Everything you want to know about Claude Code & AI implementation in Vancouver

Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic AI coding tool. Unlike a chatbot, it runs directly in your terminal and can autonomously write code, edit files, run commands, browse the web, and build entire working applications from start to finish — without you copy-pasting anything. It's the difference between asking someone to describe a car and having someone actually build you one.

A lot. Real examples from this site: a 17,000-business directory with user accounts and payments (InfoSylvita), an automated job board that scrapes 14 sources daily, lead generation pipelines, competitor intelligence systems, review response bots, client onboarding flows, AI daily briefing emails, and custom dashboards. If it involves data, automation, or a web interface — Claude Code can likely build it.

ChatGPT generates text responses and can write code snippets you then have to copy, paste, debug, and deploy yourself. Claude Code is agentic — it takes actions. It reads your actual files, writes and edits code, runs terminal commands, installs packages, fixes errors, and ships a working product. It's a builder, not a chatbot.

That's me — Alejandro Arce. I've been building with Claude Code since its early release. Every project on this site was built with it. I use it daily to ship real systems for real businesses in Vancouver and remotely worldwide. If you're looking for someone in Vancouver who actually builds with Claude Code — not just someone who's heard of it — I'm your person.

For most small business use cases, yes. Claude Code combined with an experienced consultant can build production-ready tools at a fraction of the cost and time of a full-time developer. For large-scale products with complex requirements, it works best as a force multiplier alongside a dev team. Either way, the economics are dramatically better than traditional development.

Three options: a free 30-minute discovery call where you get 3–5 actionable ideas whether we work together or not. A $200 strategy & implementation session — 90 minutes of focused Claude Code work on your specific business. Or a $2,000/month retainer for ongoing AI and marketing partnership. Custom project quotes after the discovery call.

Most prototypes: 48 hours. Simple automations: same session. Complex apps with databases and user accounts: 2–5 days. The average agency takes 30 days just to send a proposal. With Claude Code, we skip all of that and start building immediately.

30 minutes to understand your business. You'll leave with 3–5 specific AI and automation ideas you can act on immediately — whether we end up working together or not. No pitch deck, no upsell pressure. Just useful ideas. Book it here →

Yes — the $200 strategy & implementation session comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you don't find it valuable, you don't pay. Simple as that.

Not at all. You describe the problem and the result you want — I handle all the building with Claude Code. Most clients are business owners, marketers, and solopreneurs with zero coding background. You just need to know your business.

Solopreneurs, local Vancouver businesses, marketing agencies, real estate agents, fitness studios, e-commerce stores, growing startups, and anyone who has a manual process eating their time. The common thread: they want things built, not just consulted on.

Yes. I'm based in Vancouver, BC but work with clients remotely worldwide. All sessions over video call, all deliverables shared digitally. Available in English, Spanish, and French.

Discovery call → I understand the problem → we scope a solution → I build it with Claude Code, usually showing you progress live → you get a working product, the code, and a walkthrough of how it works. No mystery box, no long waits. You see it being built.

Core stack: Claude Code (Anthropic) for building, Supabase for databases, Resend for email, Vercel or GitHub Pages for hosting, Google Sheets for lightweight data storage. APIs vary by project — Telegram, LinkedIn, Google Maps, Stripe, and more. The right tools for the job, not a rigid stack forced on every client.

Yes. Everything built for you is yours. You get the full source code, deployed to your accounts and infrastructure. No vendor lock-in, no ongoing dependency on me to keep the lights on (unless you want the retainer for ongoing work).

Yes. Claude Code is excellent at reading existing codebases and extending them. Bring your existing website, tool, or half-finished project — we can pick it up from wherever it is.

Yes, when built by someone who knows what they're doing. Claude Code is a tool — the quality of what it produces depends heavily on the expertise of the person directing it. All code is reviewed, tested, and deployed with proper security practices. The live projects on this site (including a paid SaaS product with real users) are proof.
