A decade
writing software.
Now building AI.
I'm Mike Sewell. For ten years I've built websites, tools, and AI for businesses and nonprofits, and I make AI media on the side. Co-Founder at Automate Impact. Technical Advisor at Quantum Academy AI.
An Applied AI Engineer, still building.
I'm Mike. For the last ten years I've built software for a living, websites, internal tools, and the behind-the-scenes systems that take work people do by hand and turn it into something that runs on its own. These days most of it is built with AI.
I also make AI media: short videos with AI hosts and voices, logos, flyers, and generative design. If you've seen something I made and wondered how it was done, that's usually the answer. Same skill set, different kind of project.
I co-founded Automate Impact, a veteran-owned firm that helps nonprofits and foundations put technology to work, and I advise on AI at Quantum Academy AI. I hold a B.S. in Web Design & Development and an M.S. in Digital Marketing from Full Sail, where I graduated Salutatorian, and I'm a U.S. Army veteran. More than any of that, I've built a lot of different things for a lot of different people, and that range is the real edge.
AI Tools & Automation
Custom AI tools that actually do something useful. Assistants that answer questions from your own documents, tools that draft and summarize, and AI that handles repetitive work, built to be reliable, not just a demo.
- AI assistants trained on your information
- Tools that draft, summarize, and answer
- AI that handles repetitive tasks
- Built to be accurate and dependable
Websites & Software
Websites and custom tools, built well. Public sites people actually use, internal dashboards for your team, and connecting the apps you already have so they work together.
- Websites and web apps
- Internal tools and dashboards
- Connecting your existing apps
- Automating manual, repetitive work
Brand & Marketing
The look, and the growth behind it. Logos, flyers, and a consistent brand, plus the marketing and analytics setup that shows what's working and helps the right people find you.
- Logos, flyers, and brand identity
- Marketing and email setup
- Analytics that show what's working
- Turning visitors into action
Quest Collective TV
An AI-powered news channel I produce end to end. The hosts, voices, video, and graphics are all made with AI. It's a working example of what AI media can do.
Brand and flyer systems
Logos, flyers, and brand kits I design with an AI-assisted process, so they are fast to produce and easy to reuse.
