I build systems for local businesses · Bilingual · Based in Coachella Valley
I'm Sadrac. I build custom software for small businesses in the Coachella Valley: the tools you actually need to run your operation without losing your evenings to paperwork.
What I'm doing now
UC San Diego alumni (Data Science). Working as a systems designer: PostgreSQL schemas, role-based dashboards, automation, Next.js apps. On the side I run Santacruz Premium Bartending, and I'm about to start publishing video content from inside the business.
Real systems. Real organizations.
I've built these before. For real companies.
Before starting Santacruz Systems, I built the systems that real teams run on every day. Not class projects. Real people, real work.
- Companies use what I build every single day to run their work. No more spreadsheets, no more lost emails.
- I design systems around how teams actually work, not the other way around.
- I've moved years of old records into new systems without losing a single one.
- I take processes where things fall through the cracks and turn them into ones that run themselves.
- I ship improvements every week without breaking what's already working.
- I pick the right tool for each problem. Ready-made when it fits, built from scratch when it doesn't.
- I sit down with owners and their teams in person. I find what's really costing you time, then I build that.
- Day-to-day operations
- Customer and job tracking
- Process automation
- Reports and visibility
- Working with owners directly
For your business, I build it around how you actually work. Not the other way around.
Four hats, one operator.
Software is my craft. Hospitality is my business. Photo and video are how I tell the story.

Internal tools & data systems
I design and build databases, dashboards, and automation for real teams. PostgreSQL, Next.js, Retool, APIs, and clean workflows people actually use.

Editorial & event photography
On the side, I shoot portraits, events, and the kind of behind-the-scenes work that turns into content for the bartending business and beyond.

Coming soon: videos
I'm building a video series in the bartending space. Technique, the craft, the business side, and what running a hospitality brand looks like from the inside.
Follow alongHow I work.
01
Systems thinking
Map the whole workflow before writing a line of code. The schema is the product.
02
Data discipline
Constraints, enums, indexes, and audit trails. Shaky data poisons everything downstream.
03
Practical UX
Simple screens that guide the user and reduce mistakes. Boring beats clever.
04
Shipping mindset
Small milestones, tight feedback loops, clean handoff docs. The tool still works in 3 months.
