Why an engineer, not an agency

I’m Mike Guarino. I grew up in New Jersey, studied computer science and business at Drew University, and have spent the last five years as a software engineer at a large enterprise software company, building and maintaining systems that a lot of people depend on every day. I started GainSolutions because the tools I use to ship software — the same AI models everyone’s reading about — are finally practical for a twelve-person firm, but only if someone who actually builds software sets them up.

That’s the whole offer. I look at how your business actually runs, find the two or three places where a person is doing a computer’s job, and replace them with automations that are documented, monitored, and yours. No reseller markup, no “AI-powered” slogans, no six-month retainers you can’t get out of. Fixed prices, month-to-month, and a straight answer when the honest recommendation is “don’t automate this.”

I’m based in Franklin Lakes and work with businesses across Bergen and Passaic counties and the NYC metro — in person when it helps, remote when it doesn’t.

Three things you can hold me to

• I'll tell you when AI won't help.
• You own every line and every account.
• No hype, no jargon.

The company, plainly

• GainSolutions LLC, operated from Franklin Lakes, New Jersey.
• One engineer. No sales team, no outsourced delivery. The person on the fit call is the person who builds.
• Prices are published on the pricing page. Every engagement has a written scope and month-to-month terms.
• No testimonials or case studies yet. When there are real ones, with written client permission, they’ll be here.
