I build things that
solve real problems.
I'm Tyler Young — a full-stack engineer and the founder of BearDuckHornEmpire LLC, based in New York. I build AI-powered products and help small businesses automate the work that eats up their week.
Before starting BDHE, I spent years in operations and product roles at high-growth companies, where I saw the same pattern over and over: talented people wasting hours on tasks that machines could handle. Scheduling, data entry, customer follow-ups, reporting — the kind of work that's critical but repetitive.
So I started building solutions. First for myself (Motus, an AI-powered fitness app on the App Store), then for the tools I needed to run my own business (ruhrohhalp, an AI business OS), and now for other businesses facing the same bottlenecks.
My approach is simple: find the one process that wastes the most time, build an AI agent or automation to handle it, and measure the result. I do the first project free because the results speak for themselves.
