Carmelo Spano' - AI Automation for SMBs & Startups

I'm a self-taught Python developer and B2B Saas founder specializing in AI-powered automations. I bootstrapped DeliveryByte (saving restaurants $1,700+/mo via LLM workflows), and now I'm bringing custom AI solutions to a wider range of SMBs and startups. Formerly scaled Reef Technology UK from 2 to 100+ dark kitchens and led early-stage VC deals at SFC Capital (selected VC deals I led/contributed to).

I recharge my batteries by playing local tennis tournaments. My ITF World Tennis Number is 31.1 (~4.16 UTR).
