Who you'll work with
I'm Alex Sands. I build and run web, cloud, and automation systems for small businesses, and I work directly with every client. No handoffs, no account managers.
What I Do
S&S Technologies is a full-stack technical practice. I build websites, design cloud systems, and automate workflows. What sets me apart? I operate what I build. I run an independent software studio on cost-optimized infrastructure.
Systems I Run in Production
I don't just advise; I build. I run live production systems handling real traffic and business operations. This includes automated code workflows and content systems. When you work with me, you get capabilities validated in production, not just theory.
Build, Host, and Upkeep
From initial strategy to implementation to ongoing optimization, I handle the build, hosting, and upkeep so you don't need an in-house developer. Need a modern website with optimized hosting? Cloud architecture review and cost optimization? AI workflows to reduce operational overhead? Strategic technical advisory? I offer three ways to work together: a one-time strategy session, an ongoing retainer, or a fixed-scope custom project.
Services I Offer
From professional websites to cloud infrastructure. Choose the services you need, engage how you prefer.
Professional web presence with optimized hosting
Modern, responsive websites with performance-optimized deployment pipelines. Custom design or template-based, I handle design, development, hosting setup, and deployment. Built with mobile-first principles and Core Web Vitals optimization. Perfect for businesses needing professional web presence without the complexity.
AWS certified infrastructure design and cost optimization
Cost-optimized cloud architecture leveraging AWS best practices. I design infrastructure that stays lean, so you pay for what you use and nothing else. Architecture reviews, infrastructure implementation, cost optimization, and scalability planning.
Reduce costs with smart automation
Implement AI workflows that handle repetitive tasks. From GitHub automation to content generation, I build systems that reduce overhead. I use an 80/20 strategy: local AI for routine tasks, cloud AI for complex work.
Fractional CTO and technical advisory services
Strategic technical guidance for growing companies. Weekly calls to guide architecture decisions, technology selection, and implementation priorities. Fractional CTO services providing technical leadership without full-time overhead. From architecture review to vendor selection to team guidance, I help you make technical decisions with confidence.
Full-stack custom development, designed and deployed
Custom web applications, automation systems, and infrastructure built to your specifications. Full-stack implementation from design to deployment with documentation and handoff. Whether you need a custom web app, business automation system, or specialized infrastructure. I design it, build it, test it, and hand it off production-ready.
Pre-built automation and workflow packs
Pre-built automation templates available in the S&S Technologies store for teams with technical resources. GitHub automation workflows, restaurant operations templates, email-to-task systems, and more. Deploy immediately with setup instructions and customization guidance drawn from my own production use.

- Problem
- Their website needed a redesign and someone to keep it running.
- What I built
- Website redesign, deployment, hosting, and ongoing updates.
"I recently hired S&S Technologies to re-design and deploy a new website for my small company. Alex, the owner, was very responsive to our initial needs, and at my request, was extremely creative and in providing us with innovative designs. The whole process from design to deployment was very professional, timely, and personal. The end result is a site that exceeded all of our expectations and has already become a key tool in our business operations. S&S Technologies continues to provide hosting services for our site and is now part of our preferred IT vendor list. We will definitely use them for many more of our IT needs moving forward. I highly recommend S&S Technologies as a trusted partner."
