The Studio
I'm Daniel Watson.
I build from problems I've stood in.
Before I wrote a line of code, I ran heavy-civil projects, pulled permits as a licensed general contractor, and managed work for architecture firms across Texas. That's the whole difference here — I don't design software from a whiteboard. I build it from problems I've actually stood in the middle of: on jobsites, in clinics, on the phone closing deals.
The Watson Factor turns that field experience into custom AI and software that earns its keep from day one. Computer-vision for jobsites and clinics, operating systems for trades, tools that do real work instead of demos.
Built by someone who's had to make the business it serves actually run.
