Sacred Lantern Studio
AI that ships in
two weeks, not two quarters.
No decks, no pilots that go nowhere. I build the working system: AI assistants, content pipelines, data automation, payments — designed, built, deployed and handed over by one person who is accountable for the outcome.
Fixed-scope quotes or day rate. First engagement can be split into two phases so you validate before committing.
Support can't keep up
The same question answered fifty times a day, and nobody on at 2am. An assistant that reads your docs and escalates when unsure cuts that in half.
Content isn't shipping
Ten posts a week written by hand until it stops. Turn research, drafting and cross-platform rewrites into a pipeline — humans approve, machines produce.
Data moves by hand
Export from the dashboard, paste into a sheet, forward to a group. That whole loop can run itself, and it stops making transcription errors.
Services
Four things I do well. Prices are starting points; scope decides the rest.
AI feature integration
from$1,200You want an AI assistant, smart search, or automated content — but nobody on the team has shipped one.
- ·Requirements doc: inputs, outputs, failure modes
- ·Working frontend + backend module
- ·Prompt templates and context assembly you can edit
- ·Cost control: timeouts, retries, fallbacks, token caps
- ·Call logging and error monitoring
- ·Deployment + 1-hour handover recording
Timeline: 7–12 business days
A site that takes payments
from$2,500You have something to sell and need the whole chain: site, checkout, delivery.
- ·10–30 responsive pages
- ·Content layer you can edit yourself
- ·Stripe Checkout + success page + email delivery
- ·Transactional email: receipt, delivery, refund
- ·Technical SEO: sitemap, structured data, OG cards

Timeline: 15–25 business days
Technical SEO audit & fix
from$400The site is six months old, you publish regularly, and search traffic just isn't coming.
- ·Search Console index status, cause by cause
- ·Full crawl: content length, duplication, canonical, status codes
- ·Issue list ranked by impact, each with evidence
- ·Fixes implemented: SSR, duplicate consolidation, schema
- ·Before/after report
Timeline: 5–10 business days
Automation pipeline
from$900Someone spends hours a day on repetitive work: scraping, spreadsheets, cross-posting.
- ·Process mapping: what happens now, where it stalls
- ·Scraping / sync scripts with retry and dedupe
- ·Scheduled runs and result storage
- ·Notifications via email, Slack or Telegram
- ·Monitoring and alerting when a run fails
- ·Runbook for your team
Timeline: 7–15 business days
Case
A live product, built and run by one person
No client case studies yet — so here is the site you are reading. Every line of code, every deploy, every payment callback on it was done by the same person. It is also the honest sample: what I ship for myself is what I ship for you.
Sacred Lantern Studio
live site ↗A bilingual (EN/CN) technical services site with four self-built tools, a content system and a digital storefront. Architecture, implementation, payments and operations all done solo.

- · Stripe Checkout with webhook-driven automated delivery
- · Order state machine: pending → paid → delivered → failed
- · Hong Kong VPS, Caddy reverse proxy, PM2, automatic SSL
SEO results
- · Core pages moved from client-only to server-rendered content
- · First HTML payload 46 → 2,254 characters
- · Duplicate topic clusters consolidated; legacy content retired with 410
- · Sitewide structured data plus llms.txt for AI engines
- · Self-built scanner reports 100 / 100 for this site
An implementation record — evidence of process and code, not a revenue claim.
Stack
How it works
01
Diagnose
I look at what you have and send back a one-page list of what is actually broken.
02
Scope
Fixed range, timeline and acceptance criteria in writing before anything starts.
03
Build
Weekly progress, working software each week — not a reveal at the end.
04
Ship
Deploy, handover recording, 30 days of free bug fixes.
Store
Things I built, packaged so you can just use them
Templates and scripts I actually run. No courses, no memberships, no upsells. Each one ships as a working, downloadable package.
site-audit CLI ($19) · Next.js + Stripe Starter ($49)
Describe the problem first. We'll talk price after.
Send me your situation and what you are trying to fix. I'll tell you whether it is worth building, roughly what it costs, and whether there is a cheaper way. If I am not the right fit, I will say so.
