About me
Hi, I'm Rachel Brouzes, a full-stack web developer with a background in finance and a passion for building thoughtful, effective digital experiences. Before transitioning into tech, I spent a decade at Bank of America, where I developed expertise in project management, systems administration, and process optimization. That experience shaped the way I approach development—with precision, accountability, and a strong focus on client needs.
After ten years in the financial sector, I returned to college to pursue software development, earning my degree with a 4.0 GPA. That academic journey reflects my commitment to excellence and continuous learning—qualities I bring to every project.
Today, I partner with small businesses to design and build websites that are not only functional and user-friendly but also aligned with their goals. I believe in clean code, clear communication, and creating tools that help clients grow and thrive.
Outside of development, I'm also a yoga teacher and personal trainer. These roles keep me grounded and remind me of the importance of flexibility—both in body and in mindset—which I carry into my work with clients.
If you're a small business owner ready to elevate your online presence, I'd love to help bring your vision to life.

Frequently Asked Questions
What would you like to know?
1. How long does it take to build a website?
Typically, it takes around 30-60 days to complete a website from start to finish, depending on client volume. This can vary slightly depending on the project’s complexity and how quickly I receive feedback and content from you. I keep you in the loop every step of the way!
2. Will I be able to make changes to my website after it’s done?
Yes! I don’t just build your website and disappear—I teach you how to make updates on your own. Whether it's editing content, adding blog posts, or swapping images, you’ll have the tools and guidance to keep things fresh without needing a developer every time.
3. Can you help me get a domain name and hosting?
Absolutely. I’ll walk you through the process of choosing and purchasing your domain name and web hosting, step by step. I’ll explain everything in plain English—no tech jargon overload.
4. What can I expect from your SEO services?
I include SEO optimization as part of every project. I use a variety of tools to improve your site's visibility on search engines—everything from optimizing page structure and loading speed to fine-tuning keywords, meta descriptions, and image tags. The goal? A site that not only looks great but actually gets found.
5. What’s included in your AI agents & automation services?
We start with a discovery call to map your biggest time drains, then design and build custom agent workflows connected to your tools—invoice follow-ups, onboarding sequences, reporting, and more. You approve what runs automatically; I help you evolve the system as your business changes. For details and examples, see our AI Agents page.
