Charlotte, North Carolina

Owen Spain.

Software engineer & founder

I build vertical operating systems — software that runs a whole business, not a slice of one. Full-stack platforms, native iOS, and AI agents that do real work: answering the phone, capturing the lead, writing the booking into the CRM.

Currently heads-down on something new.

Selected work
Stranex Solutions
founder & ceo · 2025—

Vertical-AI operating systems for service businesses. Stranex OS — a web CRM with a native iOS field app — drove a 340% lift in lead capture in its first deployment; Handsline, its autonomous AI receptionist, answers in under a second and booked 17 jobs in its first month from calls that used to ring out.

MacroCal
app store · 5.0★

Native iOS macro calculator — biometrics plus LLM meal estimation. Designed, built, and shipped solo; live on the App Store.

ArcBench
open source

A Claude-powered coding agent driven from a phone — encrypted mesh to the desktop, voice prompts, live diff streaming, per-hunk approve and reject from anywhere.

704 Pressure Washing
growth platform

The full digital engine for a 5.0★ Charlotte home-service company — site, AI instant quotes, Google Ads, and lead tracking, built and operated end-to-end.

Pantry AI
open source

Point a camera at what's in the kitchen; get recipes. LLM vision, voice capture, iCloud sync — native iOS throughout.

More in the workshop — thirteen builds, screenshots and all

In short

Building since thirteen — a custom-PC company before I could drive, then platforms, agents, and apps every year since. Eagle Scout. Mandarin speaker. I like software that earns its keep.
