Trevor Stuckless is a 433A millwright turned software builder in Dundas, Ontario, and the founder of Blue Crane Works.

Everything listed on this page was built by him.
What are Trevor Stuckless's skills?
Eight skills, each proven by something live: websites built to be found, AI and search visibility, business applications, AI features inside those applications, payments and billing, data pipelines that read hundreds of public sources, scheduling and events, and a media network with its own advertising. Each has its own page with the method, the proof and the price. Or pick a skill below to filter the builds.
- Websites built to be foundMulti-page sites written from the owner's own facts, checked by a deploy gate on every release.
- AI and search visibilityProving, crawler by crawler, that Google, Bing, ChatGPT and the rest can read a site, then fixing what cannot.
- Business applicationsSoftware that runs the work itself: job-site records, parts and stock, paper archives.
- AI featuresAI that removes one specific chore: site walks to estimates, paper to documents, websites an assistant can use.
- Payments and billingStripe subscriptions, one-time passes, donations, and platform payouts to the people on a platform.
- Data pipelinesReading hundreds of public sources on a schedule and handing back one thing a person can act on.
- Scheduling and eventsCheck-ins, calendars, rosters and maps for gyms, a festival and a members community.
- Media and advertisingSix media titles and the ad server that sells and counts every placement directly.

Can an AI assistant read this page?
Yes, and on purpose. The page is plain HTML, and the same words are served as Markdown to any tool that asks for it through standard HTTP content negotiation, or at the .md address for tools that do not. An llms.txt file lists every page. The full method, with each search and AI company's own rules linked, is on the AI and search visibility page.

How does a custom build with Trevor work?
It starts on the floor, not in a demo. Trevor watches how the job really gets done, puts the plan in writing, builds whatever wastes the most hours first, and hands over working software in small pieces that already run in the customer's own Microsoft 365 or Azure account. Nobody sits between the customer and the builder: the person on the call writes the code.
Watch the real work
Time with the people doing the job, noting the shortcuts and workarounds that never made it into a manual.
Agree the plan on paper
A written scope naming what will exist, which tools it talks to and which ones it retires, signed off before building.
Fix the costliest chore first
Order the work by hours saved, so the first thing delivered pays for itself soonest.
Ship small, ship often
Each piece arrives working, in an account the customer owns, so the code and the data were never anyone else's.
Who is Trevor Stuckless?
Before any software, Trevor spent more than eighteen years as a 433A millwright, working in plants and factories and on renovation and maintenance crews. The software came from that work: Blue Crane Works, incorporated in Ontario in 2026, started as the job-site system he wished he had had, and he still builds and supports every product it sells himself.
Home is Dundas, Ontario, with his wife and their three kids. The company has its own site at bluecraneworks.ca; this one is his.
