow as a service-led MSP automation portfolio. Current work combines maintainable Rails architecture, multi-tenant CRM systems, API integration, workflow automation, deterministic business rules and controlled AI assistance.

Ruby on Rails Domain modelling, service objects, authorization and testing
PostgreSQL Relational design, constraints and multi-tenant data boundaries
Hotwire & Stimulus Responsive product interfaces with focused JavaScript
APIs & Integrations n8n, PSA and RMM systems, OpenAI, media processing and external services
Product Architecture Permissions, workflows, platform hierarchy and extensibility
Workflow & Growth Systems CRM, operational automation, websites, funnels, tracking and acquisition
